—Scientific simulation and modeling often aid in making critical decisions in such diverse fields as city planning, severe weather prediction and influenza modeling. In some o...
Both reactive and deliberative qualities are essential for a good action selection mechanism. We present a model that embodies a hybrid of two very different neural network archit...
We aim at creating an expressive Embodied Conversational Agent (ECA) and address the problem of synthesizing expressive agent gestures. In our previous work, we have described the ...
A major difficulty in compiler development regards the proper modularization of concerns among the various compiler phases. The traditional object-oriented development paradigm ha...
Behavior generation in humans and animals usually employs a combination of bottom-up and top-down patterns. Most available robotic architectures utilize either bottom-up or top-dow...
