A Holistic Approach to Compositional Semantics: A Connectionist Model and Robot Experiments
We present a novel connectionist model for acquiring the semantics of a simple language through the behavioral experiences of a real robot. We focus on the “compositionality” ...

Generalised Propagation for Fast Fourier Transforms with Partial or Missing Data
Discrete Fourier transforms and other related Fourier methods have been practically implementable due to the fast Fourier transform (FFT). However there are many situations where ...

Geometric Clustering Using the Information Bottleneck Method
We argue that K–means and deterministic annealing algorithms for geometric clustering can be derived from the more general Information Bottleneck approach. If we cluster the ide...

Sparseness of Support Vector Machines---Some Asymptotically Sharp Bounds
The decision functions constructed by support vector machines (SVM’s) usually depend only on a subset of the training set—the so-called support vectors. We derive asymptotical...

Bias-Corrected Bootstrap and Model Uncertainty
The bootstrap has become a popular method for exploring model (structure) uncertainty. Our experiments with artificial and realworld data demonstrate that the graphs learned from...

A Computational Geometric Approach to Shape Analysis in Images
We present a geometric approach to statistical shape analysis of closed curves in images. The basic idea is to specify a space of closed curves satisfying given constraints, and e...

Linear Dependent Dimensionality Reduction
We formulate linear dimensionality reduction as a semi-parametric estimation problem, enabling us to study its asymptotic behavior. We generalize the problem beyond additive Gauss...

Eye Movements for Reward Maximization
Recent eye tracking studies in natural tasks suggest that there is a tight link between eye movements and goal directed motor actions. However, most existing models of human eye m...

Unsupervised Context Sensitive Language Acquisition from a Large Corpus
We describe a pattern acquisition algorithm that learns, in an unsupervised fashion, a streamlined representation of linguistic structures from a plain natural-language corpus. Th...

Warped Gaussian Processes
We generalise the Gaussian process (GP) framework for regression by learning a nonlinear transformation of the GP outputs. This allows for non-Gaussian processes and non-Gaussian ...
