Ask HN: What tough problems are you solving right now?

by colesantiago·9y ago·5 comments·view on hn ↗

Just finished my CS degree recently and have some free time to kill, but have no idea what problems that I need solving.

Just very genuinely curious about what you guys are solving right now.

Stating a choice of programming language is a plus.

Quantum Complexity Theory. It's useful in machine learning when defining a slope in an infinite dimensional function space (Hilbert Space). I'm trying to understand what problems are worth solving with quantum machine learning algorithms.

Can you yell us more? It seems quite interesting

Agreed, would also like to hear more about this!

Dealing with poorly behaved surfaces (specular, luminous, reflective, deformity) in 3D reconstruction.

Figuring out human interaction intent from force measurements for cooperating with a robot in a collaborative task (moving a table together).

Both language agnostic.

3D reconstruction is a pretty big problem. Anyone who solves that problem by just using a camera on a mobile phone and doing processing offline in real-time can make huge strides for robotics.

We have the advances in Deep learning but we're still have to make some strides before robots can infer the same way we humans do about objects we see.
