Re: How about...

Everyone here knows I'm the doubter of the group. So take what I say in that light.... Hi Nikita! :D I think you are right - that region to the right of center is a 'valley' of sorts. Whether we're reaching the floor of that valley (which is to say, the surface of the aerogel) is certainly in quest...

That movie does not look like a typical calibration movie to me, so I think it must be real if it is something, and not just a mislabeled movie. Thanks, DustSabre ! Just to be clear, this was definitely not a CM - it now appears in my list of viewed VMs (could not get there if this were a calibrati...

Thanks for the confirmation, greuti! If you were in the same room you would have heard the loud "HUH?!?" when I didn't see the Answered Correctly counter increase!

How about...

Take a look... http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/myevents_viewer.php?id=4938343V1 This is, far and away, the closest I've seen to the (supposed) "real" thing - yet only about 30% seem to agree (20 of 64, as of this post...unfortunately I'm #20 :cry: ). What's cool is that there is no ...

...even if one is found and the program adjusted to identify based on that info, it may not be able to identify other tracks that are very different, lateral tracks, for example. Nikita, Exactly! Even if a Neural Network approach were taken, we can only "learn" from what we observe, and o...

Re: Three for the price of one

. . Odds are against finding two tracks in one movie... . Odds are better for finding three, that's just the way it is. ____ :( . ...and if you look carefully, you'll see why! The one in the middle is in the process of dividing - could it be the parent? Or, worse, is it the early stages of an alien...

I think this is a real go and I'm glad you have created a program that is more realistic and accurate than your original program was. Could not agree more! I've just been a passive observer of this thread, but as someone who has a science and IT background, I heartily congratulate CK for his bold e...

Re: Here's one for the squinty eyed...

fflo - Thanks for the confirmation. FYI, the term "inclusion" as used in these discussion threads usually refers to something that was bound in the aerogel as part of the manufacturing process, as was not due to something from the "outside" coming in, so the Celestial City input...

Here's one for the squinty eyed...

I'd like to hear thoughts about this one (4 others joined me :D in a positive out of 17 viewers thus far)... http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/myevents_viewer.php?id=5916330V1 Look almost dead center, and down toward the deepest end of the movie. What interested me most was two aspects... 1) Th...

Can you please email me the elementary grade information? Susan, I'll send out the latest version either tonight or tomorrow (busy evenings ahead for me). Note that it's a rather large ZIP file (you can 'unzip' the file if you use WinXP or you can download the program WinZip - if you don't already ...

Re: question about the movie investigate criteria

If I've understand, the stardust team will investigate only the movies with a high "number of agreement". The tracks with few agreements will be ignored at all ? Hi Allesandro ! Allow me to try to clear this up... From the FAQ and earlier Stardust@home Discussions forum responses Dr. Brya...
