This work proposes QNet, a novel sequence encoder model that entirely inferences on the quantum computer using a minimum number of qubits. Let $n$ and $d$ represent the length of the sequence and the embedding size, respectively. The…
Let $k\leq n$ be two positive integers and $q$ a prime power. The basic question in minimal linear codes is to determine if there exists an $[n,k]_q$ minimal linear code. The first objective of this paper is to present a new sufficient and…

Given a string $T$ of length $n$, a substring $u = T[i..j]$ of $T$ is called a shortest unique substring (SUS) for an interval $[s,t]$ if (a) $u$ occurs exactly once in $T$, (b) $u$ contains the interval $[s,t]$ (i.e. $i \leq s \leq t \leq…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a set of $h$ pairwise-disjoint polygonal obstacles with a total of $n$ vertices in the plane. We consider the problem of building a data structure that can quickly compute an $L_1$ shortest obstacle-avoiding path…
We consider the standard message passing model; we assume the system is fully synchronous: all processes start at the same time and time proceeds in synchronised rounds. In each round each vertex can transmit a different message of size…
We propose new succinct representations of ordinal trees, which have been studied extensively. It is known that any $n$-node static tree can be represented in $2n + o(n)$ bits and a number of operations on the tree can be supported in…
Minimum Bayes Risk (MBR) decoding is a powerful decoding strategy widely used for text generation tasks, but its quadratic computational complexity limits its practical application. This paper presents a novel approach for approximating MBR…
Reversible circuits have been studied extensively and intensively, and have plenty of applications in various areas, such as digital signal processing, cryptography, and especially quantum computing. In 2003, the lower bound $\Omega(2^n…

In the successive refinement problem, a fixed-length sequence emitted from an information source is encoded into two codewords by two encoders in order to give two reconstructions of the sequence. One of two reconstructions is obtained by…

Let $s$ be a point in a polygonal domain $\mathcal{P}$ of $h-1$ holes and $n$ vertices. We consider a quickest visibility query problem. Given a query point $q$ in $\mathcal{P}$, the goal is to find a shortest path in $\mathcal{P}$ to move…
