The unsupervised inference problem for seven pairwise correlated recognizers is solvable
It takes 127 variables to describe the space of all possible pair wise correlations between 7 recognizers. This is equal to the number of label voting patterns $L^R – 1 = 2^7 – 1 = 127$. Conjecture: the problem is solvable.
Mathematica syntax highlighter test
Testing the syntax highlighter with Mathematica code,
[mathematica]
(* Using algebra to prove geometry theorems *)
LinesAreParallel[{a:point,b:point},{c:point,d:point}] :=
Simplify[
(a[[1]] – b[[1]])(c[[2]] – d[[2]]) -
(a[[2]] – b[[2]])(c[[1]] – d[[1]])
]
[/mathematica]
Testing new code syntaxhighlighter
A new code syntax highlighter has been installed
#! /usr/bin/env python
if __name__ == '__main__':
print "I am highlighted"
Under Construction
I’m teaching myself HTML5 to create a WordPress theme that is friendly to mathematics and using illustrations like plots and maps as part of a blog entry. I’ve started with the WordPress theme framework Toolbox. As you can see, the sight is very plain now.
My first task is to fix the broken math equations that you can see below (the ones enclosed by dollar sign symbols). These are magically turned into mathematical equations by Mathjax. I then plan to try out different fonts starting with Cambria Math.
