Sparse coding which encodes the original signal in a sparse signal space, has shown its state-of-the-art performance in the visual codebook generation and feature quantization pro...
Structured P2P networks are a promising alternative for engineering new distributed services and for replacing existing distributed services like DNS. Providing competitive perfor...
Consider two locally finite rooted trees as equivalent if each of them is a topological minor of the other, with an embedding preserving the tree-order. Answering a question of va...
