compositional scene representation is the process of trying to represent a certain visual signal into its constituent parts.

Aim: unsupervised segmentation + representation

• the model finds the most intuitive representations of the scene
• train segmentation and representation together

Autoencoding segmentation! Segment => Represent => Resegment => etc.

Gaussian Mixture Model???? over pixels: regularizes by taking KL Divergence between latent and predicted output, to force them to be similar.

Loss: error in RECONSTRUCTION and KL-Divergence of latent space

Computational Biology is a the study of biology using computation.

Rather that starting from the properties, start with the end states or what properties it has; instead, we define the initial values based on the edges.

• the relationship between temperature and occurance of a uniform gas is actually right-skewed; the mean temperature in a uniform closed system will be higher than the median temperature
• molecules are not static: at best, molecules are static when frozen in place; yet, generally it is not in their nature to stay solidly in place; they just shuffle around but maintain the molecular sturucture

If the energy level is higher, it will ignore various troughs

Time Complexity
