We pose the question of what is the best generalization of the factorial and the binomial coefficient. We give several examples, derive their combinatorial properties, and demonstrate their interrelationships. Généralisation des Coefficients du Binôme On cherche icì a déterminer est la meilleure généralisation possible des factorielles et des coefficients du binôme. On s'interessè a plusieurs e...

This paper introduces dual decomposition as aframework for deriving inference algorithmsfor NLP problems. The approach relies onstandard dynamic-programming algorithms asoracle solvers for sub-problems, together witha simple method for forcing agreement be-tween the different oracles. The approachprovably solves a linear programming (LP) re-laxation of the global...

A Dedicated Sieving Hardware

We describe a hardware device for supporting the sieving step in integer factoring algorithms like the quadratic sieve or the number field sieve. In analogy to Bernstein’s proposal for speeding up the linear algebra step, we rely on a mesh of very simple processing units. Manufacturing the device at moderate cost with current hardware technology on standard wafers with 200 mm or 300 mm diameter...
