Review: Complex Worlds from Simpler Nervous Systems

Phenomenal Worlds and Nervous System Activity

The epistemological situation of a single cell is considered. In chemotaxis, the relation between perception and action is found to be lawful and bidirectional. Consideration of the perception/action relation allows a characterization of the phenomenal world of the cell. This phenomenal world is grounded in perceptual distinctions that are relevant to the sustained viability of the cell. Moving...

Complex Models, More Data: Simpler Programming?

The complexity of models used for or considered for use in genetic evaluation is increasing. Examples of new models are test-day models in dairy cattle, growth models in beef cattle, and models with dominance or/and QTL effects. These models are usually linear but analyses of some traits may require nonlinear models, which are usually more complicated to write and test. More complicated models ...

Time Series Clustering: Complex is Simpler!

Given a motion capture sequence, how to identify the category of the motion? Classifying human motions is a critical task in motion editing and synthesizing, for which manual labeling is clearly inefficient for large databases. Here we study the general problem of time series clustering. We propose a novel method of clustering time series that can (a) learn joint temporal dynamics in the data; ...
