Non-Metrical Navigation Through Visual Path Control

We describe a new method for wide-area, non-metrical robot navigation which enables useful, purposeful motion indoors. Our method has two phases: a training phase, in which a human user directs a wheeled robot with an attached camera through an environment while occasionally supplying textual place names; and a navigation phase in which the user specifies goal place names (again as text), and t...

We say that point x ∈ R2 is sheltered by a continuum S ⊂ R2 if x does not belong to the unbounded component of R2 \ S. Suppose that points a and b are the endpoints of each of three arcs A0, A1 and A2 contained in R2. We prove that there is an arc B ⊂ A0 ∪A1 ∪A2 with its endpoints a and b such that each point of B is sheltered by the union of each two of the arcs

Non-Literal Word Sense Identification Through Semantic Network Path Schemata

When computer programs disambiguate words in a sentence, they often encounter non-literal or novel usages not included in their lexicon. In a recent study, Georgia Green (personal communication) estimated that 17% to 20% of the content word senses encountered in various types of normal English text are not fisted in the dictionary. While these novel word senses are generally valid, they occur i...
