VHDL Tutorial - Northeastern University

VHDL arose out of the United States government’s Very High Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSIC) program. In the course of this program, it became clear that there was a need for a standard language for describing the structure and function of inte-grated circuits (ICs). Hence the VHSI C Hardware Description Language (VHDL) was

Proving Algorithm Correctness

proof by cases/enumeration proof by chain of i s proof by contradiction proof by contrapositive For any algorithm, we must prove that it always returns the desired output for all legal instances of the problem. For sorting, this means even if the input is already sorted or it contains repeated elements. Proof by Counterexample

Tutorial on Support Vector Machine (SVM)

Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are competing with Neural Networks as tools for solving pattern recognition problems. This tutorial assumes you are familiar with concepts of Linear Algebra, real analysis and also understand the working of neural networks and have some background in AI.

problem may also require quantitative information. For quantitative methods, the analyst needs to plan tasks associated with sampling, sample preparation, and calibration more meticulously than a qualitative analysis. Often, preliminary measurements will be required to develop a quantitative method.

QUALITATIVE SAMPLING TECHNIQUES

Intensity sampling can allow the researcher to select a small number of rich cases that provide in depth information and knowledge of a phenomenon of interest. One might use intensity sampling in conjunction with other sampling methods. For example, one may collect 50 cases and then select a subset of intense cases for more in depth analysis.
