How Social Are Task Representations?

by Bernhard Hommel, Lorenza S. Colzato
"... ABSTRACT—The classical Simon effect shows that actions are carried out faster if they spatially correspond to the stimulus signaling them. Recent studies revealed that this is the case even when the two actions are carried out by different people; this finding has been taken to imply that task repre ..."

by an intimidating, competitive confederate). This result suggests that agents can represent self-generated and other-generated actions separately, but tend to relate or integrate these representations if the personal relationship between self and other has a positive valence. Tasks play a crucial role in people’s

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 ..."

Reconstruction and Representation of 3D Objects with Radial Basis Functions

by J. C. Carr, R. K. Beatson, J. B. Cherrie, T. J. Mitchell, W. R. Fright, B. C. McCallum, T. R. Evans - Computer Graphics (SIGGRAPH ’01 Conf. Proc.), pages 67–76. ACM SIGGRAPH , 2001
"... We use polyharmonic Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) to reconstruct smooth, manifold surfaces from point-cloud data and to repair incomplete meshes. An object's surface is defined implicitly as the zero set of an RBF fitted to the given surface data. Fast methods for fitting and evaluating RBFs al ..."

allow us to model large data sets, consisting of millions of surface points, by a single RBF---previously an impossible task. A greedy algorithm in the fitting process reduces the number of RBF centers required to represent a surface and results in significant compression and further computational

Integrated task representation for indirect interaction

by Robert P. Goldman, Stephanie Guerlain, Christopher Miller, David J. Musliner - In Working Notes of the AAAI Spring Symposium on Computational Models for Mixed-Initiative Interaction , 1997
"... We are developing mixed-initiative systems that provide users with flexible control over evolving processes. For such systems to be feasible, both users and automated agents must be able to operate at multiple levels of abstraction. We are designing mixed initiative systems organized around shared t ..."

task models to achieve this multi-level task sharing. These task models will allow both human and automated agents to view the ongoing state, to control tasks and to project future requirements. Our task models will have semantics, allowing a suitable interpreter to directly execute tasks for users. We

Finding structure in time

by Jeffrey L. Elman - COGNITIVE SCIENCE , 1990
"... Time underlies many interesting human behaviors. Thus, the question of how to represent time in connectionist models is very important. One approach is to represent time implicitly by its effects on processing rather than explicitly (as in a spatial representation). The current report develops a pro ..."

proposal along these lines first described by Jordan (1986) which involves the use of recurrent links in order to provide networks with a dynamic memory. In this approach, hidden unit patterns are fed back to themselves; the internal representations which develop thus reflect task demands in the context

Recursive Distributed Representations

by Jordan B. Pollack - Artificial Intelligence , 1990
"... A long-standing difficulty for connectionist modeling has been how to represent variable-sized recursive data structures, such as trees and lists, in fixed-width patterns. This paper presents a connectionist architecture which automatically develops compact distributed representations for such compo ..."

Multitask Learning,”

by Rich Caruana , Lorien Pratt , Sebastian Thrun , 1997
"... Abstract. Multitask Learning is an approach to inductive transfer that improves generalization by using the domain information contained in the training signals of related tasks as an inductive bias. It does this by learning tasks in parallel while using a shared representation; what is learned for ..."

Parallel Networks that Learn to Pronounce English Text

by Terrence J. Sejnowski, Charles R. Rosenberg - COMPLEX SYSTEMS , 1987
"... This paper describes NETtalk, a class of massively-parallel network systems that learn to convert English text to speech. The memory representations for pronunciations are learned by practice and are shared among many processing units. The performance of NETtalk has some similarities with observed h ..."

Hierarchical Models of Object Recognition in Cortex

by Maximilian Riesenhuber, Tomaso Poggio , 1999
"... The classical model of visual processing in cortex is a hierarchy of increasingly sophisticated representations, extending in a natural way the model of simple to complex cells of Hubel and Wiesel. Somewhat surprisingly, little quantitative modeling has been done in the last 15 years to explore th ..."

Solving multiclass learning problems via error-correcting output codes

by Thomas G. Dietterich, Ghulum Bakiri - JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH , 1995
"... Multiclass learning problems involve nding a de nition for an unknown function f(x) whose range is a discrete set containing k>2values (i.e., k \classes"). The de nition is acquired by studying collections of training examples of the form hx i;f(x i)i. Existing approaches to multiclass l ..."

We also demonstrate that this approach is robust with respect to changes in the size of the training sample, the assignment of distributed representations to particular classes, and the application of over tting avoidance techniques such as decision-tree pruning. Finally,we show
