From Face Perception to Individual Recognition: The Missing Link
<p>Recognizing other individuals is a key social aspect of our everyday lives. To recognize a familiar individual, we must establish a link between sensory inputs and a representation of that individual held in memory. In primates, faces play a particularly important role on the sensory side of …

Individual recognition from low quality and occluded images and videos using GAN
Face recognition in the wild is one of the most interesting problems in the present world. Many algorithms with high performance have already been proposed and applied in real-world applications. However, the problem of recognising degraded faces from low-quality images and videos mostly remains …

A few days of a robot's life in the human's world : toward incremental individual recognition
… robotic creature for exploring the task of face recognition through natural interaction in an incremental and unsupervised fashion. The goal of this thesis is to advance toward a framework which would allow robots to incrementally "get to know" a set of familiar individuals in a natural and …

Dialects, Sex-specificity, and Individual Recognition in the Vocal Repertoire of the Puerto Rican Parrot (Amazona vittata)
… possibility of using vocalizations to identify individuals, determine the sex of individuals and determine the location of an individual's breeding territory. Objectives of this study included: 1) cataloguing and categorizing the vocal repertoire of A. vittata, 2) determining whether the vocal …

Recognition, Normative Reconstruction and Economic Justice: National and Transnational Perspectives
Drawing on Axel Honneth’s theory of recognition, this thesis seeks to develop a normative-reconstructive approach to the theory of justice for the economic sphere, reflecting domestic and transnational perspectives. In the first part, I first reconstruct and critically evaluate how Honneth’s views …

The acoustic discrimination and recognition of individual heterospecifics by humans: proximate and ultimate causes
… this is also possible with the vocalizations of individual non-primates. My thesis addresses this question from both the proximate and ultimate perspective. In Chapter 1, I introduce the mechanism behind the individual discrimination of conspecific and heterospecifics by their vocalizations. …

Aggressive vocalizations in feeding guanacos, Lama guanicoe
… causation of aggressive vocalizations, namely, individual and contextual variations in a feeding group of guanacos. In Paper 2, I apply the optimal deceit model to the guanaco feeding group and discuss an alternative hypothesis to interpret the functional significance of aggressive …

I See, Therefore I Think - The Role of Observed Realities on Cognition in Rooks (Corvus frugilegus) and African Grey Parrots (Psittacus erithacus)
… evidence of representation, whereas other individuals ranged between Stage 5a (single visible displacements) and 6a (single invisible displacements). Individual differences, past experiences, and behavioural characteristics are posited to underlie the lower performance of some, especially …

Machine learning methods for individual acoustic recognition in a species of field cricket
… ecosystem. Therefore, the ability to identify individual crickets is crucial as it enables ecologists to estimate important population metrics such as population densities, which in turn are used to investigate ecological questions pertaining to these insects. In this research, classification …

The Role of Male Vocal Signals During Male-Male Competition and Female Mate Choice in Greater Prairie-Chickens (<i>Tympanuchus cupido</i>)
… suggesting a potential for discrimination among individuals. In the lek-mating Greater Prairie-Chicken (<i>Tympanuchus cupido</i>), male vocalizations are an integral part of the ritualized display. We investigated whether variation among vocal characteristics of individual male Greater …

Intersexual Communication, Male Mate Preference, and Reproductive Energetics of the Polygynous Lizard, Anolis Carolinensis
