Variational Image Matching

The aforementioned report is now ready for your immediate consumption. A single slide on my Fluid Match has been expanded to a whole section. Took me a little longer than I thought it would, but this is behind me now. I think I’ve more or less achieved what I set in front of me eight months back.

I could have talked about the implementation for a massively parallel supercomputer, but I was already pushing the page limits.

Keywords: optimization, variational, registration, diffeomorphisms, fluid-match, statistical tests, Alzheimer’s.

Amazing set of screenshots from the palantir blog.

Palantir is building an enterprise platform for analysis of financial and intelligence data. Analysts at government agencies across investigative and intelligence realms are experiencing tremendous analytical challenges managing the tidal wave of information that flows across their desks and throughout their knowledge networks. Palantir Government provides a new way of exploring, understanding, and sharing these large sets of structured and unstructured information across departmental and organizational lines. Similarly, Palantir Financial is a powerful new analytical platform for approaching and understanding financial markets. For decades, traders and economists have struggled with conventional financial and statistical software to explore the financial world. With Palantir, analysts directly explore and manipulate dynamic financial concepts. Properties and connections amongst a vast array of time series, time periods, macroeconomic trends and events, and exotic hedge fund strategies can be discovered, published and shared, unlocking organizational knowledge.

I must be on a roll here. For the last few days, I’ve been spitting out about 500 words of coherent, easy to understand text for my coop report. I’ve never enjoyed writing technical documents so much before.

Everytime I intend to write a report, I always start with the LaTeX template that I made. This time, I decided to push the limits of what LaTeX has to offer.

I’ve included some pictures from my half-baked document. Includes pictures of Table of Contents, PDF indexes, Table of Notation, Glossary, and References. All of them cross-referenced and hyper-linked automatically. Click on the images for higher resolution. Resolution is not meant to be able to read the text, it’s still a bunch of FIXMEs.
