Level 74 Is Impossible
A while ago I downloaded a simple puzzle game called Water Sorting Puzzle where you have multiple flasks with different colors of liquid and you have to somehow sort them to beat a level. The nice thing about this app is that it’s completly ad free - unlike many other apps with the same game concept. I was playing it until level 74 where I hit a wall. Feel free to try it out yourself:
Calculating Prime Numbers in SQL
Ever needed to calculate prime numbers in a SQL database? No? Here is the query anyways: with recursive primes(i, d) as ( select generate_series(2, 10000), 2 union select i, (select min(i) from primes where i > d) from primes where d <= (select sqrt(max(i)) from primes) and (i <= d or mod(i, d) != 0) ) select i from primes where d = (select max(d) from primes) order by primes.i ASC You can try it…

Master's Thesis: Asynchronous Optimization Algorithms
Today, I finished my master’s thesis with the Computer Vision chair under Prof. Dr. Daniel Cremers. I surveyed several distributed, asynchronous optimization algorithms, gave insights into their convergence theory and performed experiments on the “delayed” versions of Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) and of the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers algorithm (ADMM). You…
Generate Graphs Using GANs
During the winter semester 2018/2019, I did a “guided research” project with the Data Analytics and Machine Learning Group chair at TUM. Together with my advisors we modified one of their projects called NetGAN that generates graphs (networks) using Generative Adversarial Networks. You can find my report below. Download
Separating the Foreground and Background of a Video
Currently, I am taking a class called “Convex Optimization for Machine Learning & Computer Vision”. Even though the lectures are quite theoretical, the programming homework are not and we do some interesting projects like this one: How would you separate the background and the foreground of a video using optimization? Most likely, you would somehow make the assumption that the…
Do Not Blindly Trust Your Data
During my masters, I took the class “Data Science Society” which is about the ethics on data science. For the final project of this class we had to write an essay on a related topic. This was my attempt. Download
Getting a Royal Flush in Video Poker
Some months ago I came across the Twitch streamer Joshimuz who has quite an interesting project: He tries to play through GTA San Andreas by solving everything. Not only he tries to achieve 100 % but he also set his own goals and challenges. At the same time, he gives insights into a lot of (speed running) techniques, interesting bugs and a little bit of game development. If you like content like…
