Chance favours the prepared mind: CS student Richard Xie brings AI to real estate

During his inaugural lecture at the University of Lille in 1854, the French microbiologist and chemist Louis Pasteur said, “In the fields of observation chance favours only the prepared mind.”

Pasteur’s reflection is as true today as it was more than a century and a half ago. Those who observe the world keenly with minds that have been primed by experience and education will see novel ideas to pursue, original opportunities to explore.

Supervisor: Professor Stephen Mann

With an update of the usage of coordinates and an extension of the blending formulas, it is possible to construct C-continuity instead of of G-continuity, and process n-sided faces as input.

An asteroidal triple (AT) is a triple of independent vertices x, y, z such that between every pair of vertices in the triple, there is a path that does not intersect the closed neighbourhood of the third. A graph without an asteroidal triple is said to be AT-free.
