Accelerating Eulerian Fluid Simulation With Convolutional Networks

/in /by

Jonathan Tompson from Google and his colleagues, Kristofer Schlachter, Pablo Sprechmann and Ken Perlin from the New York University have come up with a really nice technique to teach a convolutional neural network how fluid and smoke simulations work. The project webpage is available here, or you can click on the image below to access the paper.

Fang Da and his colleagues published an absolutely amazing paper on fluid simulations. Make sure to have a look, it is available here (or click on the paper below). I helped a bit with setting up the rendering pipeline and the scenes properly.

I was stunned to realize that we have reached one million views within the first year of Two Minute Papers! I have no idea how it happened, but thanks so much to you Fellow Scholars, I am honored to have supporters like you for the series!

Jázmin Zsolnai-Fehér

/in /by
We are delighted to share the news with you that our daughter Jázmin Zsolnai-Fehér was born today. The expected time of arrival for the baby was March 18th, with a significant non-zero variance. As you can see, she is currently lifting weights in her sleep and can’t wait to help her father coding neural networks and light transport algorithms. Jázmin is pronounced yah-zmin, which is a fair a bit easier to say than Károly is. Everyone is in good health and we are already working together!

A fantastic new composition from John Williams. His work is completely out of this world! It was lots of fun to play and record this on on December 31st.
