The model is devised on the basis of active shape model, but uses centripetal Catmull-Rom spline to join two successive points (active shape model uses simple straight line), so that the total number of points necessary to depict a shape is less. The use of centripetal Catmull-Rom spline makes the training of a shape model much simpler, and it ...
Given a starting position and a search direction , the task of a line search is to determine a step size > that adequately reduces the objective function : (assumed i.e. continuously differentiable), i.e., to find a value of that reduces (+) relative to ().
Polynomial curves fitting points generated with a sine function. The black dotted line is the "true" data, the red line is a first degree polynomial, the green line is second degree, the orange line is third degree and the blue line is fourth degree. The first degree polynomial equation = + is a line with slope a. A line will connect any two ...
In some of these languages an extra keyword is used to declare no return value; for example void in C, C++ and C#. In some languages, such as Python, the difference is whether the body contains a return statement with a value, and a particular callable may return with or without a value based on control flow.
After a function's value is computed for that parameter or set of parameters, the result is stored in a lookup table that is indexed by the values of those parameters; the next time the function is called, the table is consulted to determine whether the result for that combination of parameter values is already available. If so, the stored ...
The path to a trillion-dollar market cap for MicroStrategy is clear: Buy as much Bitcoin as possible.
MicroStrategy shares plummeted more than 16% after short seller Citron Research said it had taken a new bet against the stock, which has gained over 500% this year.Even with Thursday's decline ...
A red arrow originating at a point shows the direction of the negative gradient at that point. Note that the (negative) gradient at a point is orthogonal to the contour line going through that point. We see that gradient descent leads us to the bottom of the bowl, that is, to the point where the value of the function is minimal.
