Uncertainty of visual measurement and efficient allocation of sensory resources
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review the reasoning underlying two approaches to combination of sensory uncertainties. First approach is noncommittal, making no assumptions about properties of uncertainty or parameters of stimulation, as in Gepshtein, Tyukin, and Albright (2010). Then we explain the relationship between this approach and the one commonly used in modeling “higher level” aspects of sensory systems, such as in visual cue integration, where assumptions are made about properties of stimulation. The two approaches follow similar logic, except in one case maximal uncertainty is minimized and in the other minimal certainty is maximized. Then we demonstrate how optimal solutions are found to the problem of resource allocation under uncertainty.

Optimal measurement of visual motion across spatial and temporal scales
Sensory systems use limited resources to mediate the perception of a great variety of objects and events. Here a normative framework is presented for exploring how the problem of efficient allocation of resources can be solved in visual perception. Starting with a basic property of every measurement, captured by Gabor’s uncertainty relation about the location and frequency content of signals, p...
متن کاملAn Overview on the Applications of Spatial Analyses in the Management and Allocation of Hemodialysis Services
Introduction: The prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) reached about 13.4% in 2016. Among available treatment methods, hemodialysis is the most common way used for the treatment of patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), the last stage of CKD. On average, these patients refer to hemodialysis centers three times a week. The high patients referral rate indicates the importance of prop...

متن کاملAllocation of Distributed Energy Resources for Microgrid Optimal Scheduling Considering Uncertainty
In this paper, a microgrid including a solar panel, a battery energy storage system and a diesel generator as the backup source are optimally is designed. The microgrid is considered as a part of a distribution network, that could be considered as local area. As microgrids can operate in grid-connected mode, the proposed algorithm investigates the minimization of the distribution network power ...
متن کاملA Simulated Annealing Algorithm within the Variable Neighbourhood Search Framework to Solve the Capacitated Facility Location-Allocation Problem
In this study, we discuss the capacitated facility location-allocation problem with uncertain parameters in which the uncertainty is characterized by given finite numbers of scenarios. In this model, the objective function minimizes the total expected costs of transportation and opening facilities subject to the robustness constraint. To tackle the problem efficiently and effectively, an effici...
