Find the code for this post at https://github.com/jjhbw/hospital-schedule Physician Scheduling Shift scheduling of doctors in a hospital is a notoriously complex puzzle. This process is often a manual, time-consuming task that can take days of a planner’s time. Some departments even let the doctors do it themselves, and time spent creating shift schedules is time not spent on patient care.…
Hi! I am Jurriaan Barkey Wolf. While my background is in computational biology, I have always had a strong affinity with building software. Since writing my first line of code about a decade ago, I have developed a strong full-stack engineering skillset. My recent projects involve a variety of topics: from architecting data engineering stacks to developing custom machine learning and data…
Thanks to @chriamue for building this browser-based demo using wasm-pack! Tracking objects in videos is a typical problem in computer vision. Note that tracking is distinct from detection: we’re assuming we’ve already detected the object we want to track (by finding its centroid or bounding box). When working on tracking, we want to find the object of interest again in subsequent video…
Why? Tensorflow’s new Accelerated Linear Algebra (XLA) framework comes with a lot of advantages, like Just In Time (JIT) compilation of computation graphs leading to speedups during training and inference on both GPU and CPU. Moreover, it supports Ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation as well through the tfcompile tool. For me, AOT compilation is where it gets interesting. I’ve struggled to…
Event sourcing Lately, I’ve been looking into the Event Sourcing pattern as a way to make a simple auditable data storage system. In a traditional database system, state is often stored as a collection of related tables or as documents. You can query this state and mutate it at will, but problems arise when you want to find out something about previous states of your database. This requires…
To get more of a feel for computer vision techniques and their applications, I decided to dive into one of computer vision’s most described applications: traffic monitoring. I wanted to not use OpenCV for once, and decided this was a great excuse to explore Rust, a modern systems language. The full implementation discussed in this post can be found on Github. Goal Count traffic in a…
I don’t have time for your dry prose, show me the code! GitHub repo with the code in-browser demo If you find any mistakes in the code or in this post, be sure to let me know! You can create an issue in the github repo or send me an email. Goal So I wanted to make a cross-platform barcode scanner for a research project involving inventory management. Ideally, it would end up being a simple…
