We study the complexity of building pseudorandom generators (PRGs) with logarithmic seed length from hard functions. We show that, starting from a function f : {0, 1}l → {0, 1} ...
We propose a preprocessing method for Web mining which, given semi-structured documents with the same structure and style, distinguishes useless parts and non-useless parts in each...
Some recent works have shown that the “perfect” selection of the best IR system per query could lead to a significant improvement on the retrieval performance. Motivated by thi...
An important application for microphone arrays is to extract highquality output from a single wideband source in multi-source and adverse environments. Methods based on blind-sour...
Among the many attempts made to represent families of 2D shapes in a simpler way, the Medial Axis (MA) takes a prominent place. Its graphical representation is intuitively appealin...
