Multispectral Image Sensors using Metasurfaces at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBj1at18NZ8 At 23:35 I always get upset because I also have to deal with KiloHertz, Hertz, milliHertz, microHertz, nanoHertz signals from many kinds of sensors used on the Internet. Many of the “gravitational” detectors only work in narrow bands now, but can go up to gamma ray frequencies and

https://vgupta123.github.io/ Inference and Reasoning for Semi-Structured Tables by Vivek Gupta at https://vgupta123.github.io/docs/phd_thesis.pdf @keviv9 Vivek, reading your dissertation, it is not necessary to have uniformly labeled data, uniformly tokenized and structured global knowledge. Free form data can be semi-structured, if exact copies are kept of the raw (free, original) data. So many can re-examine and add.
