Based on affordance theory, humans are said to perceive invariant structures for cognizing the object/environment for generating behaviors. In this paper, the authors present a method to extract invariant structures of objects from visual raw images, based on object manipulation experiences using a humanoid robot. The method consists of two training phases. The first phase utilizes Recurrent Neural Network with Parametric Bias (RN-NPB) to self-organize dynamical object features extracted during active sensing with objects. The second phase trains a hierarchical neural network attached to RNNPB for associating object images and robot motions with self-organized object features. Analysis of the model has uncovered static objects features that are closely related to dynamic object motions, such as round or stable.","PeriodicalId":443068,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Informatics Education and Research for Knowledge-Circulating Society (icks 2008)","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133109150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the server can deliver programs that meet users' preferences, clients have to wait until their selected contents are delivered. Conventional methods reduce the waiting time by producing an effective broadcast schedule. These do not consider the possibilities that a content is selected. However, by considering the transition probability of selective contents, the waiting time can be reduced further. We have proposed a broadcasting system in grid environments, called BroGrid. In this paper, we propose a scheduling method on selective contents broadcasting considering transition probability in BroGrid environments. Our proposed method reduces the waiting time by allocating broadcast channels that have same bandwidth as the contents consumption rate and scheduling contents considering transition probability.","PeriodicalId":443068,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Informatics Education and Research for Knowledge-Circulating Society (icks 2008)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115828269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Bio-logging as a Method for Understanding Natural Systems","authors":"R.W. Davis","doi":"10.1109/ICKS.2008.13","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICKS.2008.13","url":null,"abstract":"Obtaining new information on the natural world involves direct observation, measurement and experimentation. However, this can be challenging for species that are very small, cryptic, sensitive, fragile, rare, dangerous or live in extreme environments. As a result, information on the life history, behavior, physiology, and ecology of many animals is scant or non-existent. The scientific field of bio-logging has existed for many years, but recent advances in electronic miniaturization and digital information processing and storage are providing new insights into the hidden lives of animals that can only be studied vicariously, that is, indirectly through the use of technology. Bio-logging generally involves an animal- borne instrument that monitors or records aspects of an animal's biology (e.g., behavior, movements, physiology) and its environment. For example, bio-logging instruments can record video or still images of animal behavior and record data from a variety of sensors that monitor location and locomotion (three-dimensional movement), physiology (body temperature, heart rate, blood oxygen concentration), and environmental variables (ambient temperature, light level, oxygen concentration, salinity, sound). This information is either stored for later recovery or transmitted immediately. In many cases, the initial challenge is locating the species, then attaching and recovering the instruments. However, as bio-logging technology becomes smaller and more data rich, we face the challenge of storing, classifying, analyzing, integrating, and disseminating the data and results. New methods of analysis will be necessary to handle the staggering volume of information. Creating data rich, virtual worlds in which to view and integrate data will require advanced computing capability. Data sharing and dissemination will enable broad collaboration, validation and interpretation of complex systems that attempt to understand, model and predict how animals function and interact with their environment at micro and macro scales and over time periods of seconds to centuries. The scientific field of bio-logging will provide basic knowledge on the function of free- ranging organisms at the individual and community level that will be needed to manage and conserve species and their habitats and to mitigate human impacts.","PeriodicalId":443068,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Informatics Education and Research for Knowledge-Circulating Society (icks 2008)","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134151878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Let A be a symmetric positive definite tridiagonal matrix defined by A = BT B, where B is bidiagonal. Then the so-called Kato-Temple bound gives a lower bound of the minimal singular value sigmam of B. In this paper we discuss how to apply the Kato-Temple inequality to shift of origin which appears in the mdLVs algorithm, for example, for computing all singular values of B. To make use of the Kato-Temple inequality a Rayleigh quotient for the matrix A = BT B and a right endpoint of interval where lambdam = sigmam 2 belongs are necessary. Then it is shown that the execution time of mdLVs with the standard shifts can be shorten by a possible choice of the generalized Newton bound or the Kato-Temple bound.","PeriodicalId":443068,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Informatics Education and Research for Knowledge-Circulating Society (icks 2008)","volume":"668 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122617367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
