Robots That Learn Language: A Developmental Approach to Situated Human-Robot Conversations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider spoken language communication between humans and robots, which is one of the most natural interfaces for human-robot interaction and propose methods that satisfy the following requirements: the ability of the robot to share experiences with the user in the physical world, the ability to sense physical environments as well as the behaviour of users, and the capability to change their behaviour in response to the situation in order to support human activities in everyday life.

Acoustic censusing using automatic vocalization classification and identity recognition
TL;DR: The approach introduced here offers a direct mechanism for using individual vocal variability to create simpler and more accurate population assessment tools in vocally active species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mice alternate between discrete strategies during perceptual decision-making
TL;DR: This paper analyzed data from mouse and human decision-making experiments and found that choice behavior relies on an interplay among multiple interleaved strategies, which persist for tens to hundreds of trials before switching, and often switch multiple times within a session.

Estimating the parameters of general frequency modulated signals
Tod Luginbuhl,Peter Willett +1 more
TL;DR: This paper develops the general frequency modulation tracker (GFMT) for one or more GFM signals in noise using the expectation/conditional maximization (ECM) algorithm that is an extension of the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm.

The IBD process along four chromosomes.
TL;DR: This model will facilitate inference of identity by descent among the four chromosomes of a pair of individuals, using data at dense SNP loci among which there may be linkage disequilibrium.

An inequality with applications to statistical estimation for probabilistic functions of Markov processes and to a model for ecology
Leonard E. Baum,J. A. Eagon +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a polynomial with nonnegative coefficients homogeneous of degree d in its variables is shown to be polynomially homogeneous unless 3(3(x))>P(x), where 3(x)=x.

The Gamma Function
Willi Freeden,Martin Gutting +1 more
TL;DR: The Gamma function as discussed by the authors is a generalized factorial function that can be used to estimate the probability distribution of a probability distribution, and it has been used in many applications, e.g., as part of probability distributions.
