Finite width model sequence comparison

Finite width model sequence comparison.

Sequence comparison is a widely used computational technique in modern molecular biology. In spite of the frequent use of sequence comparisons, the important problem of assigning statistical significance to a given degree of similarity is still outstanding. Analytical approaches to filling this gap usually make use of an approximation that neglects certain correlations in the disorder underlyin...

A Multirate, Finite-width, Bow-string Interaction Model

In this paper we propose an efficient method to model the amount of bow hair in contact with the string in a physical model of a bowed string instrument.

An analysis of electromagnetic scattering from finite-width strips

Finite width of shear zones.

We present some experimental and numerical results based on a simple model designed to give an estimate for the width of a shear zone. We conclude that the observed finite size of the shear zone can be associated with the propagation of the force lines inside the medium. The model, based on a simple argument on the force distribution and dilatancy, predicts a width of about ten grain diameters.

Comparison of width-wise and length-wise language model compression

In this paper we investigate the extent to which Katz backoff language models can be compressed through a combination of parameter quantization (width-wise compression) and parameter pruning (length-wise compression) methods while preserving performance. We compare the compression and performance that is achieved using entropy-based pruning against that achieved using only parameter quantizatio...
