Wavelets are mathematical functions. The wavelet transform is a tool that cuts up data, functions or operators into different frequency components and then studies each component with a resolution matched to its scale. It is needed, because analyzing discontinuities and sharp spikes of the signal and applications as image compression, human vision, radar, and earthquake prediction. Wai Mar Lwin | Thinn Aung | Khaing Khaing Wai "Applications of Wavelet Transform" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-3 | Issue-5 , August 2019, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd27958.pdfPaper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/mathemetics/applied-mathematics/27958/applications-of-wavelet-transform/wai-mar-lwin
ABSTRACT: In this paper, we proposed a new identification algorithm based on Kolmogorov–Zurbenko Periodogram (KZP) to separate motions in spatial motion image data. The concept of directional periodogram is utilized to sample the wave field and collect information of motion scales and directions. KZ Periodogram enables us detecting precise dominate frequency information of spatial waves covered by highly background noises. The computation of directional periodogram filters out most of the noise effects, and the procedure is robust for missing and fraud spikes caused by noise and measurement errors. This design is critical for the closure-based clustering method to find cluster structures of potential parameter solutions in the parameter space. An example based on simulation data is given to demonstrate the four steps in the procedure of this method. Related functions are implemented in our recent published R package {kzfs}.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Interpolating evolutionary tracks of rapidly rotating stars - presentation
1. Interpolating Evolutionary Tracks
of Rapidly Rotating Stars
Danielle Kumpulanian
October 20, 2005
Deane Peterson, Stony Brook University
2. Outline
• Introduction
– Background
– Goals
• Accurately interpolate data
• Determine mass of a star
– Evolutionary track grids
• Description of project
– Interpolation method
– Test & results
– Polygon problem
• Conclusion
– Uses for interpolation
method
• References
3. Introduction
• Stellar evolution: lifetime of stars
• Stars live for millions or billions of years
• Cannot observe the entire life cycle of a single
star
• Need to piece together observations of stars of
the same mass, at different ages (different
points along evolutionary track)
4. Introduction
• Can draw predicted evolutionary track for
a star of that mass, based on observations
• Evolutionary tracks are put into “grids”.
• Grids are published for everyone to use.
5. Evolutionary track grid (2D)
log(M/MSun)=0.0500 … t (Age in years) log(L/LSun) … log(Teff) … …
… …
log(M/MSun)=0.0500 … t (Age in years) log(L/LSun) … log(Teff)
log(M/MSun)=0.0750 … t (Age in years) log(L/LSun) … log(Teff) … …
log(M/MSun)=0.0750 … t (Age in years) log(L/LSun) … log(Teff) … …
log(M/MSun)=0.1000 … t (Age in years) log(L/LSun) … log(Teff) … …
log(M/MSun)=0.1000 … t (Age in years) log(L/LSun) … log(Teff) … …
log(M/MSun)=0.1250 … t (Age in years) log(L/LSun) … log(Teff) … …
log(M/MSun)=0.1250 … t (Age in years) log(L/LSun) … log(Teff) … …
8. Evolutionary Tracks
• Luminosity-Radius-Temperature relation:
L = 4πR2σT4
• Use this relation to solve for log(R/RSun):
log(R/RSun) = 0.5{log(L/LSun) – 4[logT – logTSun]}
• Using information from grid, draw
evolutionary tracks on a log(R/RSun) vs.
log(L/LSun) plot.
12. Goals
• Problem: large gap between masses in the
grids…what about models for arbitrary masses?
• Solution: interpolate data for an arbitrary mass
using the existing data in the grids.
13. Goals
• Problem: given observables such as L, Teff, and
R, what is the mass of the star?
• Solution: use interpolation methods and
determine mass or range of possible masses
depending on which segment of the evolutionary
track the point is on.
20. Interpolation Method
• Calculate time ratios for each segment of track:
C1 = (t U
min −t U
0 ) /(t L
min −t L
0 )
C 2 = (t U
max −t U
min ) /(t L
max −t L
min )
C 3 = (t U
f −t U
max ) /(t L
f −t L
max )
21. Interpolation Method
• Find corresponding points on the upper track for
each point on the lower track
• For each time t Li , a point t Ui is found.
• t Ui most likely does not correspond to a t U in
the grid.
•Interpolate values for log(L/LSun) and
log(Teff/Teff Sun) at points on upper track.
•Calculate log(R/RSun) for these points.
22. Interpolation Method
Calculate log(R/RSun) and log(L/LSun) for each
point along the intermediate track:
log( M / M Sun ) L − log(M / M Sun )
wt + =
log(M / M Sun ) L − log( M / M Sun )U
log( M / M Sun ) − log(M / M Sun )U
wt − =
log( M / M Sun ) L − log( M / M Sun )U
x1 = previous log(R/RSun) or log(L/LSun)
interpolated for upper track x = x1 wt + + x 2 wt −
x2 = next log(R/RSun) or log(L/LSun) x1 < x < x 2
interpolated for upper track
23.
24. Test Results
• Interpolated track matched actual track accurate within
~2%.
• Distance between upper and lower tracks: log(M/MSun) =
0.2000.
• Decrease distance → decrease %error.
• In practice, the interpolated model will be between two
existing models, or a smaller distance between the upper
and lower tracks.
26. Point-In-Polygon
• Threshold: horizontal line with y-coordinate of the test point
• Node: point where the threshold crosses an edge
•of the polygon
• Odd number of nodes: Inside
• Even number of nodes: Outside
• Zero nodes: Outside
• It does not matter which way
(left or right) from the test
point nodes are counted,
the result is the same.
27. Point-In-Polygon
Works for polygons that cross themselves:
1 node → odd → inside polygon
Works for polygons with holes or
polygons that overlap themselves:
2 nodes → even → outside polygon
28. Point-In-Polygon
What if the threshold passes through
a vertex of the polygon?
• Only one node can be counted, even though there
are two sides
• Make a rule: If the threshold passes through a vertex,
the point is considered “above” the threshold.
• Each side of the polygon has two endpoints.
• If the threshold passes through the endpoints of two
adjacent sides, only one side will have an endpoint
below the threshold.
•Side a has an endpoint below & an endpoint “on-or-above” the
threshold → count 1 node.
•Side b has both endpoints “on-or-above” → count 0 nodes.
29. Point-In-Polygon
What if one side of the polygon lies
completely along the threshold?
Treat the same as last example:
• Side c has one endpoint below the threshold and one endpoint
“on-or-above” the threshold → count 1 node
• Side d has two endpoints “on-or-above” → count 0 nodes.
• Side e has two endpoints “on-or-above” → count 0 nodes.
• Total nodes: 1 → inside polygon
30. Conclusion
• Method of interpolating models was developed and
tested.
– Accurate to better than ~1%.
• Only a portion of an existing models grid was used
– Can easily be translated to use more of this grid or a different
models grid
• Tracks can be divided into three sections, and three
polygons can be drawn with vertices at the endpoints of
these sections.
– Polygons can be used to determine if a single mass or a range
of possible masses can be found.
– Use Point-In-Polygon algorithm to determine which polygon the
point is in.
31. Conclusion
• After obtaining log(L/LSun) and log(R/RSun) through
observation, remaining properties can be
deduced.
• Evolutionary track can be drawn.
• log(L/LSun) and log(R/RSun) are independent of
rotation.
• Can study star’s evolutionary state and how its
rotation affects its evolution.
• Further work needs to be done on this topic.
