Yakov Perelman forever! Are you referring to the limits book in dialogue format ? I came across one few years back.

I can't emphasize enough how important these books were in shaping my childhood in a rural town in India. I still vividly remember making a fuss when Misha and Sputnik stopped after the fall of Soviet. A part of me is forever indebted

Story of my life too, including the 15 years part! Every once in few years, when I feel like my memory skills are fading, I recite the damn key, pat myself in the back and go back to sleep.

I believe the legendary Project Xanadu has an interesting approach, possibly restrictive, for dealing with this issue. http://xanadu.com/xuTheModel/

There is a passing mention of Diderot in this book I'm currently reading - Mathematics, the loss of certainity by Morris Kline. It is quite fascinating to see how his view on Mathematics in 1750s was similar to that of the 20th century

That's very interesting! Thanks for taking the time out to comment. I'll post it on Reddit and see if I can get more info. Feel free to reach out to me through email. You can find it here - http://compute.vision/

I got to know about ASMR recently thanks to the video that was taken down and the description felt very similar to what I've experienced since I was a kid. I used to even flaunt this as a super power when I was young. Wondering if som

Nice. Unfortunately it stopped working after a couple of results. I get this google maps error now - https://imgur.com/a/Yf9Bv5l

This was the article that helped me get neural networks when I began studying them few years back. Interpreting them as a series of curvillinear coordinate transformations really helped me understand them better. PS: There is a great introd

Thank you! Fixed it :)

I scraped it from their website and then asked for their permission by sharing this link with them. They appreciated that I linked all the icons to their website and gave their consent to make this public.

Ouch. Sorry to have put you through that :/ I will fix it asap. And I agree with the parent too. Maybe some text below the horse that says fetching results... would make things clearer.

The MPEG-7 dataset[0] is what most researchers use to benchmark shape similarity algorithms. There are couple of other datasets that I used that I can't recollect now. These datasets are relatively simple with a single shape as opposed

Ah yes. This has to do with the thresholding 'bug' I discovered sometime ago. I will update the algorithm soon. Happens with color images in the preprocessing stage during the conversion of query image to a binary image, especiall

Thanks a ton for testing it quite exhaustively! Would really appreciate it if you can share the second image. I spent a lot of time working on a hack for 'normalizing' white on black and black on white backgrounds and also between

Improved results using icons with higher resolution, for those who are following this conversation and waiting with bated breath :) http://compute.vision/nouns/index.html?barnacles=https://s3.... http:/

:) Please feel free to share the SVGs. I will convert them to PNGs and test them out. I will add SVG support real soon. Right now I've put an exception handler that passes an empty array as query if an image format that can't be d

Thanks for the share! These icons are golden! I did something similar for logos that could be of interest to you - http://compute.vision/brands/colorpicker.html

I suspect it has to do with the lower resolution. I'm using nearest neighbors interpolation for resizing images and have noticed similar behaviour before. Would be great if you can try with higher resolution versions(preferably > 20

If you are referring to entering those words in the searchbox, yes I should've put in some warnings/checks there to enter a valid image URL. Will fix it soon. And yes I should make the site secure too. Thanks for letting me know.

Traditional algorithms and image vectors. I used a conconction of existing region and contour based techniques and threw in some original ideas as well.

Great idea. I'll definitely look into it. Thanks for the suggestion. Cheers
