In the setting of minimal local grammar-based coding, the input string is represented as a grammar with the minimal output length defined via simple symbol-by-symbol encoding. This paper discusses four contributions to this field. First, we…

We investigate the number of permutations that occur in random labellings of trees. This is a generalisation of the number of subpermutations occurring in a random permutation. It also generalises some recent results on the number of…

We explore various methods for computing sentence representations from pre-trained word embeddings without any training, i.e., using nothing but random parameterizations. Our aim is to put sentence embeddings on more solid footing by 1)…

In this study, we address the problem of compacting Church numerals. Church numerals appear as a representation of the repetitive part of data in higher-order compression. We propose a novel decomposition scheme for a natural number using…

We consider the problem of encoding two-dimensional arrays, whose elements come from a total order, for answering \topk{} queries. The aim is to obtain encodings that use space close to the information-theoretic lower bound, which can be…

Given $n$ observations from two balanced classes, consider the task of labeling an additional $m$ inputs that are known to all belong to \emph{one} of the two classes. Special cases of this problem are well-known: with complete knowledge of…

We define generalized de Bruijn words as those words having a Burrows-Wheeler transform that is a concatenation of permutations of the alphabet. We show that generalized de Bruijn words are in 1-to-1 correspondence with Hamiltonian cycles…

Twins in a finite word are formed by a pair of identical subwords placed at disjoint sets of positions. We investigate the maximum length of twins in a random word over a $k$-letter alphabet. The obtained lower bounds for small values of…

We consider the embedding problem in coding theory: given an independence (a code-related property) and an independent language $L$, find a maximal independent language containing $L$. We consider the case where the code-related property is…

For a polynomial $P$ of degree $n$ and an $m$-tuple $\Lambda=(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_m)$ of distinct complex numbers, the dope matrix of $P$ with respect to $\Lambda$ is $D_P(\Lambda)=(\delta_{ij})_{i\in [1,m],j\in[0,n]}$, where…

Efficient text embedding is crucial for large-scale natural language processing (NLP) applications, where storage and computational efficiency are key concerns. In this paper, we explore how using binary representations (barcodes) instead…

We establish a relationship between error terms appearing in estimates for the counting functions of smooth and rough numbers. We then apply this link to obtain an explicit upper bound for the error term in de Bruijn's approximation…

Self-explaining text categorization requires a classifier to make a prediction along with supporting evidence. A popular type of evidence is sub-sequences extracted from the input text which are sufficient for the classifier to make the…

It is a common contention that it is an ``impossible mission'' to exactly determine the minimum sample size for the estimation of a binomial parameter with prescribed margin of error and confidence level. In this paper, we investigate such…

We describe a type system for the linear-algebraic lambda-calculus. The type system accounts for the part of the language emulating linear operators and vectors, i.e. it is able to statically describe the linear combinations of terms…
