It’s likely you’ve heard of the Pareto principle (maybe even while reading my tips on how to be more productive at work or study more effectively). But do you really know what the Pareto principle is?

A 3D shape with all straight edges and flat faces is a polyhedron. Other 3D shapes with least one curved surface are not polyhedra. A 3D shape with regular polygonal faces, meeting at equal angles, is ...

Minimalist plotting for Python, inspired by Edward Tufte’s principles of data visualization. Maximising the data–ink ratio: remove non-essential lines, marks, and colours. Content-driven spines and ...

imagesc3s is a function that allows to visualize 3D images in a 2D slice-by-slice fashion. It is based on the matplotlib library and allows to interactively scroll through the slices of a 3D image. It ...

Abstract: Integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) is emerging as one of the six application scenarios for future wireless networks. Characterizing the Pareto boundary is an urgent issue in ...

Abstract: Achieving uniform Pareto front (PF) approximations across various PF geometries and dimensions is a significant challenge. Most multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) that adapt a ...
