Welcome
Welcome to my web page! Nice to see you here. You have just arrived to one of the most exciting places on the internet. Here you can find out about my (and hopefully also your) interests that include:
- Artificial Intelligence
- My special interests are in hybrid intelligent systems with neural networks and rule extractions for regression problems and their applications in technology, medicine and finances. The web page of our research group will soon be ready here
- My old special interests were in visualization of multidimensional spaces (how to see the impossible) and in artificial neural networks including visualization of the multidimensional MLP error surface.
- Another interesting topic is how to computationally model such phenomena as human passion and creativity, which is definitely more difficult than to model human memory and logical reasoning.
- Brain and Natural Intelligence
- To understand how the brains works we must build a model of it as a computer program. Many such approaches, have been taken and some are quite successful, in spite that they explain only chosen aspects of the brain activity.
- Using the brain more effectively just simply contains the following steps:
- Defining the main goal
- Using proper time management techniques and giving priority to the non-urgent and important tasks leading to the main goal
- Using the best of the bunch of learning techniques when appropriate
- Promoting the ideas by networking and "marketing"
- Creativity is more complex as well to use in practice as to create a computational model; in general I like the saying "Enter through the narrow gate".
- .NET and related technologies
- Of course I must implement somehow all the IA methods. C# is my language of choice. I think it's more mature than java (I only think so, I'm not sure, so you don't have to agree). I also use it for developing commercial systems.
- People say Microsoft makes lots of mistakes both in code and in policy. That's true, but only that one who does nothing doesn't make any mistakes. But I thing that the total balance of Microsoft's activity is positive (I only think so, I'm not sure, so you don't have to agree).
- Ecology and Traveling by Bike
- Ecology in my understanding comprises all activities that help extend the life on our planet beyond the current generation.
- I don't own a car, instead I commute and travel around the world by bike, because:
- I like it very much
- In this way I don't get stuck in traffic jams
- Bikes commuters are much healthier and on average live three years longer
- That reduces air and noise pollution
- And finally that saves me money on gasoline, vehicle maintenance, parking fees and parking tickets
- More
- To find out more just explore my web page.
News
- I'm going to organize a bicycle expedition to Chile and Argentina (From Santiago de Chile to Tierra del Fuego) in January-February 2013. I'm looking for other cyclists willing to join. Exact dates and routes are still to be discussed.
