We propose to use the concept of the Hamming bound to derive the optimal criteria for learning hash codes with a deep network. In particular, when the number of binary hash codes (typically the number of image categories) and code length…

It is reasonable to expect the theory of quantum codes to be simplified in the case of codes of minimum distance 2; thus, it makes sense to examine such codes in the hopes that techniques that prove effective there will generalize. With…

The Gap-Hamming distance problem is the promise problem of deciding if the Hamming distance $h$ between two strings of length $n$ is greater than $a$ or less than $b$, where the gap $g=|a-b|\geq 1$ and $a$ and $b$ could depend on $n$. In…
