The agent view provides maybe the right level of abstraction for dealing with complex, distribblem-solving systems. It abstracts from aspects like the hardware or software platfor...
We advance new active object recognition algorithms that classify rigid objects and estimate their pose from intensity images. Our algorithms automatically detect if the class or p...
— A cognitive robot system has to acquire and efficiently store vast knowledge about the world it operates in. To cope with every day tasks, a robot needs to learn, classify and...
The human ability to learn difficult object categories from just a few views is often explained by an extensive use of knowledge from related classes. In this work we study the use...
The popularity of Wikipedia and other online knowledge bases has recently produced an interest in the machine learning community for the problem of automatic linking. Automatic hy...
