First, I’d like to apologize for the long time I wasn’t blogging anything. I was working on my M.Sc. Thesis which is now finished. Btw.: we used of005 for the visualization part of a fancy machine learning experiment. Perhaps you are interested in it. The doc is online here.
However, the actual reason why I type [...]
