Fleeting but sweet

The Occasion Fleeting

Information in Fleeting Opportunities

This paper focuses on the study of information in fleeting opportunities. An application example is the evaluation of business proposals by venture capitalists. The authors formulate the generic problem as a dynamic program where the decision maker can either accept a given deal directly, reject it directly, or seek further information on its potential and then decide whether to accept it or no...

Fleeting Social Ties

Fleeting Social Ties addresses the need for real time locationbased services for gaining a local’s perspective about a particular city. Tourist guides are often clichéd and do not address the genuine business traveler’s or vacationer’s desire to experience local and authentic culture as individuals native to that location. This application seeks to bridge this gap by creating fleeting social ti...

Fast but fleeting: adaptive motor learning processes associated with aging and cognitive decline.

Motor learning has been shown to depend on multiple interacting learning processes. For example, learning to adapt when moving grasped objects with novel dynamics involves a fast process that adapts and decays quickly-and that has been linked to explicit memory-and a slower process that adapts and decays more gradually. Each process is characterized by a learning rate that controls how strongly...

Set-membership state estimation with fleeting data

This paper deals with offline nonlinear state estimation where measurements are available only when some given equality conditions are satisfied. For this type of problems, which are often met in robot localization when sonar or radar are involved, the data are qualified as fleeting because the measurements are available only at some given unknown dates. In this paper, the first approach able t...
