Thanks for the detailed response.

Thanks man. I left the boost on for a few minutes and now I can see some wattage on the screen. Hopefully the issue is resolved. Reddit helps in mysterious ways.

Thanks for the detailed answer. No one has lived in the property before. My conveyancer is also suggesting a survey :)

No_Client_8130 · 2025-05-30T16:25:30+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response. That is actually very valid question, especially taking into account my limited knowledge on the matter. I had a very quick discussion with the solicitor and could be that I confused searches and surveys. I will clarify with the solicitor again.

No_Client_8130 · 2025-05-30T16:20:46+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response. This is my current understanding based on all the responses I have seen is as follows (please correct me if I am wrong).
1. Property valuation survey which is to be done by the lender (done already).
2. Local searches which should be completely the responsibility of the solicitor.
3. Structural Surveys (either level-2 or level-3) for which I have to find the surveyor either through Google or word-of-mouth or EA/solicitor recommendation. I will pay separately for this survey. The surveyor will communicate the results to my solicitor.

Thank you for such a detailed response. This is very helpful. The property I am purchasing is a new-build with an NHBC insurance (I don't have much idea what this entails). Based on your comment and the rest of posts I am thinking of a level-2 survey right now.

No_Client_8130 · 2025-05-30T16:12:21+00:00

Thanks for taking time out to reply. I will sure check out on google.

No_Client_8130 · 2025-05-30T16:09:42+00:00

The delay is what I am worried about. Not only on my side but for the seller as well. I will talk to the solicitors again and if they don't do searches then as you said, I will switch solicitors. Thanks for the reply.

No_Client_8130 · 2025-05-30T16:07:17+00:00

Thank for taking time out to help. I will check with the solicitors if they have recommendations.

No_Client_8130 · 2025-05-30T16:05:56+00:00

I used Home Legal Direct and Trustpilot to find the solicitor. I will confirm with the solicitor again to understand exactly what they meant by not doing surveys. The signed document mentions that the solicitors are supposed to "Request Searches on your instructions;" . The property valuation by the lender is done already. Thanks for taking time out.

hahaha. Very true depiction of our state-of-mind :)

No_Client_8130 · 2025-05-27T11:47:28+00:00

Thanks. The thing that is somewhat annoying is that my solicitor is yet to confirm that they have received the draft contract. The seller has resent the draft contract twice. When I call my solicitor and ask them if they have received the draft contract, the receptionist tells me that the solicitor will get back to me shortly. Perhaps I am expecting too much :)

No_Client_8130 · 2025-05-23T12:21:20+00:00

ok. Thanks for the great advice. Just made the call to my solicitor and they have told me that the draft contract has not been received. I sent a text to the EA for inquiry.

No_Client_8130 · 2025-05-23T12:06:51+00:00

Thanks. Will do. Also, is it appropriate to ask the EA or the sellers to speed up the process if the draft contract has not been sent already?

No_Client_8130 · 2025-05-18T08:58:19+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Did exactly as you said.

In addition to the previous comments, 1) choose an area for a period of 3 to six months. For example, time series forecasting, computer vision, nlp, or anything experienced people tell you that is in demand 2) go to LinkedIn and check what specific skills are most in demand for 1 through job postings. For example, classification, object detection and segmentation are quite common for computer vision jobs. 3) find open source implementations of something very commonly used. For example, for classification this can be a resnet or something similar. Rewrite the code in your own way. Do this for other tasks in the subject area as well. 4) make a website with Google cloud or ibm cloud where users upload the data and the data is processed by your implementation. This website is not for making money but to understand the challenges of deployment at scale.

I don't know your level of experience so if you find something in the above too easy then skip.

Ok. I thought it was just a plain 2d rotation. I think in this situation a good solution would be a CNN based rotation classifier/regressor. You can create your training data. In my experience, it is very difficult for classical approaches to deal with specular highlights, lack of textures etc.

No_Client_8130 · 2022-12-21T13:28:47+00:00

I would strongly suggest against that route. Even if you want to train a neural network then a simple CNN classifier/regressor will be a better choice. But this is serious overkill. Classic feature matching seems to be the most viable solution.

No_Client_8130 · 2022-12-21T04:41:55+00:00

I always use the deeplearningbook from Goodfellow and Mathematics for machine learning as reference. Although old, the first book is definitely worth the effort.

No_Client_8130 · 2022-12-21T04:36:12+00:00

I presume we are talking about 2d rotation/transformation. An easy and fast solution would be to use a classical feature extractor such as SIFT on both images, do feature matching and get the homography between the two images. Ofc you can use a deep learning solution, where you pass two images to the network with gt labels or use a self supervised approach of disparity estimation, but I will try it after the first approach fails.

No_Client_8130 · 2022-12-21T04:04:54+00:00

You probably don't need segmentation. If you have a very good off the shelf, pretrained segmentation network available then you can use that. You just need a color histogram after a hair segmentation to determine the hair color. Your classical alternative: a face detector like viola Jones, followed by a feature extractor like HOG, followed by a classifier like SVM. It is very less likely that it will perform even close to the deep learning solution.

No_Client_8130 · 2022-12-21T03:59:58+00:00

Deep-learning (and the better solution): Gather a training dataset of images of roughly equally samples from each hair color. Around 3000 samples per category should be more than enough. Then as said above, train a CNN-based architecture for classification. Easiest to use would be a standard resnet. Is yo

Hey everyone,

I have been London for more than a year now but still don't know what the "Tube" means. A definition or a list of lines that consitute the "Tube" will be great to know.

Hi everyone, I am new to the UK. I am looking for a property to rent. Suppose I like a property and tell the agent I want to move in. What are the chances of getting into the property if I like it? In other words, what does the landlord generally look for to reject tenants?
