AbstractIn this paper, we propose the application of standard decomposition approaches to find local correlations in multimodal data. In a test scenario, we apply these methods to correlate the local shape of turbine blades with their associated aerodynamic flow fields. We compare several decomposition algorithms, i.e., k-Means, Principal Component Analysis, Non-negative Matrix Factorization and Uni-orthogonal Non-negative Matrix Factorization, with rega...

AbstractThe standard approach for teaching robots to communicate via speech is by providing the structure, statistics, and semantics of speech through a supervised, offline learning process. This process imposes constraints like a high degree of specialization to certain, predefined tasks. The resulting system is very rigid and lacks the ability to acquire new skills (e.g. words and their semantics). In contrast to this, children acquire language through...

AbstractAutomatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems are nowadays integrated into products like computer operating systems, automobiles, or hotlines. ASR system are for instance used by p hysicians for el ectronic medical record where it replaces tr aditional dictation and subsequent secretarial transcription [1]. The survey in [1] shows that the physicians tend to be less enthusiastic with the introduction of the new technology after having used it for so...

AbstractIn online applications, where training samples sequentially arise during execution, incremental learning schemes have to be applied. In this paper we propose an adaptive Normalized Gaussian Network model (NGnet) suitable for incremental learning. Following a statistical account we present a truly sequential training procedure. Key to the learning algorithm are local unit manipulation mechanisms for network growth and pruning which continuously ad...
Mathias Rudolph , "Representing Feature Changes Caused by Actions", HTW Dresden, 2010.
AbstractIn Programming by Demonstration, to solve complex tasks, a robot needs the ability to split a task into subgoals and find actions that will fulfill these subgoals. This is called planning. To be able to plan, the actions need to be stored in an inferable way. A simple generalizable method to store actions and their results is therefore one step into the direction of giving a robot the ability to solve complex tasks. This thesis proposes an approa...

AbstractAt least 80% of the traffic accidents in the world are caused by human mistakes. Whether drivers are too tired, drunk or speeding, most accidents have their root in the improper behavior of drivers. Many of these accidents could be avoided if cars were equipped with some kind of intelligent system able to detect inappropriate actions of the driver and autonomously intervene by controlling the car in emergency situations. Such an advanced driver a...

AbstractBiological development is governed by gene regulatory networks (GRNs), although detailed genetic and cellular mechanisms underlying biological development remain unclear. It is believed that some GRN motifs have played an important role in the evolution of biological development by means of analyzing biological data. In this work, we investigate in a computational model for development to verify if these motifs can also be evolved as in biology, ...
