Filtering is a standard technique for fast approximate string matching in practice. In filtering, a quick first step is used to rule out almost all positions of a text as possib...
Vector algorithms allow the computation of an output vector r = r1r2 :::rm given an input vector e = e1e2 :::em in a bounded number of operations, independent of m the length of t...
Let f : {0, 1}n {0, 1}l be a one-way function. A function h : {0, 1}n {0, 1}m is called a hard-core function for f if, when given f(x) for a (secret) x drawn uniformly from {0, 1}n...
A central question in computational biology is the design of genetic markers to distinguish between two given sets of (DNA) sequences. This question is formalized as the NP-comple...
This paper presents an alternative to distance-based neural networks. A distance measure is the underlying property on which many neural models rely, for example self-organizing ma...
