Gel electrophoresis Updated +Created
Technique widely used to measure the size of DNA strands, most often PCR output of a region of interest.
A simple sample application is gel electrophoresis alelle determination.
Generalized coordinate Updated +Created
The variables of the Lagrangian, e.g. the angles of a double pendulum. From that example it is clear that these variables don't need to be simple things like cartesian coordinates or polar coordinates (although these tend to be the overwhelming majority of simple case encountered): any way to describe the system is perfectly valid.
In quantum field theory, those variables are actually fields.

Academic publishing is broken Updated +Created
One of the most beautiful things is how they paywall even public domain works. E.g. here: www.nature.com/articles/119558a0 was published in 1927, and is therefore in the public domain as of 2023. But it is of course just paywalled as usual throughout 2023. There is zero incentive for them to open anything up.

Ackermann function Updated +Created
To get an intuition for it, see the sample computation at: en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ackermann_function&oldid=1170238965#TRS,_based_on_2-ary_function where in this context. From this, we immediately get the intuition that these functions are recursive somehow.

activatedgeek/LeNet-5 use ONNX for inference Updated +Created
Now let's try and use the trained ONNX file for inference on some manually drawn images on GIMP:
Figure 1.
Number 9 drawn with mouse on GIMP by Ciro Santilli (2023)
Note that:
  • the images must be drawn with white on black. If you use black on white, it the accuracy becomes terrible. This is a good very example of brittleness in AI systems!
  • images must be converted to 32x32 for lenet.onnx, as that is what training was done on. The training step converted the 28x28 images to 32x32 as the first thing it does before training even starts
We can try the code adapted from thenewstack.io/tutorial-using-a-pre-trained-onnx-model-for-inferencing/ at lenet/infer.py:
cd lenet
cp ~/git/LeNet-5/lenet.onnx .
wget -O 9.png https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cirosantilli/media/master/Digit_9_hand_drawn_by_Ciro_Santilli_on_GIMP_with_mouse_white_on_black.png
./infer.py 9.png
and it works pretty well! The program outputs:
9
as desired.
We can also try with images directly from Extract MNIST images.
infer_mnist.py lenet.onnx mnist_png/out/testing/1/*.png
and the accuracy is great as expected.
