A data engineering perspective on why restructuring a single Excel formula can reduce calculation time from 30 minutes to seconds — and why the same algorithmic thinking applies to lookup functions, ...

Dictionary indexing (DI) for Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) has conventionally traded computational speed for superior robustness to pattern noise when compared to traditional Hough indexing ...

Year-end season is normally all about positivity—publications pick their favorite albums and songs from the previous 12 months, and then we all argue over placements and omissions. “Where’s __?” is an ...

Quantum computing has crossed a line that classical machines cannot easily follow, pushing simulations of matter and forces into regimes that even the largest supercomputers struggle to touch. Instead ...

If VRAM is the brake pedal on local LLMs, quantization is how we ease the pressure. At its core, it’s simple: store numbers with fewer bits. But in practice, modern methods like GPTQ, AWQ, and GGUF ...

For thousands of years, mathematicians have adapted to the latest advances in logic and reasoning. Are they ready for artificial intelligence? By Siobhan Roberts In the collection of the Getty museum ...

The propositional satisfiability problem (SAT) was the first to be shown NP-complete by Cook and Levin. SAT remained the embodiment of theoretical worst-case hardness. However, in stark contrast to ...

I originally created this as a short to-do list of study topics for becoming a software engineer, but it grew to the large list you see today. After going through this study plan, I got hired as a ...

Abstract: In image matching, the oriented FAST and rotated BRIEF algorithm (ORB) has fast matching speed and less space. However, local features extracted do not have scale invariance. Its matching ...
