A Neuromorphic Multi-chip Model of a Disparity Selective Complex Cell
The relative depth of objects causes small shifts in the left and right retinal positions of these objects, called binocular disparity. Here, we describe a neuromorphic implementa...

Learning a World Model and Planning with a Self-Organizing, Dynamic Neural System
We present a connectionist architecture that can learn a model of the relations between perceptions and actions and use this model for behavior planning. State representations are...

Learning Non-Rigid 3D Shape from 2D Motion
This paper presents an algorithm for learning the time-varying shape of a non-rigid 3D object from uncalibrated 2D tracking data. We model shape motion as a rigid component (rotat...

The Diffusion-Limited Biochemical Signal-Relay Channel
Biochemical signal-transduction networks are the biological information-processing systems by which individual cells, from neurons to amoebae, perceive and respond to their chemic...

Approximate Planning in POMDPs with Macro-Actions
Recent research has demonstrated that useful POMDP solutions do not require consideration of the entire belief space. We extend this idea with the notion of temporal abstraction. ...

Extending Q-Learning to General Adaptive Multi-Agent Systems
Recent multi-agent extensions of Q-Learning require knowledge of other agents’ payoffs and Q-functions, and assume game-theoretic play at all times by all other agents. This pap...

Entrainment of Silicon Central Pattern Generators for Legged Locomotory Control
We have constructed a second generation CPG chip capable of generating the necessary timing to control the leg of a walking machine. We demonstrate improvements over a previous ch...

Link Prediction in Relational Data
Many real-world domains are relational in nature, consisting of a set of objects related to each other in complex ways. This paper focuses on predicting the existence and the type...

Max-Margin Markov Networks
In typical classification tasks, we seek a function which assigns a label to a single object. Kernel-based approaches, such as support vector machines (SVMs), which maximize the ...
