Technical Perspective: Image Processing Goes Back to Basics

In "Local Laplacian Filters," Paris et al. made a surprising move. They chose to build a system on the Laplacian pyramid, which is a very simple multiscale representation that predates wavelets.

A Long Way to Have Come and Still to Go

Oral interaction with computers is increasingly common. Pretty much anywhere you use a keyboard, Google's applications now allow you to speak. This leads me to wonder whether it is possible to write significant programs by way of high-level oral (or written) interaction with a programming system.
