Earthquake prediction has long been the holy grail for seismologists around the world. The various factors affecting earthquakes are far from being understood, and there exist no known correlations between largescale earthquake activity and periodic geological events. Nonetheless, we hope that machine learning will give us greater insight into the patterns underlying earthquake activity, even i...

3D reconstructions allow cultural institutions such as museums and historic sites a tool to vividly illustrate the past while educating the public about competing interpretations of history and change over time. 3D technology also offers many practical benefits including low cost, flexibility, and the potential for collaboration. This paper presents potential applications of 3D reconstructions ...

Unsupervised machine learning techniques are described and applied on the mildly preprocessed Arabic text of the Holy Qur’an, with promising results. Topic modelling based on nonnegative matrix factorization was used to successfully extract meaningful topics underlying the set of 6236 verses in the corpus. Data visualization using t-SNE dimensionality reduction correctly grouped verses of the H...

Real-time conversion tracking is the holy grail of TV advertisers. We show how to use thousands of tiny areas available via commercial cable and satellite systems to create low cost tracking cells. These areas are created as “mirrors” of a national campaign, and run in parallel with it. With properly controlled areas, it is possible to calculate national effects due to TV using statistical meth...
