Toward an instance theory of automatization

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a theory in which automatization is construed as the acquisition of a domainspeciSc knowledge base, formed of separate representations, instances, of each exposure to the task.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fast and effective prediction of microRNA/target duplexes

TL;DR: A program is presented, RNA-hybrid, that predicts multiple potential binding sites of miRNAs in large target RNAs and applied this method to the prediction of Drosophila miRNA targets in 3'UTRs and coding sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Noise power spectral density estimation based on optimal smoothing and minimum statistics

TL;DR: An unbiased noise estimator is developed which derives the optimal smoothing parameter for recursive smoothing of the power spectral density of the noisy speech signal by minimizing a conditional mean square estimation error criterion in each time step.
Journal ArticleDOI

FAB-MAP: Probabilistic Localization and Mapping in the Space of Appearance

TL;DR: A probabilistic approach to the problem of recognizing places based on their appearance that can determine that a new observation comes from a previously unseen place, and so augment its map, and is particularly suitable for online loop closure detection in mobile robotics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasticity in small-sized metallic systems: Intrinsic versus extrinsic size effect

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of metal-based material classes whose properties as a function of external size have been investigated and provide a critical discussion on the combined effects of intrinsic and extrinsic sizes on the material deformation behavior.
