The master's program in AI I was referring to is only available in French (Laval University, Québec City). The chip design expertise is provided by most electrical engineering departments, with courses usually named VLSI design, FPGA&#

In my university, both machine (and deep) learning and FPGA + chip design are specialties of the electrical engineering department. We just launched earlier this year an industry-oriented AI masters degree. Taking your extra classes in chip

As a complement of information, the question of colorization was recently revisited using deep learning methods [1]. All very interesting work! [1] Zhang, Richard, Phillip Isola, and Alexei A. Efros. "Colorful image colorization."

Interesting topic. We did something similar in the past using the bytecode instead of the AST tree to accelerate genetic algorithm evolution: http://multigrad.blogspot.com/2014/07/low-level-frenzy.html http:&#x2F

Human vision works well because our brain has an incredible quantity of priors to guide it, that is similar past experiences that explain most of what we are seeing. When your eyes see something, only a small amount of information is passed

Neat project! Just curious about why using jp2a (spelt j2pa in the article) over other alternatives such as libcaca (img2txt) or aalib?

The best answer I can provide is: The code is there. There are no heuristics in it. Everytime you run it, you get different results (because of random initialization seeds and the stochastic nature of EA). It may find the (a - (x >>

That is the exact goal of the post. I arrived to the algorithm through evolution with random initialization. I enforced absolutely no heuristic to make it converge to this equation.

Everything is on default from Blogspot. I only put the Gist source code displayer and the LaTeX math javascript. If anyone is offering a new design, I would gladly take it... As long as I can concentrate on the content and not the container

This is really interesting. I'll be sure to include these references in my next blog post on the subject. The goal of the post was to find the equation from scratch, though. As it can be seen, the constant optimization was less the spo

Eureqa seems a wonderful software for this specific application. If only I could get 2,500$ for a one-year license...

It's javascript that loads the Gist into the page. You may have NoScript or similar that prevents the loader to fetch the code. The first code is the one from the Wikipedia page (fast inverse square root) and the second is this one: h

You are right. I made a review of the USB Condom in my blog, talking about the shortcomings of their implementation: http://multigrad.blogspot.ca/2013/09/review-of-usb-condoms.h...

We are currently using ZeroMQ in our distributed task framework in Python, SCOOP ( http://scoop.googlecode.com ). ZeroMQ was chosen as the communication library because it simply works and isn't bloated. No need to implement the state-machi
