Blog
This blog has no particular topic, for it is just to present things that seem interesting to me and worth publishing. However, from the scientific point of view, the topics are biased towards colorful, generally understandable examples out of the fields
- Swarm behavior
- Artificial Life
- Neurocomputation
- Robotics
and related. From the leisure point of view, blog entries may also represent funny, but interesting technical gadgets, but also thoughts that come to my mind.
Amorphophallus Titanum in The Botanical Gardens in Bonn
Photos of the Botanical Gardens in Bonn – featuring the currently not visitable Amorphophallus Titanum (the flower with the largest blossom in the world)! Additionally, some macros of other plants.
Spring Time Macros
Some macro images of an ant colony (formica rufa) ans some other macros of insects and flowers.
SNIPE Version 0.81
The bugfix release 0.81 includes patches for two small bugs, that threw exceptions under certain conditions. As no interface changes were implemented, the documentation v0.8 is still valid. Thanks to Maximilian Ernestus for constructive remarks. Both bugs concerned helper methods, no data propagating parts of the framework were affected.
SNIPE - Scalable and Generalized Neural Information Processing Engine
SNIPE (click here to get on the dedicated page) is a well-documented JAVA library that implements a framework for neural networks in a speedy, feature-rich and usable way. It was originally designed for high performance simulations with lots and lots of neural networks (even large ones) being trained simultaneously, and therefore it is pretty optimized. Have fun with it!
Switching Servers
This web site is migrated on a new server, so there may be some small offline periods around Sunday, March 7th, sorry for that.

USA Trip 2009: The 135 best of more than 3000 Pictures
Finally, we've found the time to merge and substantially thin out our photo collections from the trip. Then, with 3000 photos left, we made up a “best of” gallery of 135 ones.
Nightly and foggy Lugano
Pictures taken throughout a short stay at the University of the italian part of Switzerland.
