Ever wondered if you can build a working face detector quickly? If you are in computer vision, you would have built a face detector one time or the other. If not, then you will be able to build one by the end of this post. This blog post is not about the concept or the … Continue reading How To Build A Face Detector?

The Genesis Of Genetic Algorithms
Let's say you have a function and you want to optimize it. In real life, this function can take many forms like choosing the right set of features for your car while keep the price low, picking the best possible apartment considering all the different factors like location, rent, closeness to stores etc, making a … Continue reading The Genesis Of Genetic Algorithms
Can Machines Be Truly Independent?
In my previous blog post, we discussed about how we can measure a computer's intelligence. When we talk about machine intelligence, what exactly are we talking about? Are we just talking about machines mimicking the human ways and mannerisms in the best possible way? No matter what the machines do, they are still following a … Continue reading Can Machines Be Truly Independent?
Can We Measure A Computer’s Intelligence?
People talk about artificial intelligence all the time. Artificial intelligence is the branch of study which deals with putting intelligence into the machines so that they can do things by themselves. But how do we know if they are getting intelligent? For us humans, we have designed various kinds of IQ tests to measure our … Continue reading Can We Measure A Computer’s Intelligence?
Curvelet Analysis
This blog post is a continuation of my previous post on ridgelet analysis. Motivated by the problem of finding efficient representation of objects, people introduced yet another representation system called the curvelet transform. This is very efficient in representing objects that have discontinuities along curves, and compressing image data as well. Curvelets are a non-adaptive technique … Continue reading Curvelet Analysis
Ridgelet Analysis
The pioneering work of researchers on signal processing paved the way to the powerful concept of multiresolution analysis. This is perhaps best known under the generic name of wavelets. Signals occur in the form of images, voice, radar, sonar, infrared etc. Different techniques have been developed over the years to understand these signals. Multiresolution provides … Continue reading Ridgelet Analysis
