He was a fellow of the IEEE Information Theory Society. He received the IEEE Richard W.

Levenshtein Coding
Levenshtein coding is a universal code encoding the non-negative integers developed by Vladimir Levenshtein. Encoding The code of zero is "0"; to code a positive number: #Initialize the step count variable ''C'' to 1. #Write the binary representation of the number without the leading "1" to the beginning of the code. #Let ''M'' be the number of bits written in step 2. #If ''M'' is not 0, increment ''C'', repeat from step 2 with M as the new number. #Write ''C'' "1" bits and a "0" to the beginning of the code. The code begins: To decode a Levenshtein-coded integer: #Count the number of "1" bits until a "0" is encountered. #If the count is zero, the value is zero, otherwise #Start with a variable ''N'', set it to a value of 1 and repeat ''count minus 1'' times: #Read ''N'' bits, prepend "1", assign the resulting value to ''N'' The Levenshtein code of a positive integer is always one bit longer than the Elias omega code of that integer. However, there is a Levenshtein cod ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Levenshtein Distance
In information theory, linguistics, and computer science, the Levenshtein distance is a string metric for measuring the difference between two sequences. Informally, the Levenshtein distance between two words is the minimum number of single-character edits (insertions, deletions or substitutions) required to change one word into the other. It is named after the Soviet mathematician Vladimir Levenshtein, who considered this distance in 1965. Levenshtein distance may also be referred to as ''edit distance'', although that term may also denote a larger family of distance metrics known collectively as edit distance. It is closely related to pairwise string alignments. Definition The Levenshtein distance between two strings a, b (of length , a, and , b, respectively) is given by \operatorname(a, b) where : \operatorname(a, b) = \begin , a, & \text , b, = 0, \\ , b, & \text , a, = 0, \\ \operatorname\big(\operatorname(a),\operatorname(b)\big) & \text a = b \\ 1 + \min ...

Jewish Surnames
Jewish surnames are family names used by Jews and those of Jewish origin. Jewish surnames are thought to be of comparatively recent origin; the first known Jewish family names date to the Middle Ages, in the 10th and 11th centuries CE. Jews have some of the largest varieties of surnames among any ethnic group, owing to the geographically diverse Jewish diaspora, as well as cultural assimilation and the recent trend toward Hebraization of surnames. Some traditional surnames relate to Jewish history or roles within the religion, such as Cohen ("priest"), Levi, Shulman ("synagogue-man"), Sofer ("scribe"), or Kantor ("cantor"), while many others relate to a secular occupation or place names. The majority of Jewish surnames used today developed in the past three hundred years. History Historically, Jews used Hebrew patronymic names. In the Jewish patronymic system the first name is followed by either ''ben-'' or ''bat-'' ("son of" and "daughter of," respectively), and then the ...

Levite Surnames
Levites (or Levi) (, he, ''Lǝvīyyīm'') are Jewish males who claim patrilineal descent from the Tribe of Levi. The Tribe of Levi descended from Levi, the third son of Jacob and Leah. The surname ''Halevi'', which consists of the Hebrew definite article "" ''Ha-'' ("the") plus ''Levi'' (Levite) is not conclusive regarding being a Levite; a titular use of HaLevi indicates being a Levite. The daughter of a Levite is a " ''Bat Levi''" (''Bat'' being Hebrew for "daughter"). The Tribe of Levi served particular religious duties for the Israelites and had political (administering cities of refuge) and educational responsibilities as well. In return, the landed tribes were expected to support the Levites with a tithe (), particularly the tithe known as the First tithe, ''ma'aser rishon''. The Kohanim, a subset of the Levites, were the priests, who performed the work of holiness in the Temple. The Levites, referring to those who were not Kohanim, were specifically assigned to * sing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
