An overview of our paper is featured in this month's ISE magazine - read how we developed and enhanced models for robust regression. "When linear regression is insufficient, use (fast) piecewise linear regression!"

Two papers are featured in the July 2023 ISE Magazine, which are co-authored, respectively, by Gang Li and Yu Amy Xia; and John Alasdair Warwicker and Steffen Rebennack, respectively.

It was previously thought that children younger than 7 couldn't find efficient solutions to complex problems, but new research suggests that much earlier, children can happen upon known sorting algorithms used by computer scientists newscientist.com/article/249820…


Completed my first week as an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) in Computer Science at Lancaster University Leipzig! Looking forward to some great research (and teaching) at this amazing campus.

Incredible stuff--they wanted to make the thing seem more sophisticated than it is so they threw in two Greek letters but selected values that cancel out so it's still just trade deficit divided by imports.

Happy #PiDay2025 How I wish I could enumerate pi easily, since all these nonsense mnemonics prevent recalling any of pi's sequence more simply.

This graph shows the dimension 'n' (x-axis) vs. volume (y-axis) of a uniform n-ball of radius r (r=0.9,1,1.1). What's the intuition for the volume tending towards 0 as the dimension increases?
