Research Entry:Prologue

Monday, January 7th, 2008

  Electrical Brain Signals are interesting. So does the hyper complex algebra, hyperion and octarion algebra. Filters are cool, FIR and IIR is only the tip of the iceberg. You will have Blind Filtering techniques, Moving Averages, Auto Regressive, NARMAX(Non-linear version) and not forgetting the Kalman methods of fusion. Oh yeah, do not forget about Neural Network. Neural Network are awesome, with different activation functions(sigmoid regularly) comes different results. We can use Neural Network for lots of reasons:filtering, predicting and smoothing. And of course, there are recurrent and non-recurrent.JDI architecture is great. And then comes all the equations. Guess life is about to get interesting for me. Recommendation for all those Filters hustler; Adaptive Filter Theory by Simon Haykin. Not forgetting Recurrent Neural Network for Prediction by Danilo Mandic. Ahh, just like old times..
   Wow, this is an interesting post. Am I turning my blog into a mini research journal? Perhaps. Yeah, I know, it’s absurd right? It’s like Will Smith joining Scientology..totally absurd. Wait a minute…

New Year, happy yet?

Friday, January 4th, 2008

   New Year is upon us, once again. And yet, the anxiety kept creeping up on me. There is no way you can outrun the past. The past will keep coming back to haunt you. Again and again, every single night. The valiant effort of coming to terms with the past is not for naught. We wouldn’t know where we are going, until we know where we have been. Do not let your intricate past ruined your lucrative future. And that’s how it’s going to be.
   All right, that sounds depressing. Man, I’ve never been this bummed. The bummest I’ve been is when Godfather 3 ended. Man, what a lousy end to the greatest story ever told. Mario Puzo should be rolling in his grave now. Wait, Mario Puzo is still alive? Or is he?
   Alvin and the Chipmunks? Garfield Deja-vu, and it sucks.
   National Treasure 2? It still sucks thanks to Nicholas Cage who has scarred me for life with his portrayal of Johnny Blaze in Ghost Rider.
   AVP2? Sucks, but better than the first though. Predator Alien Hybrid? Rigghhtt.. And by the way, Predator has cool logs.
  I am Legend? I liked it. Engrave Will Smith’s name in anything, and it will turn out into a blockbuster.  4/5
  Yeah, yeah, I am freaking lazy these couple of days. I am going to go back to my OC now. Season 4 is waiting, oh yeah. Volchok is such a bastard.
