Sensor Model Identification via Simultaneous Model Selection and State Variable Determination
We present a method for the unattended gray-box identification of sensor models commonly used by localization algorithms in the field of robotics. The objective is to determine the most likely sensor model for a time series of unknown measurement data, given an extendable catalog of predefined sensor models. Sensor model definitions may require states for rigid-body calibrations and dedicated reference frames to replicate a measurement based on the robot's localization state. A health metric is…

Optimal experiment design for practical parameter identifiability and model discrimination
Mechanistic mathematical models of biological systems usually contain a number of unknown parameters whose values need to be estimated from available experimental data in order for the models to be validated and used to make quantitative predictions. This requires that the models are practically identifiable, that is, the values of the parameters can be confidently determined, given available data. A well-designed experiment can produce data that are much more informative for the purpose of inf…

Analytic Dilogarithm Identities
By showing that the ratio of two beta-like integrals equals an integer, new Dilogarithm identities are derived, as well as analytic proofs to conjectured identities. New, non-trivial 2-term and ladder-like Dilogarithm identities are derived about ${Q}[\sqrt{2}]$, ${Q}[\sqrt{5}]$, ${Q}[\sqrt{-7}]$, and ${Q}[\sqrt{3}]$, . This also leads also to a connection between identities ${Q}[\sqrt{13}]$ and ${Q}[\sqrt{3}]$. Single-term and two-term complex Dilogarithm identities are derived, in addition to…

Holistic approach and Advanced Color Singlet Identification for physics measurements at high energy frontier
To enhance the discovery power of high-energy colliders, we propose a holistic approach and Advanced Color Singlet Identification (ACSI), both of which utilize inclusive reconstructed information as input. The holistic approach is designed to simultaneously classify physics events, while ACSI focuses on associating final-state particles with their parent massive bosons. Implemented using state-of-the-art artificial intelligence architectures and applied to benchmark analyses with simulated data…

PolyTrack: try try again
PolyTrack is a Trackmania tribute - almost identical gameplay mechanics, but with digital controls, simplified driving model, and a very stripped-back graphical style. It's even simpler than Virtua Racing in many ways, with the car having a polygon count almost in the single digits. This simplicity means that it runs incredibly smoothly, even in-browser at Much like Trackmania, the courses are short but deceptively tricky to complete.

I don’t have a father. My adoptive father was an abuser (physical, emotional, & sexual) who croaked more than a decade ago, & my bio father passed away at age 59 (before I identified him, sadly). But Mr. Boots is a father AND a dad, so let’s all wish him a very happy #FathersDay —I’m gonna cook him a delicious steak & baked potato dinner! 🥰
