Series Elastic Actuators
(1995-09-07)
This thesis presents the design, construction, control and evaluation of a novel force controlled actuator. Traditional force controlled actuators are designed from the premise that "Stiffer is better''. This approach ...
Vector-Based Integration of Local and Long-Range Information in Visual Cortex
(1996-01-18)
Integration of inputs by cortical neurons provides the basis for the complex information processing performed in the cerebral cortex. Here, we propose a new analytic framework for understanding integration within ...
The Unsupervised Acquisition of a Lexicon from Continuous Speech
(1996-01-18)
We present an unsupervised learning algorithm that acquires a natural-language lexicon from raw speech. The algorithm is based on the optimal encoding of symbol sequences in an MDL framework, and uses a hierarchical ...
Active Learning with Statistical Models
(1995-03-21)
For many types of learners one can compute the statistically 'optimal' way to select data. We review how these techniques have been used with feedforward neural networks. We then show how the same principles may be ...
