As the Netflix Prize competition has demonstrated, matrix factorization models are superior to classic nearest-neighbor techniques for producing product recommendations, allowing the incorporation of additional information such as implicit feedback, temporal effects, and confidence levels. Modern

that weakly minimum phase nonlinear systems having relative degree 1 can be globally asymptotically stabilized by smooth state feedback, provided that suitable controllahilit$’-like rank conditions are satisfied. This result incorporates and extends a number of global asymptotic stabilization of certain

In this paper I consider a nonlinear generalization of Schroedinger Equation (MSE),which was introduced some years ago in [2] and [4]. It is shown that discretization in time and the introduction of suitable feedbacks can be seen as the basic step of numerical algorithms which compute time

A high flux Photon Beam Position Monitor (PBPM) has been designed, realized and installed at ELETTRA for increasing the beam stability with local-bump-orbit feedbacks (LF), for beam diagnostic and for beam alignment. An electronic equipment has been designed and built for the calculation

-stim-ulating. In this paper, we present a mechanism for an autonomous robot to regulate the intensi-ty of its social interactions with a human. Similar to the feedback from infant to caregiver, the robot uses expressive displays to modulate the interaction intensity. This mechanism is integrat-ed within a general framework

Abstract—This note is concerned with the problem of stabilizing a nonlinear continuous-time system by using sampled encoded measurements of the state. We demonstrate that global asymptotic stabilization is possible if a suitable relationship holds between the number of values taken by the encoder

facial shape and facial expression is formulated by this model in the form of parameters. This affine motion model is especially suitable to such a type of nonrigid motion as facial expressions. 2) Based on the affine model, we present a direct method of estimating the two-view motion parameters.
