In this paper we show that many kernel methods can be adapted to deal with indefinite kernels, that is, kernels which are not positive semidefinite. They do not satisfy Mercer...
Multiple description coding (MDC) has emerged as a powerful technique for reliable real-time communications over lossy packet networks. In its basic form, it involves encoding a me...
In this paper, we describe an algorithm for generating an exact rational envelope of a two-parameter family of spheres given by a quadratic patch in R3,1 , which is considered as ...
This work proposes and evaluates improvements to previously known algorithms for redundancy elimination. Enhanced Scalar Replacement combines two classic techniques, scalar replac...
Comments are valuable especially for program understanding and maintenance, but do developers comment their code? To which extent do they add comments or adapt them when they evol...
