Learning in dynamic temporal domains using contextual prediction entropy as a guiding principle.
Temporal sequence learning facilitates the near-term prediction of future events, a skill that is essential in order for intelligent agents to function in a dynamic world. Agents acting in real-time dynamic environments must anticipate the movement of other agents/objects to avoid collisions and …

Low-power switched-capacitor amplifier and Sigma-Delta modulator design for integrated biosensor applications
… across pieces of tissue in both the spatial and temporal domains. Single electrode systems can be used to determine neurotransmitter concentrations at specific locations, but do not provide spatial resolution. Dyes and marking compounds can be used to locate concentrations of neurotransmitters …

A contextual analysis of definite and indefinite interpretations of tense
… In a discourse, times denoted by tenses and temporal adverbials are added to the context as salient. There may be multiple time intervals that are contextually salient, and these are available for the interpretation of subsequent temporal elements. That is, they may work as an antecedent of …

Deep CNN and MLP-based vision systems for algae detection in automatic inspection of underwater pipelines
… a post-processing stage operating in spatial and temporal domains, employing clustering of neighboring detection positions and a region interception framebuffer. The performances of MLP, employing different descriptors, and CNN classifiers are compared in real-world scenarios. It is shown that the …

Hierarchical Visual Content Modelling and Query based on Trees
… hierarchical tree structures in the spatial and temporal domains forms an important step to bridge the semantic salient gap. Salient regions are identified using region analysis, rank ordered and documented in a tree for further analysis. A structure of this kind contains all the information in …

Novel Electrochemical Methods for Human Neurochemistry
… technologies span multiple organizational and temporal domains, but there remains a knowledge gap with respect to neuromodulator dynamics in humans. Recent efforts by members of the Montague Laboratory and collaborators adapted fast scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) from rodent experiments for use …

Optimal temporal planning using the plangraph framework
… to deal with more complex and difficult planning domains. One such innovation was Graphplan, first developed by Blum and Furst in 1995 and soon became one of the best approaches for optimal classical planning systems. Planning systems that use Graphplan’s plangraph framework can find optimal plans …

Content-prioritised video coding for British Sign Language communication.
… are developed to exploit the HVS spatial and temporal response mechanisms of BSL users (determined by Eye Movement Tracking) and the characteristics of BSL video image content. The methods implement an accurate model of HVS foveation, applied in the spatial and temporal domains, at the …

A dynamic visual analytics framework for complex temporal environments
… A novel framework was developed called the temporal Tri-event parameter based Dynamic Visual Analytics (TDVA). The TDVA framework was instantiated in two case studies, namely, a case study involving a hypothesis generation scenario, and a second case study involving a cohort-based hypothesis …

Quantitative rice mapping with remote sensing image time series
… proposed to correct the angular effects in multi-temporal remote sensing images. This correction is performed adaptively for different land cover types. In this way the unique bidirectional reflection property of each land cover type is accommodated. To separate cropping lands from other land …

Managing for long term sustainability of seafood production from bottom tendered wild capture fisheries
… hampered by limited information on the spatiotemporal extent and dynamics of fishing impacts. To improve our ability to assess and understand impacts to seafloor habitats, we: 1) developed a flexible and cohesive framework (i.e., the ‘Fishing Effects’ model) to assess impacts over large …

Distortion-Tolerant Communications with Correlated Information
… techniques by exploiting the spatial and/or temporal correlation in a broad range of wireless communication systems under various system configurations. Signals observed in wireless communication systems are often correlated in the spatial and/or temporal domains, and the correlation can be …

Analysis of the ground Coleoptera communities of agro-ecosystems within the Oriented Natural Reserve Pino d Aleppo (Ragusa, Sicily) and their use for assessing the environmental quality
… 3) Biodiversity is distributed in different temporal domains. 4) The biodiversity of ground fauna observed within the investigated agro-ecosystems is not as high on average, both for Families and for the species complex of Carabidae, Tenebrionidae and Staphylinidae, than that found in natural …
