摘要:
Described is a recall system that uses spiking neuron networks to identify an unknown external stimulus. The system operates by receiving a first input signal (having spatial-temporal data) that originates from a known external stimulus. The spatial-temporal data is converted into a first spike train. A first set of polychronous groups (PCGs) are generated as a result of the first spike train. Thereafter, a second input signal originating from an unknown external stimulus is received. The spatial-temporal data of the second input signal is converted into a second spike train. A second set of PCGs are then generated as a result of the second spike train. Finally, the second set of PCGs is recognized as being sufficiently similar to the first set of PCGs to identify the unknown external stimulus as the known external stimulus.

Described is a system for representing, storing, and reconstructing an input signal. The system constructs an index of unique polychronous groups (PCGs) from a spiking neuron network. Thereafter, a basis set of spike codes is generated from the unique PCGs. An input signal can then be received, with the input signal being spike encoded using the basis set of spike codes from the unique PCGs. The input signal can then be reconstructed by looking up in a reconstruction table, for each unique PCG in the basis set in temporal order according to firing times, anchor neurons. Using a neuron assignment table, an output location can be looked up for each anchor neuron to place a value based on the firing times of each unique PCG. Finally, the output locations of the anchor neurons can be compiled to reconstruct the input signal.

Provided is a system and method for tracking and identifying a target in an area of interest based on a comparison of predicted target behavior or movement and sensed target behavior or movement. Incorporating aspects of both particle diffusion and mobility constraint models with target intent derivations, the system may continuously track a target while simultaneously refining target identification information. Alternatively, the system and method are applied to reacquire a target track based on prioritized intents and predicted target location.

Disclosed is a computerized data display system including a computer operating in accord with a window display management system for the display and control of a plurality of data windows on a display screen of a display device. The data windows are displayed on the display screen in a spatial relation corresponding to the field of view seen from a preselected viewing location selected by means of a control signal provided as an input to the computer. A head coupled image display device, coupled to the display screen of the display device, is adapted to display the data windows appearing on the display screen of the display device separately to each eye of a user to create a binocular, stereoscopic virtual screen image to the user that has a virtual screen size independent of the size of the display screen of the display device. A user controlled input position sensor, coupled to the computer, is adapted for generating the position control signal as an input to the computer to selectively change the selected viewing location.

A system and method for encoding the speech of multiple speakers for transmission on a limited medium such as ISDN or ADSL. The system and method encode one or more “dominant” speakers on a first channel, and merges all other speakers into a second channel. A “dominant” speaker may be defined according to the needs of the application, but intuitively it is a speaker in a collaboration session who has the “floor”. The method and system transmit speech through a teleconferencing system having an available bandwidth. Speech from a speaking one, or ones, of the plurality of participants is passed while speech from non-speaking participants is rejected. The system responds to the speech from the one, or ones of the speaking participants passed by the speech detector, and determines which of the detected speaking one, or ones, thereof is a dominant speaker. The system allocates one portion of the available bandwidth to the determined dominant speaker and merges the non-dominant participant(s) onto a second bandwidth portion of the available bandwidth.

A system and method for producing and receiving electronically-mediated collaboration is presented. The electronically-mediated collaboration system and method include a high-fidelity audio system as well as application and cursor sharing, and a session manager module to synchronize among participants. In one embodiment, the system includes an eye contact collaboratory that manipulates video and eye position input to synthesize virtual camera images which simulate ordinary gaze behavior in a collaboratory system. An audio component optionally spatializes the voices of the participants to appear to coincide with their images.

Method and apparatus for an adversarial planner to create a first plan for a first agent and a second plan for a second agent, wherein the first and second plans are independent, identify conflicts between the first and second plans, and address the identified conflicts by planning a contingency branch for one of the agents that resolves the conflict in the agent's favor, and splicing that new branch into the agent's plan.

A contingency planning system apparatus including a world description subsystem responsive to data representing a description of the world related to a planning problem and configured to instantiate a plurality of world codelets in a codelet workspace. A coderack subsystem is responsive to a slipnet network and is configured to instantiate a plurality of codelets in the codelet workspace each having one or more slots for binding with binding sites of lower level codelets and configured to monitor constraint changes thereto and propagate those changes to any related codelets. A temperature subsystem is configured to detect when temperature in the codelet workspace has reached a predetermined level indicating a satisfactory solution to the planning problem has been achieved. A plan extractor is responsive to the temperature subsystem and is configured to extract one or more contingency plans from the codelet workspace when the predetermined temperature is reached and configured to cause the temperature subsystem change the temperature in the codelet workspace such that the plurality of codelets will develop new bindings representing new solutions to the planning problem.
摘要:
A system and method for decentralized cooperative control of a team of agents for geographic and other search tasks. The approach is behavior-based and uses probability particle approach to the search problem. Agents are attracted to probability distributions in the form of virtual particles of probability that represent hypotheses about the existence of objects of interest in a geographic area or a data-space. Reliance on dependable, high-bandwidth communication is reduced by modeling the movements of other team members and the objects of interest between periodic update messages.
