Humans are tribal animals, and a recurring failure to grasp this truth has contributed to some of the worst debacles of U.S. foreign policy in the past 50 years.
One of the hardest concepts to grasp when learning about Convolutional Neural Networks for object detection is the idea of anchor boxes. It is also one of the most important parameters you can tune…
In this blog post we will cover some of the basics of the Barnes Hut algorithm. This is completely new to me, it is not an algorithm I’ve used/studied before (and I am by no means an astrophysicist). Nonetheless it has piqued my interest so I have decided to write about it. In this blog I will be talking about 2 dimensions unless otherwise stated, this just makes the resulting code run a little quicker and output easier to visualise. Modifying the 2d code to be 3d (or even higher dimension) requires only minor revisions.
