Abstract. Imitation learning is an intuitive and easy way of programming robots. Instead of specifying motor commands, you simply show the robot what to do. This paper presents a m...
The functions of sleep have been an enduring mystery. Recently, Tononi and Cirelli hypothesized that one of the functions of slow-wave sleep is to scale down synapses in the corte...
Nonparametric neighborhood methods for learning entail estimation of class conditional probabilities based on relative frequencies of samples that are "near-neighbors" of...
A class of biped locomotion called Passive Dynamic Walking (PDW) has been recognized to be efficient in energy consumption and a key to understand human walking. Although PDW is s...
Hidden Markov models hmms and partially observable Markov decision processes pomdps provide useful tools for modeling dynamical systems. They are particularly useful for represent...
