<strong>A Variation of the Four Fours Problem</strong><br>

I found a question on Mathstodon the other day, posed by David
Radcliffe. Using the numbers 4, 4, 4, 4, 1, 1 and only
the basic arithmetic operators, obtain the number 42.
It seemed deceptively simple, and so I attempted to solve it. Spoiler
alert: it wasn't. So either I misunderstood what
tools were available to me (as in, could I have used other operators) or
I'm being incredibly myopic and just looking
past an obvious answer. I work out a couple of approaches in this talk
before giving up.

<strong>Seam Carving. Part 2: Energy Function</strong><br>

Reading and implementing the Seam Carving paper. In this video, I write
the energy function and test it on a bunch of
diverse images. I also explain the energy function and the formal
definition of a seam. A seam is a path of pixels that is removed from
the image. The energy function is a function that assigns a value to
each pixel in the image. The value is a measure of how important the
pixel is to the image. The seam is the path of pixels with the lowest
energy. The seam is removed from the image and the image is resized.
This video is also a code walkthrough of how to read the paper and
translate it into code.

Reading and implementing the Seam Carving paper. In this video, I go
through the seam carving paper while explaining
what I'm taking away. I try to understand the contributions of the paper
and what we need to implement. I also talk about the ideas I have for
implementing the algorithm based on directions from the paper.

<strong>Traffic event description based on Twitter data using Unsupervised

Methods for Indian road conditions</strong><br>

Non-recurrent and unpredictable traffic events directly influence road
traffic conditions. There is a need for dynamic monitoring and
prediction of these unpredictable events to improve road network
management. The problem with the existing traditional methods (flow or
speed studies) is that the coverage of many Indian roads is very sparse
and reproducible methods to identify and describe the events are
not available. Addition of some other form of data is essential to help
with this problem. This could be real-time speed monitoring data like
Google Maps, Waze, etc. or social data like Twitter, Facebook, etc. In
this paper, an unsupervised learning model is used to perform effective
tweet classification for enhancing Indian traffic data. The model uses
word-embeddings to calculate semantic similarity and achieves a test
score of 94.7%.

<strong>Lecture: Binary Search Trees</strong><br>
IIT Roorkee 2019 <br>

<div id="abs19"
style="width: 675px; display: none; background-color: #fdf6e3; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-word; padding: 10px;">
Lecture notes for a lecture I gave at IIT Roorkee on Binary Search
Trees. After motivating the need for the data structure using a runway
reservation system problem, I introduce tree terminology and the basic
operations on a binary search tree. Also discussed are the ordering
invariant and rounding-up with minor algorithms and runtime
technicalities.
