Developmental evolution of dendritic morphology in a multi-compartmental neuron model
Rust, A.G.; Adams, R.G. (IEE, 1999)Through the use of a multi-compartmental neuron simulation, Mainen and Sejnowski demonstrated that spike generation in neurons is a function of their dendritic structure [l]. In this paper we investigate the determination ... -
Developments in wavelength division multiple access networking
Senior, J.M.; Handley, M.R.; Leeson, M.S. (1998-12-01)The last few years have seen a growing interest in WDM for optical networks in order to increase capacity and overcome the electronic bottleneck. Alongside the improvement in WDM components there has been continuing ... -
Differences of Human Perceptions of a Robot Moving using Linear or Slow in, Slow out Velocity Profiles When Performing a Cleaning Task
Schulz, Trenton; Holthaus, Patrick; Amirabdollahian, Farshid; Koay, Kheng; Torresen, Jim; Herstad, Jo (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-10-14)We investigated how a robot moving with different velocity profiles affects a person's perception of it when working together on a task. The two profiles are the standard linear profile and a profile based on the animation ... -
Differences on social acceptance of humanoid robots between Japan and the UK
Nomura, Tatsuya T.; Syrdal, D.S.; Dautenhahn, K. (The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), 2015-04)To validate a questionnaire for measuring people's acceptance of humanoid robots in cross-cultural research (the Frankenstein Syndrome Questionnaire: FSQ), an online survey was conducted in both the UK and Japan including ... -
A different approach of using Personas in human-robot interaction : Integrating Personas as computational models to modify robot companions' behaviour
Duque, I.; Dautenhahn, K.; Koay, K.L.; Willcock, L.; Christianson, B. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013)The current paper focuses on a novel integration of the Personas technique into HRI studies, and the definition of a Persona-Based Computational Behaviour Model for achieving socially intelligent robot companions in living ... -
Different classifiers find different defects although with different level of consistency
Bowes, David; Hall, Tracy; Petrić, Jean (ACM Press, 2015-10-21)BACKGROUND - During the last 10 years hundreds of different defect prediction models have been published. The performance of the classifiers used in these models is reported to be similar with models rarely performing above ... -
Differentiating through Conjugate Gradient
Christianson, Bruce (2018-11-02)We show that, although the Conjugate Gradient (CG) Algorithm has a singularity at the solution, it is possible to differentiate forward through the algorithm automatically by re-declaring all the variables as truncated ... -
Digested information as an information theoretic motivation for social interaction
Salge, Christoph; Polani, D. (2011)Within a universal agent-world interaction framework, based on Information Theory and Causal Bayesian Networks, we demonstrate how every agent that needs to acquire relevant information in regard to its strategy selection ... -
Digested information, a non-semantic motivation for agent-agent interaction
Salge, Christoph (2010)Digested Information is a theory that aims to explain, at the non-semantic level of Information Theory, why it makes sense for one agent to observe another. Based on the formalism of Relevant Information, defined as the ... -
Digital Learners in Higher Education: Exploring Technology Ownership Patterns and Learning Engagement
Jefferies, Amanda; Monett-Diaz, Dagmar; Kornbrot, Diana (ACPI (Academic Conference Publishing International), 2016-10-26)Recent studies into ‘digital learners’ have pointed to the high level of digital skills which many UK and US based students entering HE are now demonstrating (White & Beetham, 2013; Pew, 2013). However while students may ... -
Discovering Motion Flow by Temporal-Informational Correlations in Sensors
Olsson, L.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Polani, D. (2005) -
Discovering predictive variables when evolving cognitive models
Lane, P.C.R.; Gobet, F. (2005)A non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm is used to evolve models of learning from di erent theories for multiple tasks. Correlation analysis is performed to identify parameters which affect performance on specific tasks; ... -
Distinctive Role of KV1.1 Subunits in the Biology and Functions of Low Threshold K+ Channels with Implication for Neurological Disease
Ovsepian, Saak; Le Berre, Marie; Steuber, Volker; O'Leary, Valerie; Leibold, Christian; Dolly, Oliver (2016-03-01)The diversity of pore-forming subunits of KV1 channels (KV1.1–KV1.8) affords their physiological versatility and predicts a range of functional impairments resulting from genetic aberrations. Curiously, identified so far ... -
A Distributed Framework for Semi-Automatically Developing Architectures of Brain and Mind
Gobet, F.; Lane, P.C.R. (2005) -
Distributed SIP DDoS Defense with P4
Febro, Aldo; Xiao, Hannan; Spring, William (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-10-31)SIP DDoS attack is growing and has a real threat to crippling public communication infrastructure. The standard approach to building the defense is at or near the attack destination (i.e. victim’s location). This approach ... -
Divide and Measure : CFG Segmentation for the Measurement-Based Analysis of Resource Consumption
Zolda, Michael; Kirner, Raimund (Technische Universität Wien, 2008-11-01)A computer system is a good computer system if it correctly performs the task it was intended to perform. This is not even half of the truth: Non-functional requirements are abundant in the world of software and system ... -
Do as I Do: Correspondences across Different Robotic Embodiments
Alissandrakis, A.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Dautenhahn, K. (2002)Behaviour matching and imitation serve as fundamental mechanisms for social learning, the development of social skills, and the evolution of cultures. Imitation and observational learning as means for acquiring new behaviours ... -
Do bad smells indicate "trouble" in code?
Zhang, M.; Hall, T.; Baddoo, N.; Wernick, P. (ACM Press, 2008)In 1999 Fowler et al. identified 22 Bad Smells in code to direct the effective refactoring. These are increasingly being used by software engineers. However, the empirical basis of using Bad Smells to direct refactoring ... -
