NP Search Problems: A class of problems for which a solution can be verified quickly (in polynomial time), but finding a solution may be computationally intensive. Counting Hierarchy: A hierarchy ...

Recent oracle separations [Kretschmer, TQC'21, Kretschmer et. al., STOC'23] have raised the tantalizing possibility of building quantum cryptography from sources of hardness that persist even if the ...

For over a century, organizations have relied on hierarchy. It's comfortable, predictable, and, for some, deeply ingrained. Decisions flow downward, power stays at the top, and employees are ...

We employed the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine the relative importance of these criteria. We conclude that the integration of MDL and MCDA significantly improved model selection across ...

In this paper, we generalize previous descriptions of the HGF and its account of perceptual uncertainty. First, we explicitly formulate the extension of the HGF's hierarchy to any number of levels; ...

Final Exam: The final exam will be cumulative and held on Wednesday, May 11 from 2-5pm. No make-up exams will be given, so plan accordingly. You may bring a single, 8.5x11 inch, handwritten sheet of ...

Chromatography is the workhorse of biopharmaceutical downstream processing because it can selectively enrich a target product while removing impurities from complex feed streams. This is achieved by ...

Dr Amanda Cole, a lecturer at the University of Essex, says there is a "hierarchy of accents" in the UK, with accents from industrialised urban areas like Glasgow and Birmingham often seen as low ...
