Reed-Solomon algebraic decoding procedures can correct errors and erasures. An erasure occurs when the position of an erred symbol is known. A decoder can correct up to t errors or up to 2t erasures.

We introduce a stochastic graph-based method for computing relative importance of textual units for Natural Language Processing. We test the technique on the problem of Text Summarization (TS).

The POSIX thread libraries are a standards based thread API for C/C++. It allows one to spawn a new concurrent process flow. It is most effective on multi-processor or multi-core systems where the ...

The primary primitive for producing multiple values is values, which takes any number of arguments and returns that many values. If the last form in the body of a function is a values with three ...

The following papers include theoretical treatments of Delaunay refinement and discussions of the implementation details of my two-dimensional mesh generator and Delaunay triangulator, Triangle, and ...

This webpage is a benchmark data set for keystroke dynamics. It is a supplement to the paper "Comparing Anomaly-Detection Algorithms for Keystroke Dynamics," by Kevin Killourhy and Roy Maxion, ...

We introduce the heat method for solving the single- or multiple-source shortest path problem on both flat and curved domains. A key insight is that distance computation can be split into two stages: ...

Common Lisp provides a spectrum of predicates for testing for equality of two objects: eq (the most specific), eql, equal, and equalp (the most general). eq and equal have the meanings traditional in ...

"We look at people like Jack Pidgeon or the public school teacher who stretched the envelope for 30 years as exceptions, as anachronisms, because only the toughest can make a life of it. And that's ...
