Sean bienvenidos japonistaarqueológicos, a una nueva actualidad del país del sol naciente. En este caso os comentaré que se han actualizado los datos del número de islas del archipiélago Japonés, dicho esto pónganse cómodos que empezamos. - La información viene de la agencia Geoespacial de Japón, el número de islas son de 14125 en todo el país, más del doble del número anunciado hasta ahora, en 1987 el cálculo era de 6852 islas. - El número de islas en cada prefectura Nagasaki 1479 Hokkaido 1473 Kagoshima 1256 Iwate 861 Okinawa 691. - ¿Qué opinan al respecto? Espero que tengan una buena semana y nos vemos en próximas publicaciones de Japón - 日出づる国から新しいニュースへようこそ。今回は、日本列島の島の数が更新されたことをお伝えします。 - 国土地理院からの情報ですが、日本全国の島の数は14125で、今まで発表されていた数（1987年は6852島）の2倍以上になっています。 - 各都道府県の島嶼数長崎県 1479 北海道 1473 鹿児島県 1256 岩手県 861 沖縄県 691 - いかがでしょうか？今週も良い一週間をお過ごしください。また、今後の日本からの投稿でお会いしましょう。 - Welcome to a new update from the land of the rising sun. In this case I will tell you that we have updated the data on the number of islands in the Japanese archipelago, so make yourselves comfortable and let's get started. - The information comes from the Geospatial agency of Japan, the number of islands is 14125 in the whole country, more than double the number announced until now, in 1987 the estimate was 6852 islands. - The number of islands in each prefecture Nagasaki 1479 Hokkaido 1473 Kagoshima 1256 Iwate 861 Okinawa 691. - What do you think about it? I hope you have a good week and see you in future posts from Japan.

PXmart, Carrefour, and Simple Mart are the major supermarket chains in Taiwan that are commonly seen in cities. However, the strategy of these brands is very different. PXmart has the most locations and can be found in rural areas. Carrefour stores were mostly found in city centers, whereas Simple Mart was mostly on the periphery.

Printing a landscape model

So, the workflow is to download a DEM from Earth Explorer (USGS website), and then import this into QGIS where it will be used to create a 3D model.

Create a profile on earthexplorer.usgs.gov

Then select your area using the search criteria

Then select the srtm 1 Arc-second Global dataset

go to results and click the foot button beside your results, and if the areas look good, click the button with the green arrow point down (download), then download the GeoTIFF file, and leave the others.

Download and install QGIS

go to the plugins tab, click manage and install and then in the dialog box, search 3d printing, and install the dem to 3d plugin

drag and drop tiff or tiffs over qgis when open so it looks like this

click on raster tab,the DEMto3D in dropdown to open plugin

in layer to print, use drop down to select layer

in print extent select the middle one to print that area, or the right one to drag over an area

in "Print Extent"options, set spacing to min recommended, set width to a given width (this will set length, leave ratio), dw about scale, experiment with vertical exaggeration

set Model Height to 0 and set the base height to w/e you feel like, then click export to stl, should make an stl layer and it should look like below

My model for printing looked like this afterwards

The locations we will be visiting, just a quick and lazy layout I made in QGIS. I'll make a better one later in the week, but since we're visiting our first pancake house tomorrow I wanted to have a map up.

The full list of the fourteen locations is:

Another Broken Egg Café

Astronomical Pancake House

Capitol Pancake House

Colonial Pancake House

First Watch

Five Forks Cafe

Honey Butter's Kitchen

Mama Steve's House of Pancakes

Not Another Pancake House

Shorty's Diner

Southern Pancake & Waffle House

The Bake Shop

The Smokey Griddle Pancake House

Tipsy Beans Café

Wikipedia defines pancake house as "A pancake house, pancake and waffle house or waffle house is a restaurant that specializes in breakfast items such as pancakes, waffles, and omelettes, among other items."

Some stops on this "tour" may not be considered a pancake house by some, but the restaurants selected all fit this definition in some way.

Meta-learning to find every needle in every haystack - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/meta-learning-to-find-every-needle-in-every-haystack-technology-org/

Meta-learning to find every needle in every haystack - Technology Org

The quest to efficiently identify regions of interest in geospatial exploration has recently taken a leap forward with visual active search (VAS). This modeling framework uses visual cues to guide exploration with potential applications ranging from wildlife poaching detection to search-and-rescue missions to identifying illegal trafficking activities.

A new framework for visual active search developed by McKelvey engineers leverages reinforcement learning to improve search performance. An adaptive search approach initially makes a mistake but quickly adapts by learning from it. Image credit: Anindya Sarkar

A new approach to VAS developed at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis combines deep reinforcement learning, where a computer can learn to make better decisions through trial and error, with traditional active search, where human searchers go out and verify what’s in a selected region. The team that developed the novel VAS framework includes Yevgeniy Vorobeychik and Nathan Jacobs, computer science and engineering professors, and Anindya Sarkar, a doctoral student in Vorobeychik’s lab. The team presented its work at the New Orleans Neural Information Processing Systems conference.

“VAS improves on traditional active search more or less depending on search task,” Jacobs said. “If a task is relatively easy, then improvements are modest. But if an object is very rare — for example, an endangered species that we want to locate for wildlife conservation — then VAS offers substantial improvements. Notably, this isn’t about finding things faster. It’s about finding as many things as possible given limited resources, especially limited human resources.”

The team’s VAS framework improves on previous methods by breaking down the search into two distinct modules. The framework first uses a prediction module to produce regions of interest based on geospatial image data and search history. Then a search module takes the resulting prediction map as an input and outputs a search plan. Each module can be updated as human explorers return results from physical searches in real time.

“Instead of an end-to-end search policy, decomposing into two modules allows us to be much more adaptable,” Sarkar said. “We can update our prediction module with the search results during the actual search. Then the search module can learn the dynamics of the prediction module — how it’s changing across search steps — and adapt. In this meta-learning strategy, the search module is basically learning how to search. It’s also human interpretable, so if the model isn’t working properly, the user can check it and debug as needed.”

The major strength of the framework comes from its ongoing incorporation of two deployment levels: the computational model predicts where to search, then humans go out into the world to search. The human component is vastly more expensive in terms of time and other resources required to explore large geospatial areas, so it makes sense to adapt and optimize the computer-generated search plan for a maximally efficient search.

Adaptability in the computer model is especially important when the object sought varies drastically from the objects the model is trained on. Experimental results showed marked improvement by Sarkar, Vorobeychik and Jacobs’ proposed VAS framework over existing methods in various visual active search tasks.
