In keeping with a brief return to my telecom/cable/satellite/media analysis roots, my latest piece commissioned by TechTarget takes a look at how AI is being integrated into 5G, mostly to push more compute power down to more devices.
Many thanks to Scott Lawrence of Verizon Business, Joe Madden of Mobile Experts, and the utterly delightful Ray Liu of Origin AI for their insights.

A Scalable Attention-Based Approach for Image-to-3D Texture Mapping
High-quality textures are critical for realistic 3D content creation, yet existing generative methods are slow, rely on UV maps, and often fail to remain faithful to a reference image. To address these challenges, we propose a transformer-based framework that predicts a 3D texture field directly from a single image and a mesh, eliminating the need for UV mapping and differentiable rendering, and enabling faster texture generation. Our method integrates a triplane representation with depth-based…

Observations of Flare Induced Doppler Shifts in the Si~\textsc{iii} $1206\,\textrm{Å}$ line
Doppler shifts in chromospheric and transition-region lines during solar flares are often interpreted as chromospheric condensation or evaporation. However, alternative sources of Doppler-shifted emission have been suggested, such as filament eruptions, jets or chromospheric bubbles. We analyse high-cadence scans from SORCE/SOLSTICE, which provide one-minute resolution profiles of the transition-region Si~\textsc{iii} ($1206\,\textrm{Å}$, $\textrm{T} = 10^{4.6}\,\textrm{K}$) line. 11 X-, M-, a…

Today, a year ago, I ventured on a dream trip I'd been researching for a long time, and which ended up being a semi-religious experience, being immersed in (and somewhat overwhelmed by) an actively changing environment, the upheaval and plethora of geological features, structures, unreal colors, layers, textures and the "wounds" exposed by the melting and disappearing glaciers... Countless waterfalls, stunning erosion features, later traversing the glacier ga…
