: The usability of a computer system can be improved by design of the user interface, and, as importantly, by design of usersystem interactions. Our research presents usability-imp...
We present some improved bounds on necessary conditions for separating hash families of type {w, w} and type {w, w - 1}. In particular, these bounds apply to secure frameproof cod...
We describe a simple improvement to ngram language models where we estimate the distribution over closed-class (function) words separately from the conditional distribution of ope...
Images captured in foggy weather conditions exhibit losses in quality which are dependent on distance. If the depth and atmospheric conditions are known, one can enhance the images...
We introduce a practical and improved version of the Polyharmonic Local Sine transform (PHLST) called PHLST5. After partitioning an input image into a set of rectangular blocks, t...
