Please, join the conversations !

Suresh tells us about an unexpected sampling gem: sampling from ℓp balls. while Vladimir let us know that Analog Devices Applies for Image Sensor Patents, yes Analog Devices. It's always CMOS baby.

we also have: 

Bob: Paper of the Day (Po'D): Multi-tasking with joint semantic spaces

Larry: Bootstrapping and Subsampling: Part I and Review of “Antifragile” by Nassim Taleb (a.k.a. Doc Savage)

Dirk: Comparing shapes: From Prokhorov/Wasserstein over Hausdorff to Gromov-Hausdorff metrics

Terry: Matrix identities as derivatives of determinant identities

Danny: Graph Database Resources. Danny also let us know that GraphChi 2.0 is out.

MathBlogging: Mathematical Instruments: John Baez

John: Statistics stories wanted

Franck: Cramer-Rao Lower Bound and Information Geometry

Dan: Aliasing and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

Greg: Deadline extended to 2/1/13, for the IEEE Intl. Symposium on Phased Array Systems and Technology
