In robot programming by demonstration, we hypothesize that in a class of procedural tasks where the end goal primarily consists of the states of objects that are external to a task performer, one can significantly reduce complexity of a robot learner by not processing a human demonstrator’s motions at all. In this class of tasks, object behaviors are far more critical than human behaviors. Base...

This is a demonstration of interactive teaching for practical end-to-end dialog systems driven by a recurrent neural network. In this approach, a developer teaches the network by interacting with the system and providing on-the-spot corrections. Once a system is deployed, a developer can also correct mistakes in logged dialogs. This demonstration shows both of these teaching methods applied to ...

We present a method for automatic grasp generation based on object shape primitives in a Programming by Demonstration framework. The system first recognizes the grasp performed by a demonstrator as well as the object it is applied on and then generates a suitable grasping strategy on the robot. We start by presenting how to model and learn grasps and map them to robot hands. We continue by perf...

The advancement of electronic integrated circuit technology and photonics in the last decade have allowed the design and demonstration of ultra-high bit-rate transmission over advanced optical fiber transmission line employing in-line optical amplification as well as electronic compensation and equalisation of linear and nonlinear distortion effects. The research and development of novel modula...

The ecological construction for demonstration area is an idealized model for the establishment of rural sustainable development in the countyscale. This paper presents a GIS-based evaluation system of ecological construction for demonstration area. It includes an index system with the 4 secondary indices and 24 factor indices, and a method of ecological construction for demonstration area utili...
