Erik Scherder: ‘We denken te weinig en we bewegen te weinig. Daar strijd ik tegen. Dat is mijn missie’
Beweeg! Denk na! Neuropsycholoog Erik Scherder blijft het maar roepen. Hij kan niet anders: ‘Je móét moeite doen om de kwaliteit van je hersens te handhaven.’ In zijn boek Liever moe dan lui trekt hij opnieuw ten strijde, nu tegen AI. ‘Afnemende Intelligentie, noem ik het.’

Weakly-Convex Regularization for Magnetic Resonance Image Denoising
Regularization for denoising in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically achieved using convex regularization functions. Recently, deep learning techniques have been shown to provide superior denoising performance. However, this comes at the price of lack of explainability, interpretability and stability, which are all crucial to MRI. In this work, we present a constructive approach for designing weakly-convex regularization functions for MR image denoising. We show that our technique perf…

Universal Dancing by Luminous Robots under Sequential Schedulers
The Dancing problem requires a swarm of $n$ autonomous mobile robots to form a sequence of patterns, aka perform a choreography. Existing work has proven that some crucial restrictions on choreographies and initial configurations (e.g., on repetitions of patterns, periodicity, symmetries, contractions/expansions) must hold so that the Dancing problem can be solved under certain robot models. Here, we prove that these necessary constraints can be dropped by considering the LUMI model (i.e., wher…

Auch wenn die Exil-Iraner nun jubeln und es ist bestimmt auch eine befreiung durch die USA für Iran sein wird. Aber man muss das ganze von zwei Seiten sehen. Weil Israel nun von Gaza perfect ablenken kann, niemand wird nun noch an die Geisel denken und keiner wird noch an den Ukraine Krieg denken.
Daher wäre dieser Krieg bestimmt irgendwie mit Diplomatischen Mittel verhindert werden können.
Aber nun ist das Kind in den Brunnen gefallen.
Das ist aber meine persönliche Meinung ;…

Self-Supervised Joint Reconstruction and Denoising of T2-Weighted PROPELLER MRI of the Lungs at 0.55T
Purpose: This study aims to improve 0.55T T2-weighted PROPELLER lung MRI through a self-supervised joint reconstruction and denoising model. Methods: T2-weighted 0.55T lung MRI dataset including 44 patients with previous covid infection were used. A self-supervised learning framework was developed, where each blade of the PROPELLER acquisition was split along the readout direction into two partitions. One subset trains the unrolled reconstruction network, while the other subset is used for lo…

I just got sucked into the anachronism of the mention of an 'electric car' in a song about an 1890 bar fight and eventually found this page which has the best explanation:

Deep Equilibrium Convolutional Sparse Coding for Hyperspectral Image Denoising
Hyperspectral images (HSIs) play a crucial role in remote sensing but are often degraded by complex noise patterns. Ensuring the physical property of the denoised HSIs is vital for robust HSI denoising, giving the rise of deep unfolding-based methods. However, these methods map the optimization of a physical model to a learnable network with a predefined depth, which lacks convergence guarantees. In contrast, Deep Equilibrium (DEQ) models treat the hidden layers of deep networks as the solution…
