Abstract— Recently the exact expression for the BER of rectangular QAM with arbitrary code mapping was obtained [1]. It is then natural to ask for the optimal constellation desig...
The clustering coefficient of a node in a social network is a fundamental measure that quantifies how tightly-knit the community is around the node. Its computation can be reduce...
Automatically extracting semantic content from audio streams can be helpful in many multimedia applications. Motivated by the known limitations of traditional supervised approache...
