A Genetic Algorithm for Image Reconstruction

We would cordially like to share here the source code of a genetic algorithm (GA). We developed this GA for image reconstruction. We recently reported our work about the evolution of Mona Lisa. We used this algorithm to achieve the…

Evolution of Mona Lisa With Pablo Picasso’s Paintings

In the past, we have also been involved with evolutionary design. In particular, we tried to do an experiment to recreate Mona Lisa using a handful of paintings of Pablo Picasso. We wanted to see how it all goes. Our…

A Tutorial on Simulating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

We have been working on simulating autonomous drones for quite some time now. We published details of our work in the past. Recently, we thought about publishing our experiences with the feat of simulating drones. Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)…

Evolving Technical Trading Strategies Using Genetic Algorithms: A Case About Pakistan Stock Exchange

Last summer our team sat down together to come up with a strategy to predict stock market ups and downs. We employed genetic algorithms to predict stock price variations. In particular, our work was focused on Pakistan Stock Exchange. Our…

Optimizing Voice QoE for AI-Driven Communication Leveraging the Wideband E-Model to Minimize Network Latency Artifacts

CASE STUDY: Engineering the Future of Voice Quality How OptimumT Utilizes Advanced Wideband E-Models to Solve Jitter-Induced Audio Artifacts The Challenge: The “Invisible” Quality Killers In modern VoIP and 5G communications, high-definition (Wideband) audio is the standard. However, traditional monitoring…

NUAV – A Testbed for Development of UAVs

In a remote town of Pakistan, in an increasing rural setup, we developed a testbed for simulating drone planes. Our idea was that if we could glue a cutting-edge flight simulator with state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms, innovation will follow spontaneously.…

Simulators as Drivers of Cutting Edge Research

We believe that simulations can lead to better systems. This is to say that instead of employing real hardware for development, it would be much better to simulate them first somehow. Having the shrewdness of artificial intelligence behind, and the…

A Passion Revitalized

At OptimumT we contemplate on why agricultural systems of Pakistan are suffering dilapidation. Pakistan has been an agricultural country in a traditional sense. The agricultural heritage of Pakistan dates backs to millenniums. However, for one reason or the other, agriculture…

Deploying Renewables

The world is adopting renewable energy systems quite fast. Even in the regions where massive adoption of renewable energy systems in not underway, people and polities are contemplating about the possible ways in which it could be done. This recent…

Algorithms That Create Algorithms

Keeping in line with our fascination of technical ideas, we would like to share another of our research proposals. This one is titled, “Theory and Applications of Hyper-Heuristics.” What are hyper-heuristics? A comprehensive understanding of the ideas demands some familiarity…
