Following the turbulence and persecution in the 1920s and lence and persecution in the 1920s and 1930s some of a later generation of mid-1930s some of a later generation of mid-European psychiatrists e...

ROBERT CUMMINS, PIERRE POIRIER and MARTIN ROTH EPISTEMOLOGICAL STRATA AND THE RULES OF RIGHT REASON

It has been commonplace in epistemology since its inception to idealize away from computational resource constraints, i.e., from the constraints of time and memory. One thought is that a kind of ideal rationality can be specified that ignores the constraints imposed by limited time and memory, and that actual cognitive performance can be seen as an interaction between the norms of ideal rationa...

My research focuses on the computational foundations of intelligent behavior. We develop theories and systems pertaining to intelligent behavior using a unified methodology – at the heart of which is the idea that learning has a central role in intelligence. We attempt to understand the role of learning in supporting intelligent inference and use this understanding to develop systems that learn...

Jürgen Roth: Immunogold master

G lycosylation, the synthesis of branched sugar chains on proteins, is a posttranslational modifi ca-tion commonly found on membrane and secretory proteins. Glycosylation is important for proper protein folding, and the composition of the sugar chains can also be used to track a glycoprotein's maturation. When Jürgen Roth started working on glycoproteins, researchers had only recently begun pro...
