hiv_transmission: HIV transmission network (1988-2001)
A set of networks of HIV transmissions between people through sexual, needle-sharing, or social connections, based on combining 8 datasets collected from 1988 to 2001. Metadata includes test results of several diseases, as well as demographic variables such as age, ethnicity, and gender. Networks come in two flavors: egodyads and altdyads. Egodyads are the network among study-participants and their direct partners. Altdyads are the…

This time of year I put a small tray outside with oatmeal and currants (over which I have poured a bit of hot water, such that the oats stick together a bit). Starlings come in droves with their fledglings, and feed the chicks from the tray.

Control Architecture and Design for a Multi-robotic Visual Servoing System in Automated Manufacturing Environment
The use of robotic technology has drastically increased in manufacturing in the 21st century. But by utilizing their sensory cues, humans still outperform machines, especially in micro scale manufacturing, which requires high-precision robot manipulators. These sensory cues naturally compensate for high levels of uncertainties that exist in the manufacturing environment. Uncertainties in performing manufacturing tasks may come from measurement noise, model inaccuracy, joint compliance (e.g., el…

Capsule: Efficient Player Isolation for Datacenters
Cloud gaming is increasingly popular. A challenge for cloud provider is to keep datacenter utilization high: a non-trivial task due to application variety. These applications come in different shapes and sizes. So do cloud datacenter resources, e.g., CPUs, GPUs, NPUs. Part of the challenge stems from game engines being predominantly designed to run only one player. One player in a lightweight game might utilize only a fraction of the cloud server GPU.

There is little about Scott Jennings,

A decade into Trump’s capture of the Republican Party, Jennings is the premier crossover enabler.
He is perhaps CNN’s most recognizable face alongside its primetime anchors,
and he is feted on jokey, tough-talk shows like Bill Maher. 
But Jennings is a representation of our own malady,
a projection of a country whose political culture is now…
