Fun with DeepMind’s Deep Q-learning
I have had an awful lot of fun with Google DeepMind’s Deep Q-learning algorithm. It plays Atari Breakout solely based on relying the sensory input, and doesn’t know anything about the game when starting out.
I have also added a patch to fix the visualization when reloading a pre-trained network. The window will appear after the first evaluation batch is done (typically a few minutes). This configuration is able to run Ilya Kuzovkin’s version using less than 1GB VRAM.
Separable Subsurface Scattering in 4k!
To demonstrate the simplicity of our technique, we have implemented Separable Subsurface Scattering in a less than 4 kilobyte binary executable file. This is the whole thing:
Details are available here. Greetings to elites!
Interviews
Three new interviews are now available:
– DSOGaming in English,
– SG.hu in Hungarian,
– PC Games Hardware in German,
Check them out!
KÉPAF 2015
Just got back from KÉPAF 2015, a domestic computer vision and shape recognition conference. We had a great time with an electronic poster session and some great outdoor events involving all kinds of horseback riding. Thank you!
LuxRender at the Oscars!
Some footage made with LuxRender was shown during the Academy Awards. I have to admit that I reserved this Oscar-award image to posts involving any prizes and awards, and now there you go! 🙂 I’m so proud!
Overview of biased light transport and light source minimization techniques
Kevin Streicher wrote an excellent tech report as a seminar work in computer graphics. Congratulations!
Extending Separable Subsurface Scattering to Arbitrary Materials
Christian Freude, my first Master’s student has graduated with flying colors. Not many can say that their Master’s thesis work is featured in the news. His thesis is available below, and you can find out more about the project here (code, paper and more). Congratulations Christian!
