This is SHAMEFUL

A friend sent me this and it kept me laughing for smtime.



So.. Malaysia... yea well... ┐(´-｀)┌

Google -- Image recognition

Image recognition has been the research of interest in the field of AI since long ago. and surprisingly,a minute ago I've only found out that Google has actually came out with this application, images.google.com.



Incredibly user friendly, where we only need to drag and drop the image of interest to the search box and it will automatically google for you.



and here's the output, at which the image is successfully found, provided the link of the exact image in the WWW.



But what happen if a random image is fed?





From the obtained results, my first visual conceptual conclusion is that the searching algorithm considers only the colors of the image. So to prove me wrong, another simpler image is tested.

and to my surprise, this is the outcome when the star is fed. It manage to find Australia where the national flag contains the six-pointed star.



Thus, Shape is also being taken care of in the algorithm. So what else...

Object's texture??

Yea, may try that out, but not now :D

Anyway, certainly am very impressed with GOOGLE.

Twillight

Finally watched Twilight :D Just couldn't stop smiling whenever Edward came into the scene at the beginning, simply gorgeous!! He portrayed the character so well.

Cullen Family

But too bad the laptop ran out of batt exactly at the page I bookmarked. No choice but to off the movie and got back to the book again.

1 thing I can conclude, books are ALWAYS better than the movies, with no exception so far.

Guppy and Beta Competation 2011

Went to International Guppy and Beta Competition last weekend in Gurney Plaza.







The guppy were so-so, that's why didn't any pic of it.

Didn't manage to go to 'Battle of the chefs' in Straits Quay also, becoz by the time we'd done the shopping and etc, it's already 10pm.

p/s: and went to the non-chocolate-at-all chocolate fair in PISA. It's a disappointment where I only saw 1 booth with chocolate products. It's jz a normal not-up2par food fair afterall..

New Words

Came across this not long ago, that Oxford dictionary has added some new "words".

Can't imagine how many symbols and abbreviations will it be in our daily reading material in the future.

But i guess it's certainly making the students happy. e.g.:

Title: Your best friend

"I ♥ Amy because she's my BFF. OMG! she's so funny and never fail to make me LOL! Sometimes I just can't help and ROFLOL!"

Wondering when will "WTF" and "knn" be added in..
