• Complex financial products: caveat emptor: technical perspective, an introduction.
• Computational complexity and information asymmetry in financial products, modern financial products are simply untrackable.
• Images everywhere: looking for models: technical perspective, but it is still hard to tell “what is an image?”.
• Self-similarity-based image denoising. Despite decades of research, denoising is still an everlasting problem in computer vision.

A bicycle can be self-stable without gyroscopic or caster effects (doi), from Delft. It is surprising that there was not sufficient theory to support the balance of the bicycle.

Rodric Rabbah has some interesting publications.
