Graph dynamics : learning and representation
… intelligence as means for symbolic knowledge representation. A graph is nothing more than a collection of symbols connected to each other in some fashion. For example, in computer vision a graph with five nodes and some edges can represent a table - where nodes correspond to particular shape …

Reference and Representation in Down's Syndrome
… To maintain coherent discourse both linguistic and non-linguistic information must be integrated and maintained in a mental representation of current discourse. The ability of children with Down's syndrome to use such a mental representation has been assessed in this study. The ability of adults …

Learning and representation of relational categories
… qualitatively different from featural concepts, and they are also learned in a qualitatively different manner. Experiment 1 showed that relational category learning with probabilistic structures can be improved by comparing systematic pairs of exemplars, where shared relations between the …

Search and Representation in Program Synthesis
… (such as examples or language) is a longstanding goal of AI. Building such systems would allow us to achieve both scientific and practical goals. From a scientific perspective, program synthesis may provide a way to learn compact, generalizable rules from a small number of examples, …

The Visualization and Representation of Electroacoustic Music
In Chapters 1 and 2 there are definitions and a review of electroacoustic music, and then visualization generally and as applied to music. Chapter 3 is a review of specific and relevant literature as regards to the visualization of electroacoustic music. Chapter 4 introduces the concepts of …

Embodied Cognition and Representation in Domesticated Dogs
… dog cognition has increased in the last decade and is set to keep on growing as we learn more about the animals with which we have associated for so long. This thesis argues that the principles of embodied cognition can be productively applied to the study of dogs. Adoption of these principles …

Quantum Codes, Transversal Gates, and Representation Theory
… t-groups under a twisting by an irreducible representation. We then apply representation theoretic methods to the Knill-Laflamme error correction conditions to show that twisted unitary t-groups automatically correspond to quantum codes with distance d = t + 1. Moreover, these methods produce …

Context-based multimedia semantics modelling and representation
… World Wide Web, increase in processing power, and more network bandwidth have contributed to the proliferation of digital multimedia data. Since multimedia data has become a critical resource in many organisations, there is an increasing need to gain efficient access to data, in order to share, …

Three papers on congressional communication and representation
… officials communicate with their constituents and whether voters can tell if their interests are being represented. Specifically, I examine whether political communication strategies may inadvertently lead to suboptimal representation. In my first paper, I evaluate whether members of Congress …

How Things Seem: Arbitrariness, Transparency, and Representation
… the heart of this dissertation are Arbitrariness and Transparency. A representation is arbitrary with respect to content to the extent that the vehicle of representation (brain states, phenomenal experiences, pen marks, soundwaves, etc.) could have represented different content. A representation …

Image analysis and representation for textile design classification
A good image representation is vital for image comparision and classification; it may affect the classification accuracy and efficiency. The purpose of this thesis was to explore novel and appropriate image representations. Another aim was to investigate these representations for image …

Normativity and Representation in Kant's Theory of Cognition
… examines various aspects of normativity and representation as they figure in Kant’s theory of cognition. In particular, I argue that Kant holds that certain forms of representational content constitutively depend on normative constraint. This applies to all of the kinds of content that …

Visual Objects and Environments: Capture, Extraction, and Representation
… availability of affordable computational power and graphics rendering capabilities is enabling the creation of realistic imagery that are widely used today in special effects and animation. New forms of visual media with a higher degree of interactivity, such as video games and virtual reality …

Visual perception and representation of objects and faces
… is too often ill-posed due to the disparate and sparse choice of stimuli. To address this problem, we have developed a flexible new technique called Random Image Structure Evolution (RISE). In the simplest case, RISE involves the presentation of image sequences depicting the evolution of a …

Deligne categories and representation stability in positive characteristic
We study the asymptotic behavior of the representation theory of symmetric groups Sn, in positive characteristic as n grows to [infinity], with the goal of understanding and generalizing the Deligne categories Rep(St) as well as the theory of FI-modules and representation stability in the positive …

Extraction and representation of encyclopedic knowledge from a dictionary
… practical application of prototype theory to the representation of world or encyclopedic knowledge. The tool is designed to extract such knowledge from dictionary entries and to represent it in a network of frames. An application needing encyclopedic knowledge would rely on some separate utility …
