Symbolic Mathematics Finally Yields to Neural Networks

I read the article “Symbolic Mathematics Finally Yields to Neural Networks” on Quanta Magazine [web] which talks about a paper by a group of researchers from Facebook which uses Neural Networks to analytically solve integration and partial differential equations. The paper uses RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) to represent the equations and then sequence to sequence learning to solve the equations.

“Rare” 60s cars built in Argentina

This article that appeared in Clarin talks about the ‘strange cars’ which where built in Argentina in the 60s [web]. Some pictures follos:

Jeremy Mann - Sketchbooks,oil paintings, photography and film

I’m watching the “The Sketchbook Series” in the Trojan Horse Was a Unicorn YouTube channel and came across a new artist I didn’t know: Jeremy Mann. He is a very prolific and varied artist who explores in photography, drawing, painting and recently film. One interesting hobby mentioned in the video is that he tears appart old camaras and combines them with polaroid film to create a very interesting hybrid photgraphy. Here is some of his artwork and several links to his art.

• The Sketchbook Series - Jeremy Mann - This is his video in [YouTube]
• Jeremy Mann website - His website is very nice with lots of art. [web]
• Jeremy Mann Instagram page - [IG]
• MANN Vol. 1.7 The Sketchbooks - This is a large book which reproduces some of his sketchbooks. I’ll try to buy it at some point. [store page]

• MANN Vol. 1.3 Plein Air - “This 176 page, hardbound, 6 x 9 inch book contains a duplicate of Jeremy Mann’s sketchbook of plein air paintings” [store page]
• Behind the Dark Room - “A fast and informative video describing the paths I’ve taken as an artist to pursue my love of analogue photography and homemade cameras, to illustrate the effects they have played upon my paintings.” [YouTube]
• A Solitary Mann - “Jeremy Mann’s world is a place where pain, desire and lust combine to project the realest parts of the human spirit.” [YouTube]
• The Sketchbook Series - This is a very well filmed series which showcases artists. Here’s a link to the playlist. YouTube
