A minimal surface is the surface of minimal area between any given boundaries. In nature such shapes result from an equilibrium of homogeneous tension, e.g. in a soap film. Minimal surfaces have a constant mean curvature of zero, i.e. the sum of the principal curvatures at each point is zero. Particularly fascinating are minimal surfaces…
The program focused on the following four themes:
- Optimization: How and why can deep models be fit to observed (training) data?
- Generalization: Why do these trained models work well on similar but unobserved (test) data?
- Robustness: How can we analyze and improve the performance of these models when applied outside their intended conditions?
- Generative methods: How can deep learning be used to model probability distributions?
In this article we present a technique to triangulate source images, converting them to abstract, someway artistic images composed of tiles of triangles. This will be an attempt to explore the fields between computer technology and art.

Overview Threads and locks are a software-defined formalization of the hardware underneath, and as such comprise the simplest possible concurrency model. It forms the basis of other concurrency abstractions built on top of it, so it’s important to understand in this regards. However, it’s difficult or impossible to build reliable, scalable systems directly on these primitives. While most every language has support for threads and locks, CPython remains special in its use of a global interpreter lock that prevents threads from concurrently accessing shared memory, because CPython’s memory management is not thread-safe.
A pair of mathematicians has built on an obscure, 30-year-old mathematical theory to show that soap-filmlike minimal surfaces appear abundantly in a wide range
