LaTeX topics: Paper size and margins when producing PS documents
By Kenneth M. Hanson from [http://kmh-lanl.hansonhub.com/spie/]: DVIPS – converting DVI files to PostScript files When latex is run, it produces a file with the extension DVI (for Device Independent), which completely encodes the formatted document, with the exception of the image files. A separate application is needed to view or print the document, or to […]
LaTeX topics: Reducing the size of large PS files
By Kenneth M. Hanson from [http://kmh-lanl.hansonhub.com/spie/]: If the PS file produced by DVIPS is large (>5 MB), it is probably because of the size of the EPS image files you are using for figures. DVIPS essentially copies the EPS image files directly into its output PS file. To reduce the size of the PS file, […]
LaTeX topics: Uppercase letters and special symbols in BibTex
By Kenneth M. Hanson from [http://kmh-lanl.hansonhub.com/spie/]: BibTeX tries to enforce standard publishing rules regarding article titles and authors’ names; it sometimes changes uppercase letters to lower case. BibTeX also has trouble with umlauts, generally created in LaTeX with “{o}, because it is looking for the ” to end the input line. The general rule for […]
Course from Coursera: Probabilistic Graphical Models (Stanford University)
This is a very high quality (and hard) online (and free) course about Probabilistic Graphical Models developed in the MOOC Coursera platform. The course is given by Daphne Koller from the Stanford University. This course can be the difference between a standard thesis and a brilliant one. The book associated with this course can be […]

LIRIS human activities dataset with depth data
Extracted from Imageworld: This dataset had been originally shot for the ICPR 2012 human activities recognition and localization challenge (ICPR HARL). Target applications are the recognition of complex human activities, focusing on complex human behavior involving several people in the video at the same time, on actions involving severalinteracting people and on human-object interactions. The […]
