Talking about radicalisation is in vogue — a bit late, but now prevalent amongst the policy circles in Pakistan. Beyond the scope of my article today as it is, the debate around radicalisation in ...
Algorithms, examples and tests for denoising, deblurring, zooming, dequantization and compressive imaging with total variation (TV) and second-order total generalized variation (TGV) regularization.
The algorithm aligns lecture videos with corresponding slides with a multimodal algorithm that uses audio, OCR and image features all together. The approach uses dynamic programming to include a ...
Some algorithms are more efficient than others. We would prefer to chose an efficient algorithm, so it would be nice to have metrics for comparing algorithm efficiency. The complexity of an algorithm ...
Psychological testing has come a long way from Freud’s theories of the unconscious to today’s AI-powered assessments and biometric sensors. What began as a search to understand the mind has evolved ...
