Quantum information and computation is the new hype in physics. It is promising, mindboggling and even already applicable in cryptography, with good prospects ahead. A brief, rathe...
A novel algorithm is described for coding objects in video compression systems which gives complete control over the bit allocation to the video objects. The method is evaluated b...
We describe a component of a document analysis system for constructing ontologies for domain-specific web tables imported into Excel. This component automates extraction of the Wa...
