Dense bytes from antiferromagnetic bits

Bits and bytes of planning new ORs.

Multilingual Language Processing From Bytes

We describe an LSTM-based model which we call Byte-to-Span (BTS) that reads text as bytes and outputs span annotations of the form [start, length, label] where start positions, lengths, and labels are separate entries in our vocabulary. Because we operate directly on unicode bytes rather than languagespecific words or characters, we can analyze text in many languages with a single model. Due to...

Are Bits and Bytes Better than Bingo? Seniors' Perceptions and Attitudes about Computers and the Internet

The seniors market, people 55 years of age or over, represents a growing proportion of our population, with increasing spending power. Seniors use computers and the Internet less than those in younger demographics (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2004). This research focuses on the attitudes, perceptions and the resulting technology adoption by seniors. Not all those using computers use the In...

A Picture is Worth a Billion Bits: Real-Time Image Reconstruction from Dense Binary Pixels

The pursuit of smaller pixel sizes at ever increasing resolution in digital image sensors is mainly driven by the stringent price and form-factor requirements of sensors and optics in the cellular phone market. Recently, Eric Fossum proposed a novel concept of an image sensor with dense sub-diffraction limit one-bit pixels (jots) [6], which can be considered a digital emulation of silver halide...
