BioJADE: A Design and Simulation Tool for Synthetic Biological Systems
(2004-05-28)
The next generations of both biological engineering and computer engineering demand that control be exerted at the molecular level. Creating, characterizing and controlling synthetic biological systems may provide us ...
A Detailed Look at Scale and Translation Invariance in a Hierarchical Neural Model of Visual Object Recognition
(2002-08-01)
The HMAX model has recently been proposed by Riesenhuber & Poggio as a hierarchical model of position- and size-invariant object recognition in visual cortex. It has also turned out to model successfully a number of ...
Asymptotics of Gaussian Regularized Least-Squares
(2005-10-20)
We consider regularized least-squares (RLS) with a Gaussian kernel. Weprove that if we let the Gaussian bandwidth $\sigma \rightarrow\infty$ while letting the regularization parameter $\lambda\rightarrow 0$, the RLS solution ...
Three-Dimensional Correspondence
(1998-12-01)
This paper describes the problem of three-dimensional object correspondence and presents an algorithm for matching two three-dimensional colored surfaces using polygon reduction and the minimization of an energy function. ...
Importance Sampling for Reinforcement Learning with Multiple Objectives
(2001-08-01)
This thesis considers three complications that arise from applying reinforcement learning to a real-world application. In the process of using reinforcement learning to build an adaptive electronic market-maker, we find ...
Cooperative Physics of Fly Swarms: An Emergent Behavior
(1995-04-11)
We have simulated the behavior of several artificial flies, interacting visually with each other. Each fly is described by a simple tracking system (Poggio and Reichardt, 1973; Land and Collett, 1974) which summarizes ...
Identifying Expression Fingerprints using Linguistic Information
(2005-11-18)
This thesis presents a technology to complement taxation-based policy proposals aimed at addressing the digital copyright problem. Theapproach presented facilitates identification of intellectual propertyusing expression ...
Direction Estimation of Pedestrian from Images
(2003-08-27)
The capability of estimating the walking direction of people would be useful in many applications such as those involving autonomous cars and robots.We introduce an approach for estimating the walking direction of people ...
Pyramid Match Kernels: Discriminative Classification with Sets of Image Features
(2005-03-17)
Discriminative learning is challenging when examples are setsof local image features, and the sets vary in cardinality and lackany sort of meaningful ordering. Kernel-based classificationmethods can learn complex decision ...
An Overview of MOOS-IvP and a Brief Users Guide to the IvP Helm Autonomy Software
(2009-06-18)
This document describes the IvP Helm - an Open Source behavior-based autonomy application for unmanned vehicles. IvP is short for interval programming - a technique for representing and solving multi-objective optimizations ...
