—Consider the problem of a robot (learning mechanism or algorithm) attempting to locate a point on a line. The mechanism interacts with a random environment which essentially inf...
The ambiguity inherent in a localized analysis of events from video can be resolved by exploiting constraints between events and examining only feasible global explanations. We sho...
