Recently, a new Pattern Recognition technique based on straight line segments (SLSs) was presented. The key issue in this new technique is to find a function based on distances b...
We describe a method for applying parsimonious language models to re-estimate the term probabilities assigned by relevance models. We apply our method to six topic sets from test ...

Given a set Q of squares with positive pro ts, the square packing problem is to select and pack a subset of squares of maximum pro t into a rectangular bin R. We present a polynomi...
The Open Spectrum approach to spectrum access can achieve near-optimal utilization by allowing devices to sense and utilize available spectrum opportunistically. However, a naive d...
