Towards preserving Digital Culture: An interview with Amy Thomas

It’s important to preserve games so that future generations have access to this art form and can understand the process of creative and technical development that goes into making them. This applies to both the game itself and the mode of playing it, e.g., on the original hardware. As a resear...

Towards Geometric Deep Learning I: On the Shoulders of Giants

The last decade has witnessed an experimental revolution in data science and machine learning, epitomised by deep learning methods. Indeed, many high-dimensional learning tasks previously thought to be beyond reach — computer vision, playing Go, or protein folding — are in fact feasible ...

Driving Towards a Wall, Should You Stop or Turn?

If we use the normal model for the static friction force, then the following would be true. Of course the static friction force is a force of constraint — it has whatever value is needed to prevent the two surfaces from sliding with respect to each other. However, there is a maximum limit t...
