Does anyone know a source of photos with #IPTC #metadata in character sets other than #UTF8 and #ASCII? I'd like to give some software I've written a thorough test on some real world examples.

Happy Screaming Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to those who celebrate

May 15, 1940 – McDonald’s opens its first restaurant in San Bernardino, California.

Former Cabinet Minister George Eustice tells the Commons the Australia trade deal "is not actually a very good deal for the UK" blaming Liz Truss for "an arbitrary target to conclude Heads of Terms" by the G7 summit and "from that moment the UK was on the back foot"

Today's random picture from my #Flickr albums dates back to 1984. In those days I used colour transparency film, and one of my many unfinished projects is to scan all my old slides. This picture is from a summer holiday and shows the Mer de Glace glacier as seen from the Chamonix mountain railway.

I wanted to advertise a postdoc position in beautiful Norwich, that is for 3+2 years.
We are looking for a bioinformatician, or someone who wants to become one. In the post we will investigate gut metagenomes using 3rd gen sequencing, deep learning, to investigate pan genomes and microbial adaptation, mostly using human gut time series of various host ailments.

Please retoot or send to interested parties, thanks!

Today's reminder:
Wash your hands.

I'm looking for references on papers comparing wide-and-sparse #NeuralNetworks to narrow-and-dense networks.

In other words, assume you have a fixed parameter count for a layer. Then, is it better to have more features or more "interaction" between neurons (the average in-degree of each output neuron is higher, but there are fewer neurons than in the wide-but-sparse case).

Any pointers?
