Language acquisition is a ubiquitous, challenging problem involving fundamental cognitive abilities of attention, learning, and memory. From infants to adult travelers, language learners are faced with figuring out which words refer to which referents from situations that contain many words and referents. By remembering the words and referents (e.g., objects) that co-occur most frequently over ...

This report describes the robot, Curious George, that took part in, and won, the robot league of the 2007 Semantic Robot Vision Challenge (SRVC), held at the AAAI’07 conference in Vancouver, Canada. We describe the robot hardware, the algorithms used during each of the three competition phases, as well as the results obtained by the system during the competition.

In a recent paper [2], G. R. Blakley raised a question about the decomposition of a ^-valent starlike function into the product of two ^-valent starlike functions. It is the purpose of this note to prove the conjecture of Blakley. Definition 1. The function/(z), regular in |z| <1, is said to be in the class S(p, m), where p and m are positive integers with p^m, if and only if (1) there exists a...
