LC-SLab -- An Object-based Deep Learning Framework for Large-scale Land Cover Classification from Satellite Imagery and Sparse In-situ Labels
Large-scale land cover maps generated using deep learning play a critical role across a wide range of Earth science applications. Open in-situ datasets from principled land cover surveys offer a scalable alternative to manual annotation for training such models. However, their sparse spatial coverage often leads to fragmented and noisy predictions when used with existing deep learning-based land cover mapping approaches. A promising direction to address this issue is object-based classification…

What to do once you admit that decentralizing everything never seems to work | HackerNoon
Lots of tech projects these days, especially crypto-networks, aspire to decentralization. Or their evangelists say they do, because they feel they need to. Decentralization is the new disruption—the thing everything worth its salt (and a huge ICO) is supposed to be doing. Meanwhile, Internet progenitors like Vint Cerf, Brewster Kahle, and Tim Berners-Lee are trying to re-decentralize the Web. They respond to the rise…

Faster practical modular inversion
Last year, Lemire wrote about an optimized variation of the Euclidean algorithm for computing the greatest common divisor of two numbers, called binary Euclidean algorithm or Stein’s algorithm. It’s a best-of-class implementation, though it’s currently only used by libc++. The post also briefly mentions the extended Euclidean algorithm, a related algorithm most often used to compute the modular multiplicative inverse (given a remainder a and a modulus m , find x such that a ⋅ x mod m = …
