91Constant-weight code — In coding theory, a constant weight code, also called an m of n code, is an error detection and correction code where all codewords share the same Hamming weight. The theory is closely connected to that of designs (such as t designs and Steiner… …
92Minimum weight — In error correcting coding, the minimum Hamming weight, commonly referred to as the minimum weight wmin of a code is the weight of the lowest weight code word. The weight w of a code word is the number of 1s in the word. For example the word… …
93Reed–Solomon error correction — Reed Solomon error correction is an error correcting code that works by oversampling a polynomial constructed from the data. The polynomial is evaluated at several points, and these values are sent or recorded. Sampling the polynomial more often… …
94Lexicographic code — Lexicographic codes or lexicodes are greedily generated error correcting codes with remarkably good properties. They were produced independently byLevenshtein [V.I. Levenstein. A class of systematic codes. Soviet Math. Dokl, 1(1):368 371, 1960.]… …
95MinHash — In computer science, MinHash (or the min wise independent permutations locality sensitive hashing scheme) is a technique for quickly estimating how similar two sets are. The scheme was invented by Andrei Broder (1997),[1] and initially used… …
96Nucleic acid design — can be used to create nucleic acid complexes with complicated secondary structures such as this four arm junction. These four strands associate into this structure because it maximizes the number of correct base pairs, with A s matched to T s and …
97Entropy (information theory) — In information theory, entropy is a measure of the uncertainty associated with a random variable. The term by itself in this context usually refers to the Shannon entropy, which quantifies, in the sense of an expected value, the information… …
98Phonetic algorithm — A phonetic algorithm is an algorithm for indexing of words by their pronunciation. Most phonetic algorithms were developed for use with the English language; consequently, applying the rules to words in other languages might not give a meaningful …
