Laboratory Notes

Hello everyone, how are you doing?

Last year was complicated for me. I lost my friend Gabriel Antonio (Gag), and later my grandfather. I also had to quit my job to focus on my Master’s degree. Because of this, I needed to stop publishing on this blog and dedicate my time to my studies.

Now, I want to continue publishing new posts and sharing ideas from my Master’s dissertation. I will organize these posts into a series called Laboratory Notes. This series is related to my Master’s dissertation. It is not exactly my dissertation, but all of these topics are discussed in my dissertation.

The first post in the Laboratory Notes series is about “What’s a k-d tree?”. In this post, I will explain what a k-d tree is and in which scenarios it is used (I hope to publish it as soon as possible). The following post will be about how to insert and delete a node in a k-d tree. And the last post of the first season will discuss how to maintain a k-d tree in a data stream and what impact this has on the structure.

These posts are based on the paper I am currently writing about this structure applied to streaming environments. When I finish it, I will share it in the Research tab. I believe that science should be open and accessible to everyone.

“There is no teaching without research and no research without teaching.” — Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of Autonomy (1996).

I am dedicating my time to helping everyone understand this structure.

See you in the next posts! :)

Keep Learning,
Pedro ;)
