SodaBot: A Software Agent Environment and Construction System
(1994-11-02)
This thesis presents SodaBot, a general-purpose software agent user-environment and construction system. Its primary component is the basic software agent --- a computational framework for building agents which is ...
Methods for Parallelizing Search Paths in Phrasing
(1994-01-01)
Many search problems are commonly solved with combinatoric algorithms that unnecessarily duplicate and serialize work at considerable computational expense. There are techniques available that can eliminate redundant ...
Interaction and Intelligent Behavior
(1994-08-01)
We introduce basic behaviors as primitives for control and learning in situated, embodied agents interacting in complex domains. We propose methods for selecting, formally specifying, algorithmically implementing, ...
Exploiting the Parallelism Exposed by Partial Evaluation
(1994-05-01)
We describe the key role played by partial evaluation in the Supercomputing Toolkit, a parallel computing system for scientific applications that effectively exploits the vast amount of parallelism exposed by partial ...
Pattern Motion Perception: Feature Tracking or Integration of Component Motions?
(1994-10-01)
A key question regarding primate visual motion perception is whether the motion of 2D patterns is recovered by tracking distinctive localizable features [Lorenceau and Gorea, 1989; Rubin and Hochstein, 1992] or by ...
Algebraic Functions For Recognition
(1994-01-01)
In the general case, a trilinear relationship between three perspective views is shown to exist. The trilinearity result is shown to be of much practical use in visual recognition by alignment --- yielding a direct method ...
Garbage Collection is Fast, But a Stack is Faster
(1994-03-01)
Prompted by claims that garbage collection can outperform stack allocation when sufficient physical memory is available, we present a careful analysis and set of cross-architecture measurements comparing these two approaches ...
On the Relationship Between Generalization Error, Hypothesis Complexity, and Sample Complexity for Radial Basis Functions
(1994-02-01)
In this paper, we bound the generalization error of a class of Radial Basis Function networks, for certain well defined function learning tasks, in terms of the number of parameters and number of examples. We show ...
Neural Network Exploration Using Optimal Experiment Design
(1994-06-01)
We consider the question "How should one act when the only goal is to learn as much as possible?" Building on the theoretical results of Fedorov [1972] and MacKay [1992], we apply techniques from Optimal Experiment ...
Object Recognition By Alignment Using Invariant Projections of Planar Surfaces
(1994-02-01)
In order to recognize an object in an image, we must determine the best transformation from object model to the image. In this paper, we show that for features from coplanar surfaces which undergo linear transformations ...
