				|   | Images to ASCII RevisitedI have revisited the old concept of representing images with
	standard ASCII characters. I have improved upon the old methods by
	not only modeling the gray levels, but also the shape of the
	images. Using this same idea, I have also designed a converter which
	traces the edges of binary images. |  
				| Projection of voice onto feature subspaces used by recognition systemsTo illustrate that perhaps current voice recognition systems may not be looking at the
		right set of features, I performed a simple experiment. Voice signals were projected onto
		the feature set used by recognition systems, varying levels of noise was added in dimensions
		orthogonal to these features, and then the signal was back-projected. The results are surprising. |   |  
				|   | ImageMosaicsImageMosaics have recently replaced autostereograms as the
	new cool thing in computer vision / graphics.  Here are a few examples. |  
				| GraphicsMany of the projects which I've done that branch into the realm of computer graphics. |   |  
				|   | Learning to Play PacMan Using Incremental Reinforcement LearningI have applied an 
		"embodied intelligence"
		behavior learning approach to 
		learn optimal playing strategies for both PacMan and the opponent ghosts.
		Over many thousands of iterations, the linear creature-centered perceptron
		network is continually modified with reinforcements based on rewards 
		gained through out each game. To make such a formidable learning task
		feasible, we begin training with extremely simple boards, then increase
		their complexity once simpler, basic behaviors have been learned. |
