In a typical multi-standard wireless communication receiver, the channelizer must have the capability of extracting multiple channels (frequency bands) of distinct bandwidths corresponding to different communication standards. The channelizer operates at the highest sampling rate in the digital front end of receiver and hence power efficient low complex architecture is required for costeffectiv...

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems too complex for predefined environment models and actions will need to learn environment models and to choose actions that optimize some criteria. Several authors have described mechanisms by which such complex systems may behave in ways not intended in their designs. This paper describes ways to avoid such unintended behavior. For hypothesized powerful AI s...

In this paper, we focus on CMF signal processing and aim to resolve the problems of precision sharp-decline occurrence when using adaptive notch filters (ANFs) for tracking the signal frequency for a long time and phase difference calculation depending on frequency by the sliding Goertzel algorithm (SGA) or the recursive DTFT algorithm with negative frequency contribution. A novel method is pro...

The Novamente AI Engine is briefly reviewed. The overall architecture is unique, drawing on system-theoretic ideas regarding complex mental dynamics and associated emergent patterns. We describe how these are facilitated by a novel knowledge representation which allows diverse cognitive processes to interact effectively. We then elaborate the two primary cognitive algorithms used to construct t...

This paper describes the implementation of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on the Reconfigurable Data Path Processor (RDPP) under development by the Institute of Advanced Microelectronics and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The RDPP implements a multi-stage computational pipeline, optimized for systolic signal processing applications. We implement the Goertzel FFT algorithm, which is able to...

An efficient algorithm of tidal harmonic analysis and prediction is presented in this paper. The analysis is strengthened by utilising known relationships between tidal constituents found at a neighbouring reference site. The system of linear equations of the least-squares solution is enhanced with included constraint equations. In the case of inadequate data, ill-conditioning in the system of ...

Might it be possible, using a combination of current technologies, to create a software program enabling a robot to think, learn and converse roughly at the level of a young human child? While achievements like this have been elusive throughout the history of AI, we suspect that due to advances in AI, hardware and cognitive science, the answer is now: Yes, if the cognitive architecture of the p...

Numerous behavioral studies have found women to be more trust-worthy and public-spirited than men. These results suggest that women should be particularly effective in promoting honest government. Consistent with this hypothesis, we find that the greater the representation of women in parliament, the lower the level of corruption. We find this association in a large crosssection of countries. I...
