In this lecture we’ll see two more ways we can prove these lower bounds: the Rectangle Size Method and the Rank Method. Both of these are stronger than the fooling set method. We’ll show Ω(n) lower bounds for the dot product function with both methods while the fooling...

Mandarin-English Information (MEI)

Mandarin-English Information (MEI) is one of the four projects selected for the Johns Hopkins University Summer Workshop 2000. We plan to develop technologies for using written queries to search spoken documents (cross-media) between English and Mandarin Chinese (cross-language).
