The treatment of word formations has until recently been a neglected topic in natural language AI research. This paper proposes a multilayered approach to word formation which treats derivatives and compounds on several different levels of processing within a natural language dialogue system. Analysis and generation strategies being developed for the dialogue system HAM-ANS are described. Ident...

The motivation behind this work is to transfer force-based assembly skills to robots by using human demonstration. For this purpose, we model the skills as a sequence of contact formations (which describe how a workpiece touches its environment) and desired transitions between contact formations. In this paper , we present a method of identifying single-ended contact formations from force senso...

This paper considers the problem of reduction of self-localization errors in multi-agent autonomous formations when only distance measurements are available to the agents in a globally rigid formation. It is shown that there is a relationship between different selections of anchors, agents with exactly known positions, and the error induced by measurement error on localization solution. This fa...

This paper studies distributed control of bearing-constrained multiagent formations using bearing-only measurements. In order to analyze bearing-constrained formations, we first present a bearing rigidity theory that is applicable to arbitrary dimensions. Based on the proposed bearing rigidity theory, we investigate distributed bearing-only formation control in arbitrary dimensions in the prese...

The ocean and atmosphere were largely anoxic in the early Precambrian, resulting in an Fe cycle that was dramatically different than today’s. Extremely Fe-rich sedimentary deposits—i.e., Fe formations—are the most conspicuous manifestation of this distinct Fe cycle. Rare Earth Element (REE) systematics have long been used as a tool to understand the origin of Fe formations and the corresponding...

We consider flocks of artificial birds and study the emergence of V-like formations during flight. We introduce a small set of fully distributed positioning rules to guide the birds' movements and demonstrate, by means of simulations, that they tend to lead to stabilization into several of the well-known V-like formations that have been observed in nature. We also provide quantitative indicator...

The present study examines the different ways in which language structure marks individuation and cue early attention in a novel noun generalization task. Results in the present study extends the Boundary Shift Hypothesis, suggesting that the linguistic boundary between individuals and nonindividuals influences the perceptual boundaries and the correlational patterns formed overtime between ont...

The Jura-Cretaceous coal seams of the Currier, Mist Mountain, &thing and Gates formations generally formed in delta or strand plain environments with little marine influence. The sulphur contents of coal from these formations is therefore generally low, nearly always less than I % and often less than 0.5 %. Coalbearing formations of the Cretaceous Nanaimo and Skeena groups were deposited in coa...
