Diagrammatic Methods for Deriving and Relating Temporal Neural Network Algorithms
We present an alternative approach based on a set of simple block diagram manipulation rules. The approach provides a common framework to derive popular algorithms including backpropagation and backpropagation-through-time, without…

Using Differential Constraints to Reconstruct Complex Surfaces from Stereo
Stereo reconstruction algorithms often fail to properly deal with complex surfaces, because there is not enough image information. We propose to guide the reconstruction process using a priori information about…

A Collaborative Environment for Authoring Large Knowledge Bases
Collaborative knowledge base (KB) authoring environments are critical for the construction of high-performance KBs. In this paper, we present an environment that satisfies many of these goals.

On the determination of epipoles using cross-ratios
We study the problem of computing the position of the epipoles in a pair of uncalibrated images. The approach, which is based on the invariance of the cross-ratio by the…

The Saphira Architecture: A Design for Autonomy
Autonomy has many different aspects; here we concentrate on three central ones: the ability to attend to another agent, to take advice about the environment, and to carry out assigned…

WebWatcher: A Tour Guide for the World Wide Web
We explore the notion of a tour guide software agent for assisting users browsing the World Wide Web. This paper describes a simple but operational tour guide, called WebWatcher, which…
