In this paper, we present a novel dense local image representation method called Local Walsh Transform (LWT)by applying the well-known Walsh Transform (WT) to each pixel of an image. The LWT decomposes an image into multiple ...

Person re-identification is a challenging task mainly dueto factors such as background clutter, pose, illuminationand camera point of view variations. These elements hinder the process of extracting robust and discriminative ...

Methods and apparatus deduplicate and erasure code a message in a data storage system. One example apparatus includes a first chunking circuit that generates a set of data chunks from a message, an outer precoding ...

This study presents a novel coded computation technique for distributed matrix-matrix product computation at a massive scale that outperforms well known previous strategies in terms of total execution time. Our method ...

Founsure is an open-source software library that implements a multi-dimensional graph-based erasure coding entirely based on fast exclusive OR (XOR) logic. Its implementation utilizes compiler optimizations and multi-threading ...

Social network analysis offers an understanding of our modern world, and it affords the ability to represent, analyze and even simulate complex structures. While an unweighted model can be used for online communities, trust ...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of cost of guessing and provide an optimal strategy for guessing a random variable taking values on a finite set whereby each choice may be associated with a positive finite cost ...

The current study aims at contributing to the interpretation of the most prominent language-related ERP effects, N400 and P600, by investigating how neural responses to congruent and incongruent sentence endings vary, when ...

The base station-mobile device communication traffic has dramatically increased recently due to mobile data, which in turn heavily overloaded the underlying infrastructure. To decrease Base Station (BS) interaction, ...

In this paper, centralized and independent repair approaches based on device-to-device communication for the repair of the lost nodes have been investigated in a cellular network where distributed caching is applied whose ...
