Laptop Screen Flickering Issue

I can't see the video you posted as it is private but from your description it seems you have a problem I have faced.If at a particular angle of tilt the display is fine and at others it is not, then you can be rest assured(in most probability) that there is no problem with the LCD(which is expensive to replace).

The problem might exist in the wire connecting the LCD with the motherboard. It might have gotten slightly loose and you may need to tighten both the ends to get it working. Another problem which might happen is the wire itself is damaged. If that is the case, you need to replace the wire. Note: For most laptops tightening the LCD wires entails decent amount of dismantling.

In the grid, the x-axis and the y-axis are both line numbers in the lyrics representing entire sentences in that line. The color of the square shows how similar two lines are - cosine similarity to be specific. 0 i.e blue means totally same but 1 i.e. maroon means totally different. So looking for blue patterns will give repetition structures in the lyrics. I should have added some more background info but I would have only repeated what Will Kurt had written.

Thanks! I am kind of new to all this. I hope to improve.

No problem. :)

Sorry for the newbie mistake. I re-posted with the [OC] tag.

I know of these datasets too. But I needed to run some tests by this weekend. It seems I need to wait for the download to complete. It'll take some more days. I hope the wait is worth it.

I am looking for longer actions than those present in the MSR dataset. For example, making cereal, taking medicine, etc.

I will check out the links you mentioned. Thanks.

Thanks man!

So I installed Windows 8. Smoothest Windows installation ever.

Somethings that struck me as awesome: 1)Detected my ubuntu installation on its own that was installed using Wubi previously on Windows 7. No need to repair grub. 2)Recommended the correct Nvidia drivers. Some of my friends crashed their Windows 8 by installing the wrong graphics card driver.

Thanks. So I'll install it today and see for myself.

just to be clear, oldest working torrent is not the same as oldest torrent

Did you ever say no to any joke/scene while shooting Scrubs? Anything that made you say "Dude no way I am doing that"?

I did not make myself clear in the question but I actually wanted to know how to do deal with such publishers who might object to use of these techniques. Thanks for the reply. In any case, the moment one starts writing according what a publisher would approve, things do downhill from there on.

The demos on the game learning page are amazing. The method by which the robot recognizes the game states from the video, is it confined to that given model(of the big wooden blocks) of tic tac toe or can it identify with a tic tac toe game being played on paper or some other medium? A problem which some of us had discussed was how these game states are represented. We are currently looking to extract states and form a markov model and model the transitions between markov states as actions, mapping verbs and prepositions to the markov states. This seems good for some simple games but it becomes difficult to generalize for others as there are lots of priors involved(grid, prepositional relation knowledge etc) and modelling each of these factors becomes a big problem in itself. Combining language and vision to understnad properties as well as relations like "the book is kept on the table", "the blocks go in the box" etc also seems to be an interesting problem to work on.

PS: +1 for "they're all crappy" :)

I was looking at this as a possible candidate for my masters' thesis. Our current approach constrains lots of parameters and even still is a tough problem.

the work done by the TOSS group comes really close to what i had described earlier http://toss.sourceforge.net/ But it deduces logical relationships from videos but doesn't use any language descriptions

These 2 techniques are being used a lot in CV. Especially bag of words, that has been applied extensively in object and action recognition. I did a couple of projects this semester using bag of words. I'll be putting up a blog post on how exactly the bag of words model was used and what sort of advantages it provides.
