Discover how Markov chains predict real systems, from Ulam and von Neumann’s Monte Carlo to PageRank, so you can grasp ...

Abstract: We propose a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm based on Gibbs sampling with parallel tempering to solve nonlinear optimal control problems. The algorithm is applicable to nonlinear ...

Seriously Silly, written by Robert Ross, brings together decades of interviews and personal accounts to chart the life of Jones, from his rise as a writer, director, and performer to the eroding final ...

Three short talks by UCSB PhD students Roark Chao, Poorva Shukla, and Abdelrahman S. Abdelrahman presenting a wide array of ECE topics from photonics to dynamical systems to quantum algorithms. All ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

This paper presents important new findings about the impact of the TAK-003 vaccine against dengue based on a convincing reanalysis of trial data. The results corroborate those of the original trial ...

Everybody is about algorithmic processes and feed manipulation, but is that really new? What if the algorithm powering your Google search results and the predictive text on your phone originated from ...

Monte-Carlo is smaller than Central Park. Of the 38,000 residents packed in less than one-square-mile, about 32% are millionaires. (There’s no income, capital gain, wealth, or property taxes.) There ...

The idea of due process can be a difficult legal concept for a lot of non-lawyers. But you can get the basic idea from Monty Python's classic movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. You just need to ...

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is widely considered to be among the best comedy films of all time, and it’s certainly one of the most quotable. This absurdist masterpiece sending up Arthurian legend ...
