The hippocampus is essential for spatial navigation, which may involve sequential learning. However, how the hippocampus encodes new sequences in familiar environments is unknown. To study the impact of novel spatial sequences on the activity of hippocampal neurons, we monitored hippocampal ensembles while rats learned to switch from two familiar trajectories to a new one in a familiar environm...

Many countries have policies aimed at creating jobs in depressed areas with high unemployment rates. In standard spatial equilibrium models with perfectly competitive labor and land markets, local job creation efforts are distortionary. We develop a stylized model of frictional local labor markets with the goal of studying the efficiency of unemployment differences across areas and the potentia...

We consider the problem of how to grasp an object given that we know its desired placement location. Instead of making path planning an intrinsic part of the grasp point evaluation algorithm, we attempt to evaluate the “goodness” of certain grasps by calculating metrics on the grasps and object point clouds themselves. This work aims to capture human intuitions about good grasps for certain pla...

In this paper we describe the language identification system built within the Finno-Ugric Languages and the Internet project for the Discriminating between Similar Languages (DSL) shared task in LT4VarDial workshop at RANLP-2015. The system reached fourth place in normal closed submissions (94.7% accuracy) and second place in closed submissions with the named entities blinded (93.0% accuracy).
