Inspired by a recent Airbnb experience, I developed ContactsnApp: a user-friendly application designed to streamline the extraction and annotation of phone numbers from images using AI models.

Emergent homeomorphic curves in swarms This work introduces the concept of geometric embeddings, which permit the application of linear control policies to produce globally-stable emergent curves in swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles. The vehicles make decisions based only on local observations, without knowing their role in the larger group. Below is an animation of the technique being used to produce a lemniscatic arc. Article available here. Code available here. ...
