The path-planning problem for autonomous mobile robots has been addressed by classical search techniques such as A* or, more recently, Theta* or S-Theta*. However, research usually focuses on reducing the length of the path or the processing time. The common practice in the literature is to report the run-time/length of ...

We present an attention-based approach for the detection of unknown objects in a 3D environment. The ability to address individual objects in the environment without having previous knowledge about their properties or their identity is one important requirement of the Situated Vision theory. Based on saliency maps, our ...

Die Automatisierung der Videoanalyse nimmt im Profisport eine immer wichtigere Rolle ein. Im Fußball kommt dabei der Auswertung der Laufwege der Spieler eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Der vorliegende Bericht dokumentiert unser Kooperationsprojekt zum computergestützten Spieler-Tracking auf Basis von Videobildern in Echtzeit. ...

In this project report, we describe ongoing research on supporting the development of agent-based simulation models. The vision is that the agents themselves should learn their (individual) behavior model, instead of letting a human modeler test which of the many possible agent-level behaviors leads to the correct ...

Mathematische Modelle von neurobiologisch und psychologisch inspirierten Lernparadigmen gelten als Schlüsseltechnologie für Problemstellungen, die anhand klassischer Programmierung schwer zu lösen sind. Reinforcement Learning ist in diesem Zusammenhang eines dieser Paradigmen, welches mittlerweile recht erfolgreich in ...

Support vector machines are among the most popular techniques in machine learning. Given sufficient labeled data, they often yield excellent results. However, for a variety of real-world tasks, the acquisition of sufficient labeled data can be very time-consuming; unlabeled data, on the other hand, can often be obtained ...

With the computational power of modern smartphones constantly increasing, resource intensive applications are becoming feasible to an ever growing extent. In this paper, we report on a research project recently started. Its aim is to develop an application for smartphones that combines pedestrian and public transport ...

The Gorkana Group provides high quality media monitoring services to its clients. This paper describes an ongoing project aimed at increasing the amount of automation in Gorkana Group’s workflow through the application of machine learning and language processing technologies. It is important that Gorkana Group’s clients ...
