Intelligence Without Representation

by Rodney Brooks - Artificial Intelligence , 1991
"... Artificial intelligence research has foundered on the issue of representation. When intelligence is approached in an incremental manner, with strict reliance on interfacing to the real world through perception and action, reliance on representation disappears. In this paper we outline our approach t ..."

to incrementally building complete intelligent Creatures. The fundamental decomposition of the intelligent system is not into independent information processing units which must interface with each other via representations. Instead, the intelligent system is decomposed into independent and parallel activity

A theory for multiresolution signal decomposition : the wavelet representation

by G. Mallat - IEEE Transaction on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence , 1989
"... Abstract-Multiresolution representations are very effective for analyzing the information content of images. We study the properties of the operator which approximates a signal at a given resolution. We show that the difference of information between the approximation of a signal at the resolutions ..."

Inductive learning algorithms and representations for text categorization,”

by Susan Dumais , John Platt , Mehran Sahami , David Heckerman - in Proceedings of the International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management, , 1998
"... ABSTRACT Text categorization -the assignment of natural language texts to one or more predefined categories based on their content -is an important component in many information organization and management tasks. We compare the effectiveness of five different automatic learning algorithms for text ..."

The Contourlet Transform: An Efficient Directional Multiresolution Image Representation

by Minh N. Do, Martin Vetterli - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON IMAGE PROCESSING
"... The limitations of commonly used separable extensions of one-dimensional transforms, such as the Fourier and wavelet transforms, in capturing the geometry of image edges are well known. In this paper, we pursue a “true” two-dimensional transform that can capture the intrinsic geometrical structure t ..."

that is key in visual information. The main challenge in exploring geometry in images comes from the discrete nature of the data. Thus, unlike other approaches, such as curvelets, that first develop a transform in the continuous domain and then discretize for sampled data, our approach starts with a discrete

An Information-Theoretic Definition of Similarity

by Dekang Lin - In Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Machine Learning , 1998
"... Similarity is an important and widely used concept. Previous definitions of similarity are tied to a particular application or a form of knowledge representation. We present an informationtheoretic definition of similarity that is applicable as long as there is a probabilistic model. We demonstrate ..."

Information Theory and Statistics

by S. Kullback , 1968
"... Entropy and relative entropy are proposed as features extracted from symbol sequences. Firstly, a proper Iterated Function System is driven by the sequence, producing a fractaMike representation (CSR) with a low computational cost. Then, two entropic measures are applied to the CSR histogram of th ..."

Modeling the Shape of the Scene: A Holistic Representation of the Spatial Envelope

by Aude Oliva, Antonio Torralba - International Journal of Computer Vision , 2001
"... In this paper, we propose a computational model of the recognition of real world scenes that bypasses the segmentation and the processing of individual objects or regions. The procedure is based on a very low dimensional representation of the scene, that we term the Spatial Envelope. We propose a se ..."

Comparison of parametric representations for monosyllabic word recognition in continuously spoken sentences

by Steven B. Davis, Paul Mermelstein - ACOUSTICS, SPEECH AND SIGNAL PROCESSING, IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON , 1980
"... Several parametric representations of the acoustic signal were compared as to word recognition performance in a syllable-oriented continuous speech recognition system. The vocabulary in-cluded many phonetically similar monosyllabic words, therefore the emphasis was on ability to retain phonetically ..."

A solution to Plato’s problem: The latent semantic analysis theory of acquisition, induction, and representation of knowledge

by Thomas K Landauer, Susan T. Dutnais - PSYCHOLOGICAL REVIEW , 1997
"... How do people know as much as they do with as little information as they get? The problem takes many forms; learning vocabulary from text is an especially dramatic and convenient case for research. A new general theory of acquired similarity and knowledge representation, latent semantic analysis (LS ..."
