CONT

Monothetic clustering is a divisive clustering method that uses a hierarchical, recursive partitioning of multivariate responses based on binary decision rules that are built from individual response variables... Based on the ideas of classification and regression trees, a monothetic clustering algorithm was implemented... to allow further explorations and modifications.

... a side-channel attack is any attack based on extra information that can be gathered because of the fundamental way a computer protocol or algorithm is implemented rather than flaws in the design of the protocol or algorithm itself...

On a longtemps considéré la sécurité informatique comme étant la sécurité des logiciels. Or, ces logiciels s'exécutant bel et bien sur du matériel, il est possible de surveiller les effets de bord du matériel durant leur exécution, comme la consommation de courant ou encore le temps d'exécution, pour attaquer l'implémentation de certains algorithmes. Ces attaques sont appelées attaques par canal auxiliaire.

  • Computer Mathematics

CONT

The aggregative algorithm is usually implemented from bottom to top. Such algorithm first considers each node as a community and calculates the similarity between every pair of community, and then merges two communities with the largest similarity.

OBS

Bottom-up algorithms treat each data point as a single cluster at the outset and then successively merge (or agglomerate) pairs of clusters until all clusters have been merged into a single cluster that contains all data points.

On distingue deux types de méthodes [de classification hiérarchique], les méthodes ascendantes (algorithmes agglomératifs) et les méthodes descendantes (algorithmes divisifs).

Los algoritmos de clasificación jerárquicos pueden ser de 2 tipos: aglomerativos o ascendentes y divisivos o descendentes. Los algoritmos aglomerativos, mediante la utilización de algún criterio, van agrupando unidades de análisis en cada paso hasta llegar a un conglomerado que engloba a la totalidad.

CONT

A representation that stands for a method of evaluating a function is called an algorithm. A representation that stands for values is called data. When implemented by a machine, an algorithm controls the transformation of an input data representation to an output data representation. The algorithm representation controls the transformation of data representations.

Pour représenter un algorithme, deux méthodes : l'organigramme de programmation qui est une représentation graphique utilisée pour analyser un problème. Cette représentation de l'algorithme présente l'avantage d'être visuel mais est peu adapté aux problèmes complexes (mise en page, papier à utiliser).

A sorting algorithm in which the file is first sorted on the least significant digit of the sort key, then the next least significant until in the final pass a sort is made on the most significant digit.

OBS

The algorithm is best implemented using linked lists.

The Soft-Thresholding Image Analysis(STIA) computational algorithm was developed to rapidly detect anomalous regions in digital(or digitized) radiographs. It is implemented mostly on an image processor, with a small portion of the computation performed by the host computer. STIA generates a computerized image, or "mask", out of individual pixels that have been evaluated in terms of their "gray level", or brightness. Requiring only 12 s to generate a region-of-interest mask, STIA is sufficiently fast for use in nearly real-time inspection applications.

DEF

The confidence level generated by a system environment i.e. the procedures, conditions, and objects that affect its development, operation, and maintenance.

OBS

The assurance provided by any... security services... can be ascertained by determining the strength and correctness of the mechanism that provides the service. For physical, administrative, and procedural mechanisms, the assurance level is determined by reviewing the processes that are implemented. For electronic mechanisms, empirical or exhaustive techniques are generally used... For cryptographic devices, the assurance level or strength is largely dependent on the length of the codes used in the algorithm.
