  • Best-first Enumeration Based on Bounding Conflicts, and its Application to Large-scale Hybrid Estimation 

    Unknown author (2018-05-24)
    With the rise of autonomous systems, there is a need for them to have high levels of robustness and safety. This robustness can be achieved through systems that are self-repairing. Underlying this is the ability to diagnose ...

  • Learning Models of Sequential Decision-Making without Complete State Specification using Bayesian Nonparametric Inference and Active Querying 

    Unknown author (2018-05-17)
    Learning models of decision-making behavior during sequential tasks is useful across a variety of applications, including human-machine interaction. In this paper, we present an approach to learning such models within ...

  • Analytic solutions for reduced leading-edge noise aerofoils 

    Ayton, Lorna Jane; Paruchuri, C (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics2018 AIAA/CEAS Aeroacoustics Conference, 2018-01-01)
    This paper presents an analytic solution for the sound generated by an unsteady gust interacting with a semi-infinite flat plate with a piecewise linear periodic leading edge. The Wiener-Hopf method is used in conjunction ...

  • Generalization in Deep Learning 

    Unknown author (2018-05-01)
    With a direct analysis of neural networks, this paper presents a mathematically tight generalization theory to partially address an open problem regarding the generalization of deep learning. Unlike previous bound-based ...

  • Grammars for generating isiXhosa and isiZulu weather bulletin verbs 

    Mahlaza, Zola (University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 2018)
    The Met Office has investigated the use of natural language generation (NLG) technologies to streamline the production of weather forecasts. Their approach would be of great benefit in South Africa because there is no fast ...

  • Designing with community health workers: feedback-integrated multimedia learning for rural community health 

    Molapo, Maletsabisa (University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceFaculty Science: ICTC4D, 2018)
    Community Health Workers (CHWs) are an integral part of the rural health system, and it is imperative that their voices are accommodated in digital health projects. In the mobile health education project discussed in this ...

  • Neuro-evolution behavior transfer for collective behavior tasks 

    Didi, Sabre Z (University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 2018)
    The design of effective, robust and autonomous controllers for multi-agent and multi-robot systems is a long-standing problem in the fields of computational intelligence and robotics. Whilst nature-inspired problem-solving ...

  • Typing training through gamification 

    Chomunorwa, Silence (University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 2018)

  • Strong cosmic censorship in de Sitter space 

    Dias, Oscar JC; Eperon, Felicity C; Reall, Harvey Stephen; Santos, Jorge Eduardo
    Recent work indicates that the strong cosmic censorship hypothesis is violated by nearly extremal Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter black holes. It was argued that perturbations of such a black hole decay sufficiently rapidly ...

  • Relativistic magnetised perturbations: Magnetic pressure versus magnetic tension 

    Tseneklidou, D; Tsagas, CG; Barrow, John David (IoPClassical and Quantum Gravity, 2018-05-16)
    We study the linear evolution of magnetised cosmological perturbations in the post-recombination epoch. Using full general relativity and adopting the ideal magnetohydrodynamic approximation, we refine and extend the ...
