Joint representation classification for collective face recognition

Sparse representation based classification (SRC) is popularly used in many applications such as face recognition, and implemented in two steps: representation coding and classification. For a given set of testing images, SRC codes every image over the base images as a sparse representation then classifies it to the class with the least representation error. This scheme utilizes an individual re...

Collective Intention Recognition and Elder Care

This paper is twofold. First, we present a new method for collective intention recognition based on mainstream philosophical accounts. Second, we extend our previous Elder Care system with collective intention recognition ability for assisting a couple of elderly people. The previous system was just capable of individual intention recognition, and so it has now been enabled to deal with situati...

Limited bandwidth recognition of collective behaviors in bio-inspired swarms

Models of swarming and modes of controlling them are numerous; however, to date swarm researchers have mostly ignored a fundamental problem that impedes scalable human interaction with large bio-inspired robot swarms, namely, how do you know what the swarm is doing if you can’t observe every agent in the collective? Some swarm models exhibit multiple emergent behaviors from the same parameters....

COLLECTIVE MEMORY PERFORMANCE Running head: COLLECTIVE MEMORY PERFORMANCE The Collective Memory Performance in a Recognition Memory Task

I investigate the collective memory performance in a recognition memory task in which each individual in a group independently retrieves memories related to the same study items. For each test item in the recognition memory task, the aggregated memory judgment is based on the average of confidence ratings across individuals. Using a Bayesian Signal Detection Theory (SDT) analysis of the confide...
