Causes and Effects of Chaos
(1990-12-01)
Most of the recent literature on chaos and nonlinear dynamics is written either for popular science magazine readers or for advanced mathematicians. This paper gives a broad introduction to this interesting and rapidly ...
Feature Matching for Object Localization in the Presence of Uncertainty
(1990-05-01)
We consider the problem of matching model and sensory data features in the presence of geometric uncertainty, for the purpose of object localization and identification. The problem is to construct sets of model feature and ...
Extensions of a Theory of Networks for Approximation and Learning: Outliers and Negative Examples
(1990-07-01)
Learning an input-output mapping from a set of examples can be regarded as synthesizing an approximation of a multi-dimensional function. From this point of view, this form of learning is closely related to regularization ...
Shaping Inputs to Reduce Vibration: A Vector Diagram Approach
(1990-03-01)
This paper describes a method for limiting vibration in flexible systems by shaping the system inputs. Unlike most previous attempts at input shaping, this method does not require an extensive system model or lengthy ...
Automatic Recognition of Tractability in Inference Relations
(1990-02-01)
A procedure is given for recognizing sets of inference rules that generate polynomial time decidable inference relations. The procedure can automatically recognize the tractability of the inference rules underlying ...
The Effect of Indexing on the Complexity of Object Recognition
(1990-04-01)
Many current recognition systems use constrained search to locate objects in cluttered environments. Previous formal analysis has shown that the expected amount of search is quadratic in the number of model and data features, ...
Viewpoint-Specific Representations in Three-Dimensional Object Recognition
(1990-08-01)
We report a series of psychophysical experiments that explore different aspects of the problem of object representation and recognition in human vision. Contrary to the paradigmatic view which holds that the representations ...
The Behavior Language; User's Guide
(1990-04-01)
The Behavior Language is a rule-based real-time parallel robot programming language originally based on ideas from [Brooks 86], [Connell 89], and [Maes 89]. It compiles into a modified and extended version of the ...
Fault-Tolerant Design for Multistage Routing Networks
(1990-04-01)
As the size of digital systems increases, the mean time between single component failures diminishes. To avoid component related failures, large computers must be fault-tolerant. In this paper, we focus on methods for ...
Repairing Learned Knowledge Using Experience
(1990-05-01)
Explanation-based learning occurs when something useful is retained from an explanation, usually an account of how some particular problem can be solved given a sound theory. Many real-world explanations are not based ...
