  2. Dictionary coder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictionary_coder

    A dictionary coder, also sometimes known as a substitution coder, is a class of lossless data compression algorithms which operate by searching for matches between the text to be compressed and a set of strings contained in a data structure (called the 'dictionary') maintained by the encoder. When the encoder finds such a match, it substitutes ...

  3. Array slicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_slicing

    Thus, if we have a vector containing elements (2, 5, 7, 3, 8, 6, 4, 1), and we want to create an array slice from the 3rd to the 6th items, we get (7, 3, 8, 6). In programming languages that use a 0-based indexing scheme, the slice would be from index 2 to 5. Reducing the range of any index to a single value effectively eliminates that index.

  4. Sparse dictionary learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_dictionary_learning

    Sparse dictionary learning (also known as sparse coding or SDL) is a representation learning method which aims to find a sparse representation of the input data in the form of a linear combination of basic elements as well as those basic elements themselves. These elements are called atoms, and they compose a dictionary.

  5. k-SVD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-SVD

    In applied mathematics, k-SVD is a dictionary learning algorithm for creating a dictionary for sparse representations, via a singular value decomposition approach. k-SVD is a generalization of the k-means clustering method, and it works by iteratively alternating between sparse coding the input data based on the current dictionary, and updating the atoms in the dictionary to better fit the data.

  6. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    The value a is an appropriately chosen value that should be relatively prime to W; it should be large, [clarification needed] and its binary representation a random mix [clarification needed] of 1s and 0s. An important practical special case occurs when W = 2 w and M = 2 m are powers of 2 and w is the machine word size.

  7. Lexicographic order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicographic_order

    In mathematics, the lexicographic or lexicographical order (also known as lexical order, or dictionary order) is a generalization of the alphabetical order of the dictionaries to sequences of ordered symbols or, more generally, of elements of a totally ordered set. There are several variants and generalizations of the lexicographical ordering.

  8. Slice sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slice_sampling

    Slice sampling is a type of Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for pseudo-random number sampling, i.e. for drawing random samples from a statistical distribution.The method is based on the observation that to sample a random variable one can sample uniformly from the region under the graph of its density function.

  9. Positional notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation

    The first position represents 10 0 (1), the second position 10 1 (10), the third position 10 2 (10 × 10 or 100), the fourth position 10 3 (10 × 10 × 10 or 1000), and so on. Fractional values are indicated by a separator , which can vary in different locations.
