Music information retrievalMusic information retrieval (MIR) is the interdisciplinary science of retrieving information from music. Those involved in MIR may have a background in academic musicology, psychoacoustics, psychology, signal processing, informatics, machine learning, optical music recognition, computational intelligence or some combination of these. MIR is being used by businesses and academics to categorize, manipulate and even create music.
Fermeture transitiveLa fermeture transitive est une opération mathématique pouvant être appliquée sur des relations binaires sur un ensemble, autrement dit sur des graphes orientés. La clôture transitive, ou fermeture transitive R d'une relation binaire R sur un ensemble X est la relation ce qui peut également se traduire ainsi : Si on nomme la relation "il existe un chemin de taille n entre a et b" On définit C'est la plus petite relation transitive sur X contenant R.
Cray-2The Cray-2 is a supercomputer with four vector processors made by Cray Research starting in 1985. At 1.9 GFLOPS peak performance, it was the fastest machine in the world when it was released, replacing the Cray X-MP in that spot. It was, in turn, replaced in that spot by the Cray Y-MP in 1988. The Cray-2 was the first of Seymour Cray's designs to successfully use multiple CPUs. This had been attempted in the CDC 8600 in the early 1970s, but the emitter-coupled logic (ECL) transistors of the era were too difficult to package into a working machine.
Recherche d'informationLa recherche d'information (RI) est le domaine qui étudie la manière de retrouver des informations dans un corpus. Celui-ci est composé de documents d'une ou plusieurs bases de données, qui sont décrits par un contenu ou les métadonnées associées. Les bases de données peuvent être relationnelles ou non structurées, telles celles mises en réseau par des liens hypertexte comme dans le World Wide Web, l'internet et les intranets. Le contenu des documents peut être du texte, des sons, des images ou des données.
Cray-1The Cray-1 was a supercomputer designed, manufactured and marketed by Cray Research. Announced in 1975, the first Cray-1 system was installed at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1976. Eventually, eighty Cray-1s were sold, making it one of the most successful supercomputers in history. It is perhaps best known for its unique shape, a relatively small C-shaped cabinet with a ring of benches around the outside covering the power supplies and the cooling system. The Cray-1 was the first supercomputer to successfully implement the vector processor design.
Computational complexityIn computer science, the computational complexity or simply complexity of an algorithm is the amount of resources required to run it. Particular focus is given to computation time (generally measured by the number of needed elementary operations) and memory storage requirements. The complexity of a problem is the complexity of the best algorithms that allow solving the problem. The study of the complexity of explicitly given algorithms is called analysis of algorithms, while the study of the complexity of problems is called computational complexity theory.
Théorie de la complexité (informatique théorique)vignette|Quelques classes de complexité étudiées dans le domaine de la théorie de la complexité. Par exemple, P est la classe des problèmes décidés en temps polynomial par une machine de Turing déterministe. La théorie de la complexité est le domaine des mathématiques, et plus précisément de l'informatique théorique, qui étudie formellement le temps de calcul, l'espace mémoire (et plus marginalement la taille d'un circuit, le nombre de processeurs, l'énergie consommée ...) requis par un algorithme pour résoudre un problème algorithmique.
Round-robin (informatique)thumb|upright=1.5|Exemple de planification de tâches en round-robin Le Round-robin (ou tourniquet) est un algorithme d'ordonnancement courant dans les systèmes d'exploitation adapté aux systèmes travaillant en temps partagés. Une petite unité de temps, appelé quantum de temps, est définie. La file d'attente est gérée comme une file circulaire. L'ordonnanceur parcourt cette file et alloue un temps processeur à chacun des processus pour un intervalle de temps de l'ordre d'un quantum au maximum.
Computer memoryComputer memory stores information, such as data and programs for immediate use in the computer. The term memory is often synonymous with the term primary storage or main memory. An archaic synonym for memory is store. Computer memory operates at a high speed compared to storage which is slower but less expensive and higher in capacity. Besides storing opened programs, computer memory serves as disk cache and write buffer to improve both reading and writing performance.
Document retrievalDocument retrieval is defined as the matching of some stated user query against a set of free-text records. These records could be any type of mainly unstructured text, such as newspaper articles, real estate records or paragraphs in a manual. User queries can range from multi-sentence full descriptions of an information need to a few words. Document retrieval is sometimes referred to as, or as a branch of, text retrieval. Text retrieval is a branch of information retrieval where the information is stored primarily in the form of text.
