The aim of this research is to develop a strat­ egy of reasoning under uncertainty in the context of the Fuzzy Inductive Reasoning methodology. This methodology allows the prediction of systems behavior by means of two different schemes. The first one corre­ sponds to a pattern prediction scheme, based exclusively on pattern rules. The second one corresponds to a purely Sugeno infer­ ence syste...

A method is presented for matching two scene descr ip t ions, each of which consists of a set of measured feature vectors w i th estimated uncer ta int i e s . The two scenes d i f f e r by a transformation that depends on a few unknown parameters. The method performs a search by sequent ia l ly matching features of one scene to those of the other scene, solv ing for the transformation paramete...

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) benign, systemic lymphadenitis, self limiting disease Pathologists Kikuchi and Fujimoto in Japan in 1972. The incidence of KFD is unknown. KFD is up to 4 times commoner in women. It presents as lymphadenopathy mainly involving the cervical region, but can occur in any lymph node and even in extra nodal sites. Fever is associated with lymph node enlargement in half...

by Michael Lippman It is always unsettling to enter the theater for a performance and f ind the actors already on stage; one can almost be int imidated, as i f the audience has interrupted a ritual which was going on before it entered and now must pay humble t r ibute. The black-tight white-face figures seemed unaware o f an expectant audience as they went through their "Free Exerc i s e . ' 1 ...

In the near future, autonomous systems such as multi-robot are envisioned to increasingly co-exist with hu- mans in our daily lives, from household service large- scale warehouse logistics, agriculture environment sampling, and smart city. these applications, robots humans networked heterogeneous components will frequently inter- act each other a variety of scenarios under uncer- tain, rapidly-...

In this paper, we propose an Efficient Two-Level I/O Caching Architecture (ETICA) for virtualized platforms that can significantly improve latency, endurance, and cost (in terms of cache size) while preserving the reliability write-pending data blocks. As opposed to previous one-level caching schemes in platforms, our proposed architecture 1) provides two levels by employing both Dynamic Random...

We consider a trader who aims to liquidate a large position in the presence of anarbitrageur who hopes to profit from the trader’s activity. The arbitrageur is uncer-tain about the trader’s position and learns from observed price fluctuations. This isa dynamic game with asymmetric information. We present an algorithm for comput-ing perfect Bayesian equilibrium behavior and c...

We describe preliminary results from an effort to quan-tify the uncertainties in parton distribution functionsand the resulting uncertainties in predicted physicalquantities. The production cross section of the Wboson is given as a first example. Constraints due tothe full data sets of the CTEQ global analysis are usedin this study. Two complementary approaches, based<lb...
