This paper presents a general overview of the technological fields of mechatronic, robotic, components for automation and control. Five technical areas are considered: component and instruments, mechatronic, robotics, cost oriented automation and human-machine systems. The paper addresses their current key problems and the recent major accomplishments. At last the most promising forecasted development and applications are considered.
We examine the notion of conditionals and the role of conditionals in inductive logics and arguments. We identify three mistakes commonly made in the study of, or motivation for, non-classical logics. A nonmonotonic c...

Protein-protein and protein nucleic acid interactions are vitally important for a wide range of biological processes, including regulation or gene expression, protein synthesis, and replication and assembly of many viruses. We have developed machinelearning approaches for predicting which amino acids of a protein participate in its interactions with other proteins and/or nucleic acids, using only the proiein sequence as input. In this paper, we describe an application of classifiers trained on datasets of well-characterized protein-protein and protein-RNA complexes for which experimental structures are available. We apply these classifiers to the problem of predicting protein and RNA binding sites in the sequence of a clinically important protein for which the structure is not known: the regulatory protein Rev, essential for the replication of HIV-I and other lentiviruses. We compare our predictions with published biochemical, genetic and partial structural information for HIV-1 and EIAV Rev and with our own published experimental mapping of RNA binding sites in EIAV Rev. The predicted and experimentally determined binding sites are in very good agreement. The ability to predict reliably the residues of a protein that directly contribute to specific binding events - without the requirement for structural information regarding either the protein or complexes in which it participates - can potentially generate new disease intervention strategies.

We present a method for morphing between smooth spectral magnitude envelopes of speech. An important element of our method is the notion of audio flow, which is inspired by similar notions of optical flow computed between images in computer vision applications. Audio flow defines the correspondence between two smooth spectral magnitude envelopes, and encodes the formant shifting that occurs from one sound to another. We present several algorithms for the automatic computation of audio flow from a small 20 second corpus of speech. In addition, we present an algorithm for morphing smoothly between any two spectral magnitude envelopes, given the computed audio flow between them.
learning how to create, test, and revise models is a central skill in scientific reasoning. We argue that qualitative modeling provides an appropriate level of representation for helping middle-school students learn t...

In this paper, we propose a discriminative counterpart of the directed Markov Models of order kappa - 1, or MM(kappa - 1) for sequence classification. MM(kappa - 1) models capture dependencies among neighboring elements of a sequence. The parameters of the classifiers are initialized to based on the maximum likelihood estimates for their generative counterparts. We derive gradient based update equations for the parameters of the sequence classifiers in order to maximize the conditional likelihood function. Results of our experiments with data sets drawn from biological sequence classification (specifically protein function and subcellular localization) and text classification applications show that the discriminatively trained sequence classifiers outperform their generative counterparts, confirming the benefits of discriminative training when the primary objective is classification. Our experiments also show that the discriminatively trained MM(kappa - 1) sequence classifiers are competitive with the computationally much more expensive Support Vector machines trained using kappa-gram representations of sequences.

This volume brings together for the first time the papers of Margaret Masterman, a pioneer in the field of computational linguistics. ;Margaret Masterman was a pioneer in the field of computational linguistics. Working in the earliest days of language processing by computer, she believed that meaning, not grammar, was the key to understanding languages, and that machines could determine the meaning of sentences. She was able, even on simple machines, to undertake sophisticated experiments in machine translation, and carried out important work on the use of semantic codings and thesauri to determine the meaning structure of texts. This volume brings together Masterman's groundbreaking papers for the first time. Through his insightful commentaries, Yorick Wilks argues that Masterman came close to developing a computational theory of language meaning based on the ideas of Wittgenstein, and shows the importance of her work in the philosophy of science and the nature of iconic languages. Of key interest in computational linguistics and artificialintelligence, it will remind scholars of Masterman's significant contribution to the field.

We propose a fast and robust approach to the detection and tracking of moving objects. Our method is based on using lines computed by a gradient-based optical flow and an edge detector. While it is known among researchers that gradient-based optical flow and edges are well matched for accurate computation of velocity, not much attention is paid to creating systems for detecting and tracking objects using this feature. In our method, extracted edges by using optical flow and the edge detector are restored as lines, and background lines of the previous frame are subtracted. Contours of objects are obtained by using snakes to clustered lines. Detected objects are tracked, and each tracked object has a state for handling occlusion and interference. The experimental results on outdoor-scenes show fast and robust performance of our method. The computation time of our method is 0.089 s/frame on a 900 MHz processor.
