Over the fast few years I have invested great amounts of time in learning and using various programming languages. Starting out (around 1995!) in a 4GL called OMNIS (apparently still around) I quickly learned Java (from the Dummies book actually) and PHP. With Java and PHP (around 2003), I had …
Yesterday, the municipality of Amsterdam officially launched its initiative for public, secure Wi-Fi hot spots basic on public roaming. Over the course of 2019 I have (through Dialogic) been involved in this project, first in designing the pilot project, and subsequently in executing it. Even with highly capable 4G mobile …
For the Research and Documentation Centre (WODC) of the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security, I led a project at Dialogic researching possibilities for improving identification on the internet on the basis of IP addresses. When a criminal offence is committed, but the offender is not caught in the act, …
In the previous post, we saw that it is possible to create programs that really only depend on the Linux kernel in order to run. Yet, we still needed some sort of Linux distribution such as Raspbian on our Raspberry Pi to actually start this program. How can we get …
For our Escape Box project, we had to come up with some kind of way to control all the various puzzles – the lights, buttons, servos, displays all need to be controlled somehow. Luckily there are various solutions available: the Arduino, the ESP8266, and the Raspberry Pi are all available …
For Dialogic, I developed a user friendly environment for machine learning. The tools, which are available online through diasli.de, allow users to quickly set up image classifiers, text classifiers as well as generic machine learning models using custom features and outputs. Supported features: Image classification: transfer learn image classifiers using …
In the Netherlands various fiber infrastructures have been deployed over time for various (semi) public applications – many of which are only used by a single organisation. Some of these networks have large amounts of extra capacity. For the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Dialogic conducted a study on these …
Can AI completely replace a teacher? Not in the near future.
In December 2018, a consortium of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Technical University of Munich (TUM), Dialogic Innovatie & Interactie, and several independent experts, was selected by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission to carry out a pilot project for essentiality checks of Standard Essential Patents (SEPs). More and …
Over the holidays I wrote a tiny ray tracer in Rust. A ray tracer is a program that renders a 3D image by simulating the way light travels between light sources and a camera. Advanced versions of ray tracing techniques are used to render 3D movies such as the famous …
