👀 Introducing StylEx: A New Approach for Visual Explanation of Classifierss
Understanding how neural networks reach decisions can be challenging, but is also valuable for uses from image analysis to scientific discovery. A new approach, called StylEx, discovers and visualizes how disentangled attributes affect a classifier.
🧠 TorchPhysics by Bosch
Bosch has open-sourced their Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) library. The package is powered by PyTorch.
💻 Engineering Tool of the Week – LibreCAD
LibreCAD is a free Open Source CAD application for Windows, Apple and Linux. Support and documentation are free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers.
📚 Book of the Week
To Engineer Is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design
How did a simple design error cause one of the great disasters of the 1980s - the collapse of the walkways at the Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel? What made the graceful and innovative Tacoma Narrows Bridge twist apart in a mild wind in 1940? How did an oversized waterlily inspire the magnificent Crystal Palace, the crowning achievement of Victorian architecture and engineering?
These are some of the failures and successes that Henry Petroski, author of the acclaimed The Pencil, examines in this engaging, wonderfully literate book. More than a series of fascinating case studies, To Engineer is Human is a work that looks at our deepest notions of progress and perfection, tracing the fine connection between the quantifiable realm of science and the chaotic realities of everyday life
