Recently, some variants of the l1 norm, particularly matrix norms such as the l1,2 and l 1,∞ norms, have been widely used in multi-task learning, compressed sensing and other related areas to enforce sparsity via joint regularization. In this paper, we unify the l 1,2 and l1,∞ norms by considering a family of l 1,q norms for 1 1,q norm. Based on this probabilistic interpretation, we develop a probabilistic model using the noninformative Jeffreys prior. We also extend the model to learn and exploit more general types of pairwise relationships between tasks. For both versions of the model, we devise expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms to learn all model parameters, including q, automatically. Experiments have been conducted on two cancer classification applications using microarray gene expression data.
In this paper, we present an approach for designing security warnings in vehicles for software based security incidents. With this we pursue the goal of reducing safety relevant component failures, which can be caused...

Neural control of movement is typically studied in constrained environments where there is a reduced set of possible behaviors. This constraint may unintentionally limit the applicability of findings to the generalized case of unconstrained behavior. We hypothesize that examining the unconstrained state across multiple behavioral contexts will lead to new insights into the neural control of movement and help advance the design of neural prosthetic decode algorithms. However, to pursue electrophysiological studies in such a manner requires a more flexible framework for experimentation. We propose that head-mounted neural recording systems with wireless data transmission, combined with markerless computer-vision based motion tracking, will enable new, less constrained experiments. As a proof-of-concept, we recorded and wirelessly transmitted broadband neural data from 32 electrodes in premotor cortex while acquiring single-camera video of a rhesus macaque walking on a treadmill. We demonstrate the ability to extract behavioral kinematics using an automated computer vision algorithm without use of markers and to predict kinematics from the neural data. Together these advances suggest that a new class of “freely moving monkey” experiments should be possible and should help broaden our understanding of the neural control of movement.
We report on the staging of the third competition on knowledge engineering for AI planning and scheduling systems, held during ICAPS-09 at Thessaloniki, Greece, in September 2009. We give an overview of how the compet...

The idea of a Kripke semantics endowed with possibility/plausibility information is not new; in fact there are different approaches for that; see: [6], [13], [16], [19]. This paper follows the approach found in [6], but whereas [6] provides a fixed interpretation for connectives into [0,1] here we provide a characterization of a fuzzy semantics for connectives in such a way that the resulting fuzzy frames: K, T and D, are described precisely by the set of statements which also describes, respectively, the usual modal systems K, T and D.

This paper presents the research results on the integration approach using a biologically inspired algorithm (LEGION) and a geometrically-inspired method (GAC) for target extraction from multiple-source remote-sensing imageries, specifically EO-1 Hyperion hyperspectral (30-meter resolution), and IKONOS multispectral (4-meter resolution) images. An automatic road-extraction algorithm based on LEGION (Locally Excitatory Globally Inhibitory Oscillator Networks, a neurocomputational framework for image segmentation) was developed to extract main roads from EO-1 Hyperion imagery. A region-based geometric/geodesic active contour (GAC) which adopts Euclidean distance as the basic energy metric was used to perform target extraction from both the EO-1 Hyperion and IKONOS multispectral images. The candidate targets including roads detected on the EO-1 imagery were projected onto the IKONOS imagery and used as prior knowledge for target extraction. Experimental results show that this approach reduced the computational complexity on the IKONOS imagery. Also, the use of the LEGION-based road-extraction algorithm increased the probability that major roads would be distinguished from other objects that are made of similar materials.
