http://blog.pixeltje.be Thoughts on image processing, reproducible research, and science in general Sat, 27 Jun 2009 21:03:50 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Some more interesting reading: K. Price, Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better (No You Can't)..., Computer Vision, Graphics, and Image Processing, Vol. 36, pp. 387-391, 1986, doi:10.1016/0734-189X(86)90083-6. Abstract: Computer vision suffers from an overload of written information but a dearth of good evaluations and comparisons. This paper discusses why some ... http://blog.pixeltje.be/2009/06/anything-you-can-do-i-can-do-better-no-you-cant/ I just read the following paper: A. J. Rossini and F. Leisch, Literate statistical practice, UW Biostatistics Working Paper Series 194, University of Washington, WA, USA, 2003. Although I am not a statistician, this was a very interesting paper to me. It gives a nice description of a possible literate programming approach ... http://blog.pixeltje.be/2009/06/literate-statistical-practice/ I just read the article about Netflix' Million Dollar Programming Prize on IEEE Spectrum. Robert M. Bell, Jim Bennett, Yehuda Koren, and Chris Volinsky, The Million Dollar Programming Prize, IEEE Spectrum Online, http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/may09/8788. Interesting article, showing again how contests proposing a challenge can inspire a lot of great work, and allow ... http://blog.pixeltje.be/2009/05/challenges-and-prizes/ I am glad to let you know that our paper has been published in the latest issue of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine: P. Vandewalle, J. Kovacevic and M. Vetterli, Reproducible Research in Signal Processing - What, why, and how, IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, Vol. 26, Nr. 3, pp. 37-47, 2009, DOI: ... http://blog.pixeltje.be/2009/04/reproducible-research-in-signal-processing-what-why-and-how/ Last month, a few former colleagues at LCAV did some cross-testing of the reproducible research compendia available at rr.epfl.ch. And I must say, from the results I have seen so far, it is quite a sobering experience. Many of those which I considered to be definitely reproducible didn't pass the ... http://blog.pixeltje.be/2009/04/a-sobering-experience/ I am glad to announce you our new website on reproducible research: www.reproducibleresearch.net. Yes, as I already discussed before, various sites on this topic recently (or less recently) popped up. However, I still think this site can add something extra to the existing sites. First of all, it is mainly ... http://blog.pixeltje.be/2009/03/reproducibleresearchnet/ The current issue of Computing in Science and Engineering (CiSE) is a special issue on reproducible research, edited by two pioneers in the field: Jon Claerbout and Sergey Fomel. They have assembled a great set of articles from experts with a lot of first-hand, personal reproducible research experience, so I ... http://blog.pixeltje.be/2009/01/cise/ I got a pointer earlier this week to a New York Times article about R. A very interesting article about the use of R in scientific communities and industrial research, mainly for statistical analysis. R is open source software, so it is free and has already taken advantage from contributions ... http://blog.pixeltje.be/2009/01/new-york-times-about-r/ I seem to be dwelling quite some time on the web lately... After my post about the lifetime of URLs, here's one about domain names and reproducibility. I recently noticed when looking around that there are quite some websites and domain names related to reproducible research. reproducibleresearch.org is an overview website ... http://blog.pixeltje.be/2009/01/domain-names/ Let me in my turn wish you all the best for 2009! I wish you a beautiful, entirely non-reproducible year with lots of great experiences! 2008 was the year in which this site got started, and to be honest, I am quite happy with the frequency at which I managed to ... http://blog.pixeltje.be/2009/01/2009/
