Fiber Assignment in Next-generation Wide-field Spectrographs
, 2011 We present an optimized algorithm for assigning fibers to targets in next-generation fiber-fed multi-object spectrographs. The method, that we named draining algorithm, ensures that the maximum number of targets in a given target field is observed in the

Representation Learning by Learning to Count
, 2017 We introduce a novel method for representation learning that uses an artificial supervision signal based on counting visual primitives. This supervision signal is obtained from an equivariance relation, which does not require any manual annotation.

A metaheuristic approach to optimal morphology in reconfigurable tiling robots
Complex & Intelligent Systems, 2023 AbstractReconfigurable robots are suitable for cleaning applications due to their high flexibility and ability to change shape according to environmental needs. However, continuous change in morphology is not an energy-efficient approach, with the limited battery capacity.

Who witnesses The Witness? Finding witnesses in The Witness is hard and sometimes impossible
, 2019 We analyze the computational complexity of the many types of pencil-and-paper-style puzzles featured in the 2016 puzzle video game The Witness. In all puzzles, the goal is to draw a simple path in a rectangular grid graph from a start vertex to a ...

Separation-Sensitive Collision Detection for Convex Objects [PDF]
, 1998 We develop a class of new kinetic data structures for collision detection between moving convex polytopes; the performance of these structures is sensitive to the separation of the polytopes during their motion. For two convex polygons in the plane, let $
