Slashdot Mirror

Their Wikipedia page says nothing about their EE department. I took a quick look at their EE dept. faculty page and, while large, don't seem to be doing much in chip design or fabrication.

Can someone with more knowledge of the University provide some insight on its relationship to the Chinese military and national government? Has anybody here worked with current Tsinghua University faculty?

He basically describes OCR to read the text (mostly cancelled claims), and then piping the textual description to a video synthesis system. I'm not aware of video synthesis, but image synthesis and composition already exists, and has for several years. For example: Sketch2Photo shows a similar concept that can be used to dismiss a good chunk of the very few claims left in this application.

Oh, they've got themtoo.

Elad Verbin proved that floodit is NP-Hard more than a year ago. See the comments here: http://valis.cs.uiuc.edu/blog/?p=2005".

Talking about random shuffles, does anyone know of a shuffle algorithm emulating a "real" dovetail shuffle of a deck of cards?

In the late 80's, Dave Bayer and Persi Diaconis (Trailing the dovetail shuffle to its lair. The Annals of Applied Probability) showed that 7 shuffles of a deck of 52 was sufficiently random for most purposes. The New York Times ran a story and following a number of critiques showing that the results were not sufficiently random for every kind of application (see New Age Solitaire), I heard no more of this seemingly promising NlogN approach to shuffling.

Damn slashcode!

Since the link to homepage in the article is some old-dated one, here's a correct one:

And the binaries (it's a few command line programs, so no fancy UI)

Are you too cool to google the site name and find other references?

Of course, the journal article referencing the successful reactor and the university site are "under the best of circumstances less than reliable sources". Durrr

This is no big deal, you guys are kind of funny.
Here is the information about it, it just finally went into effect I guess.

basically becomes this: http://xn--xkrp53d.cn/
Or, as I see it from my end http:///#28165;&%2321326;.cn

Basically, here's what they are doing, they setup their own root to handle the characters and these character domains will be routed to their own TLD, they will probably reroute other stuff they want to as well. Oh well, it's March 1st here in China, and there is no change I can see other than finally being able to use characters.

I saw an interesting demo on a similar subject at Tsinghua university and as I remember correctly, they were working together with PacketVideo. According to a Wired article a few months ago, PacketVideo is working on mobile MPEG, but the research that was being done, is easily applied to media searching technology. For example, they were able to search for similar kinds of movements, like the scores in a basketball game. And also for general camera movements, like pan and zoom actions.

Very interesting!
