Partial Representation Extension and Simultaneous Representation of Intersection Graphs
… intersection graphs. A (geometric) intersection representation of a graph G=(V,E) is a family {R_v}_{v\in V} of geometric objects such that two geometric objects R_u, R_v intersect if and only if the corresponding vertices u, v are adjacent in G. The most prominent class of intersection graphs …

Algebraic terminological representation
This thesis investigates terminological representation languages, as used in KL-ONE-type knowledge representation systems, from an algebraic point of view. Terminological representation languages are based on two primitive syntactic types, called concepts and roles, which are usually interpreted …

Rationality without representation
This dissertation is about whether and how non-representational attitudes could play a role in our theories of rationality. In Chapter 1 ('Negation, expressivism, and intentionality') I argue that the best explanation for why two mental states are inconsistent need not presuppose that such states …

Neural Representation for robotics
… which lead to inaccurate or incomplete geometric representations. Neural representations have recently demonstrated exceptional capabilities in Novel View Synthesis (NVS), effectively handling many scenarios where conventional depth cameras struggle. Moreover, unlike traditional methods requiring …

Aspect-Oriented Music Representation
… and use this to evolve an Aspect Oriented Music Representation (AOMR), and a concrete proof-of-concept implementation of AOMR called AspectMusic. AOMR demonstrates how two different, current approaches to AOP, namely symmetric and asymmetric, can be usefully applied to the separation, composition …

Consciousness, Representation, and Flexibility
… as the Minimal Claim - that consciousness has a representational base. In Chapter 3, I apply the work done in the two previous chapters to the issue of ascribing consciousness to beings other than ourselves, suggesting that behavioral flexibility may play an important role.

Inequality in Political Representation
In many countries the near-universal right to vote in elections has been a core attribute of their democratic institutions for decades, and in some cases over a century. However, the political experience of many of these very countries over the past decade have often alternated between apathy and …

Qualitative representation for recognition
This thesis describes a representation for objects and scenes that is stable against variations in image intensity caused by illumination changes and tolerant to image degradations such as sensor noise. The representation, called a ratio-template, uses low-resolution ordinal contrast relationships …

Essays on political representation
… our understanding of the link between political representation and policy outcomes. In particular, this collection of essays examines how the institutional arrangements and formal processes that precede and initiate political representation either promote or hinder the representation of various …

Representation learning of recipes
… methods for learning distributed, vector representations of cooking recipes. The individual components of a recipe -- the images, instructions, and ingredients -- are first treated individually. These representations are learned from a large, multi-modal dataset collected -- and publicly …

Educator representation through trade unions
… evaluates the efficiency and effectiveness of representation of educators, by their unions. Questionnaires and open-ended interviews were used to collect data from educators, union officials and school principals. Data is analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The study reveals that, …

The Politics of Self-Representation
… as it made me aware of the politics of selfrepresentation. Self- representation is at the core of my work, however, through this PhD research I have found many other unsuspected connections between my films that encompass the modes of production, including humour, post-production techniques, …

Fock's representation for molecular orbitals
V. Fock studied the hydrogen atom problem in momentum space by projecting the space onto a 4-dimensional hyper-sphere. He found that as a consequence of the symmetry of the problem in this space the eigen-functions are the R<sub>4</sub> spherical harmonics and that the eigenvalues are determined …

Facial feature representation and recognition
… and social interaction. Facial expression representation and recognition have become a promising research area during recent years. Its applications include human-computer interfaces, human emotion analysis, and medical care and cure. In this dissertation, the fundamental techniques will be …
