The stability of sample based algorithms is a concept commonly used for parameter tuning and validity assessment. In this paper we focus on two well studied algorithms, LSI and PCA, and propose a feature selection process that provably guarantees the stability of their outputs. The feature selection process is performed such that the level of (statistical) accuracy of the LSI/PCA input matrices...

This paper introduces our recent activities in R&D Center of Excellence for Integrated Microsystems toward new integrated MEMS. The most prominent difference of the new integrated MEMS from conventional ones is that MEMS is fabricated on advanced LSI with a very small design rule. Two examples of integrated MEMS technologies under development are described. The first one is singlecrystal-silico...

In translingual information retrieval (TIR), ad hoc queries in any of a set of languages can be used to retrieve documents in any of a set of languages. Classical information-retrieval methods such as the vector-space model cannot be applied to TIR because they base similarity on the overlap of terms between queries and documents| this is typically zero in TIR. The generalized vector-space mode...

DVD Sony has developed the CXD1922Q MPEG2 video encoder LSI designed for optimized MPEG2 MP@ML performance. This LSI concentrates in a single chip the extensive MPEG2 technology that Sony has developed over the last few years. At the same time as achieving the industry’s widest search range, the CXD1922Q integrates on a single chip an encoder that includes both the motion estimation block and t...
