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 that, you should definitely check out his video series True 100%+ on Youtube.https://filipre.github.io/posts/level-74-is-impossible/Mon, 04 Mar 2024 23:02:39 +0100https://filipre.github.io/posts/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:https://filipre.github.io/posts/calculating-primes-in-sql/Sun, 28 Jan 2024 21:51:39 +0100https://filipre.github.io/posts/calculating-primes-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 out here.https://filipre.github.io/posts/masters-thesis/Fri, 13 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://filipre.github.io/posts/masters-thesis/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 can find my thesis and its abstract below. Download Abstract Recently, distributed optimization became more and more popular due to the increase in available training data and available computing power.https://filipre.github.io/posts/separating-foreground-and-background/Sun, 17 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000https://filipre.github.io/posts/separating-foreground-and-background/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 background takes most of the space and stays still while the foreground are all the smaller parts that are moving.https://filipre.github.io/posts/my-first-post/Thu, 24 Apr 2025 21:58:25 +0200https://filipre.github.io/posts/my-first-post/Introduction This is bold text, and this is emphasized text.

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.

For the final project of this class we had to write an essay on a related topic. This was my attempt.
