This paper considers low-rate Waveform Interpolation (WI) coding. It compares the existing, common Slowly Evolving Waveform (SEW) quantisation scheme with two new schemes for representing and quantising the SEW. The first scheme uses a minimum phase estimate to reconstruct the SEW whilst the second scheme uses a pulse model whose parameters are implicitly transmitted in the quantised rapidly ev...

We introduce a scheme for optimally allocating a variable number of bits per LSH hyperplane. Previous approaches assign a constant number of bits per hyperplane. This neglects the fact that a subset of hyperplanes may be more informative than others. Our method, dubbed Variable Bit Quantisation (VBQ), provides a datadriven non-uniform bit allocation across hyperplanes. Despite only using a frac...

Abstract In this paper we study the isomonodromic deformations of systems differential equations with poles any order on Riemann sphere as Hamiltonian flows product co-adjoint orbits truncated current algebra, also called generalised Takiff algebra. Our motivation is to produce confluent versions celebrated Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov and explain how their quasiclassical solution can be expressed vi...

In this thesis, we present approaches to image retrieval, object recognition, and discriminative models. For image retrieval, we evaluate a large variety of different descriptors and answer the questions how descriptors can be combined and which descriptor should be chosen according to which criterion. We suggest a set of local descriptors that have been used successfully for object recognition...

Abstract We propose a “guide” towards quantisation of gravity based on quantum matter in statistical mechanics context. On one hand, model naturally arises from the thermodynamic interpretation horizons Rindler space. other path integral formulation field theory can be interpreted point view mechanics. From these perspectives, and are related to each same way as gas its chemical potential are. ...
