Adaptive Look-Ahead Planning
TL;DR: A new adaptive connectionist planning method that determines good actions directly from the knowledge of the model network (strategic level) by gradient descent in action space.

Robotic Mapping with Polygonal Random Fields
Mark A. Paskin,Sebastian Thrun +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a probabilistic mapping technique based on polygonal random fields (PRF), which is based upon a consistent probability distribution over environments which avoids the incorrect independence assumptions made by occupancy grids.
AutomaticConversionofMeshAnimationsinto Skeleton-basedAnimations
TL;DR: This work proposes a new method that automatically extracts a plausible kinematic skeleton, skeletal motion parameters, as well as surface skinning weights from arbitrary mesh animations, so that deforming mesh sequences can be fully-automatically transformed into fullyrigged virtual subjects.

MABSplit: Faster Forest Training Using Multi-Armed Bandits
TL;DR: In this paper , a node-splitting subroutine, dubbed MABSplit, is proposed to efficiently find split points when constructing decision trees, which leads to 100x faster training without any decrease in generalization performance.

Learning topological maps: an alternative approach
Arno Bücken,Sebastian Thrun +1 more
TL;DR: This paper wants to show a possibility to learn topological maps of a large-scale indoor environment autonomously and to demonstrate autonomous real-time control of a mobile robot.
