The motion dazzle hypothesis posits that high contrast geometric patterns can cause difficulties in tracking a moving target and has been argued to explain the patterning of animals such as zebras. Research date only tested small number patterns, offering equivocal support for hypothesis. Here, we take genetic programming approach allow evolve based on their fitness (time taken capture) thus fi...

This paper describes the IBM team's approach for the textual entailment recognition task (RITE) in NTCIR-9 [10] with experimental results for four Japanese subtasks: BC, MC, EXAM, and RITE4QA. To tackle the data set with complicated syntactic and semantic phenomena, the authors used a classi cation method to predict entailment relations between two di erent texts. These features were used for c...

This paper describes a new Map-Matching method relying on the use of Particle Filtering. Since this method implements a multi-hypothesis road-tracking strategy, it is able to handle ambiguous situations arising at junctions or when positioning accuracy is low. In this Bayesian framework, map-matching integrity can be monitored using normalized innovation residuals. An interesting characteristic...

The object recognition system presented combines on-line feature prediction with an iterative multisen-sor matching algorithm. Matching begins with an initial object type and pose hypothesis. An iterative generate-and-test procedure then reenes the pose as well as the sensor-to-sensor registration for separate range and electro optical sensors. During matching, object features predicted to be v...

We address the problem of recognizing 3D rigid freeform objects using dense range data when the objects can be imaged from arbitrary viewpoints and the objects vary in shape and complexity. We propose a multi-level matching strategy that employs shape spectral analysis and features derived from the COSMOS representations of free-form objects for fast and efficient recognition. We demonstrate th...

Analyses of policies to reduce gasoline consumption have focused on two effects, a compositional effect on the fuel economy of the automotive fleet and a utilization effect on how much people drive. However, the literature has missed a third effect: a matching effect, in which the policy changes how high-utilization households are matched to fuel-efficient vehicles in equilibrium. We show that ...

This paper describes the fifth participation of the UAIC textual entailment engine at the RTE shared task. Our approach is rule based and makes use of the notion of predicational semantics for detecting entailment. The system used is based on the system built for the RTE-6 challenge, which we have further modified and improved for the current task. The system works by attempting to match every ...
