The animation for the channel number on our tv (you know how when you change the channel it tells you what channel you are now on) changed today. Made me wonder how that happens. I thought that was defined by the tv… Strange.
Warblr
This is totally awesome!! One of my ideas is becoming an app soon. They just started and are trying to get funding through kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1190241008/warblr-an-app-that-recognises-birds-from-their-son?ref=nav_search. They seem to have a lot of media support and there app seems to work! Totally awesome. Fast Company did an article about it http://www.fastcoexist.com/3037817/fund-this/the-original-tweeting-this-app-is-like-shazam-for-bird-songs. https://drewsblog.herokuapp.com/?p=1741 my original post on my idea which… Continue reading Warblr
Impossible Objects
Some interesting geometry, where either optical illusions or impossible shapes are created: http://www.asiapacific-mathnews.com/01/0101/0001_0005.pdf http://aitopics.org/sites/default/files/classic/Machine%20Intelligence%206/MI6-Ch19-Huffman.pdf Escher and Huffman http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~gershon/EscherForReal/ http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~gershon/BeyondEscherForReal/
Spacial-temporal clustering
I think that idea is actually a field. Specifically spacial-temporal clustering. There are a lot of highly cited papers in this field. Also, it seems like it sort of tapered off in the mid-2000s. I don’t see any mention of it being applied to a multiagent system other than for cars.
Ponderings on an old topic
See people in general are getting in each others way when in a crowded environment. When there is a group of people that are working together in this crowd, their removal would cause the system to The idea is to try and find the least noisy, as the less noisy the I’m back to wanting… Continue reading Ponderings on an old topic
Fun problem
David had an idea for a problem: Given N individuals, each individual must, say, play a game with M other individuals. The length of the game is stochastic and dependent on who is playing the game. Describe an algorithm that will optimally group the individuals such that each individual has to wait the minimum amount… Continue reading Fun problem
HyperNEAT and facial recognition
So, I know that facial recognition is pretty decent, but I think that HyperNEAT would be pretty good at doing this. I think that it would be able to take advantage of the geometry of the face in order to better characterize the face. I have found a paper that used HyperNEAT on digits, and… Continue reading HyperNEAT and facial recognition
AAAI and AAMAS proceedings
http://www.aaai.org/Library/AAAI/aaai-library.php took me forever to find this and this http://www.aaai.org/ocs/index.php/AAAI/AAAI14/search. Very valuable. Then we have AAMAS proceedings: http://dl.acm.org/event.cfm?id=RE146&tab=pubs&CFID=454223637&CFTOKEN=11498247.
Adaptive Auctions
I found my idea that I had for the adaptive auctions. This isn’t the full general case of negotiation, but it is a start. http://www.sigecom.org/exchanges/volume_5/5.3-Pardoe.pdf And its by Peter Stone :).
Braille with ultrasound
So, 2 ideas 1. use that ultrasound based display to act as a braille display, so blind people could use it as a way to read and interact with the device. Then the other idea is to have a smartphone app that converts pictures of braille into english alphabet words… I think computer vision would… Continue reading Braille with ultrasound
