It's a neat method for isolating signals from a signal mix, as long as multiple recordings of the signal mix from different perspectives are available. An application would be isolating speakers in a conference room with many people talking (over each other), while a set of different microphones … Continue reading OPAW: Independent Component Analysis

An important disclaimer: unless you are way more bewandered in data structures than me, you're forgiven to believe that this paper revolutionises mainstream hash map implementations like the … Continue reading OPAW: Optimal Bounds for Open Addressing Without Reordering
