Replacing juniors with AI is stupid because who will be the next senior? AI won't learn anything while performing inference only.

A wonderful satire!

Most volume renderers lack a good transfer function editor. When analyzing volumes, especially explorative analysis, the most effective tool is to dial in colors and opacities for certain value ranges, in order to find structures.

The volume rendering engine I have been working on uses a histogram for the value distribution, and on top of it, one can draw lines that indicate the opacity. Additionally, one can set colors to the control points, which are then linearly interpolated for the given ranges.

What’s that color-map called?

Most “professional” techno djs in Germany use Traktor, if they are not using Ableton or the CDJs

It depends I guess.

If you solve a problem that had been around for a while and LLMs offer a new way of approaching it, then it can definitely become a paper.

Of cause one has to verify in sophisticated experiments, that this approach is stable.

Not true. You need a distance matrix (for classical PCA it's a covariance matrix), which scales quadratically with the number of points you want to compare. If you have 1 Mio. vectors, each creating a float entry in the matrix, you will end up with approx (10^6)^2 / 2 unique values, which is roughly 2000Gb of memory.

Unfortunately this is not feasible with a large amount of words due to the quadratic scaling. But thanks for the response!

You wrote „out of the box“, did you find a way to improve this?
