I am getting a new apartment and am going to move-in in October! This time it is a fancy one, not a basement of a house, but well it is still technically in a basement (subterranean as the apartment office calls it). It is fancy in that it is part of an apartment complex. The… Continue reading Smart Apartment Communities
Kung Pow Chicken!
Kung Pow Chicken recipe I learned from Ermo and helped make with Leslie at his and Shu’s place today. It was soooo sooo delicious! 4 chicken thighs cut into tiny-ish cubes. Best if thigh is still somewhat frozen. It is easier to cut. Mix up the marinade for the chicken. Some salt, soy sauce, vinegar,… Continue reading Kung Pow Chicken!
Wedding Prep and Research
Wow! I’m quite busy. Leslie and I’ve been putting together a wedding website (here, also she did it all. All I did was suggest where and put in the map lol). We have just finished our wedding registry and wow there is a lot you need for a kitchen. Leslie has made wedding invitations and… Continue reading Wedding Prep and Research
NYC for Agent Mix IJCAI Workshop 2016
Had an amazing first day in New York City. Took the BoltBus with Leslie at 7am (July 10th). We went and got pizza for lunch and went to the Met. To get to the met we took the metro and walked through central park catching Pokemon along the way :). We explored the Met for… Continue reading NYC for Agent Mix IJCAI Workshop 2016
I’m Engaged!
On June 29th 2016 I formally asked Leslie Ann Brown to marry me. She said “Yes!”. In a couple days, July 3rd, that will be our four month anniversary for how long we have been dating. Before that we knew each other from seeing each other at church for the past four years. The past… Continue reading I’m Engaged!
Leslie’s Birthday!
My girlfriend, Leslie, had her birthday today :)! I didn’t get to celebrate it with her because she is in Germany with her sister and brother-in-law. She baked herself her special chocolate cake, took care of her niece, worked on applying for a job, and had fun doing some digital art for Beyond Porch and… Continue reading Leslie’s Birthday!
Bounty Electricity
What if each appliance posted a bounty for providing in real time the amount of electricity it needed to function. The bounty would first be attempted by the house itself and if the house did not have any spare electricity in its batteries then it would post a bounty out for that electricity. The first… Continue reading Bounty Electricity
Machine Learning and History
I’ve had this idea for doing clustering and data mining of history texts. Would be interesting to creating learning algorithms that can learn timelines and context. Essentially history textbooks are structured possibly geographically and as a time series of events. Then doing graphical analysis and social analysis on these structures. Could compare history texts and… Continue reading Machine Learning and History
Research and Math :)
The IROS paper was submitted 10 minutes before the deadline on March 1st. The paper was okay, but I’m not thrilled about it because it is only the beginning stages of the work. So, it doesn’t really use the bounty hunting stuff to its fullest. Future papers will hopefully provide that. We also had to… Continue reading Research and Math 🙂
Starting on IROS 2016 paper
I got the rejection email from AAMAS last week for my paper on task abandonment for my bounty hunting system. However, I sort of was expecting this as it needs some more theoretical basis. So, I have to work on that. In the mean time there is still IROS! That is in Korea :). The… Continue reading Starting on IROS 2016 paper
