Adaptive Resonance Theory, or ART, is a cognitive and neural theory of how the brain autonomously learns to categorize, recognize, and predict objects and events in a changing world. This article reviews classical and recent developments of ART, and provides a synthesis of concepts, principles, mechanisms, architectures, and the interdisciplinary data bases that they have helped to explain and ...

We introduce a new brane-world model in which the bulk solution consists of outgoing plane waves. This is an exact solution to string theory with no naked singularities. The recently discussed self-tuning mechanism to cancel the cosmological constant on a brane is naturally incorporated. We show that even if the vacuum energy on the brane changes, e.g. due to a phase transition, the brane geome...

This talk aims to introduce LATEX users to XSL-FO. It does not attempt to give an exhaustive view of XSL-FO, but allows a LATEX user to get started. We show the common and different points between these two approaches of word processing.

We pose 3D scene-understanding as a problem of parsing in a grammar. A grammar helps us capture the compositional structure of real-word objects, e.g., a chair is composed of a seat, a back-rest and some legs. Having multiple rules for an object helps us capture structural variations in objects, e.g., a chair can optionally also have arm-rests. Finally, having rules to capture composition at di...

these two girls' productions, particularly the various types of distortion of the naturalistic appearance of objects, are also employed by the most original and successful artists, for instance, Paul Klee and Picasso. She says we do not know whether these artists achieved this mode of expression through subjective experimentation, or by being influenced by seeing the art of mentally disturbed p...

A method of reconstruction (ART) has recently been proposed (Gordon, Bender & Herman, 1970) which consists in Qeratively changing a trial structure until its projections are consistent tith the original projections of the unknown structure. It is shown that in general ART produces errcneous reconstructions. An alternative itetative method is proposed which will give correct reconstructions unde...

3D geometry mockups of single images of indoor scenes are useful for many applications including interior design, content creation for virtual reality, and image manipulation. Unfortunately, manually modeling a scene from a single image is tedious and requires expert knowledge. We aim to construct scene mockups from single images automatically. However, automatically inferring 3D scenes from 2D...

This paper presents A Place for Art – an iPad app that allows users to explore an art collection via semantically linked pathways that are generated using Formal Concept Analysis. The app embraces the information seeking approach of exploration and is based on the idea that showing context and relationships among objects in a museum collection augments an interpretive experience. The fundamenta...

This paper gives an overview of the state-of-the-art technology and standardization status of lightweight cryptography, which can be implemented efficiently in constrained devices. This technology enables secure and efficient communication between networked smart objects.
