Stochastic Approximation with Simulated Annealing as an Approach to Global Discrete-Event Simulation Optimization
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...

Tactile Sensing of Edge Direction of an Object with a Soft Fingertip Contact
— We propose a new method of tactile sensing for a fingertip of robotic hand. Using a simple fingertip with soft surface cover and a six-axis force/torque sensor, developed is ...

Structural Priming as Structure-Mapping: Children Use Analogies From Previous Utterances to Guide Sentence Production
What mechanisms underlie children’s language production? Structural priming—the repetition of sentence structure across utterances—is an important measure of the developing ...

Geometric understanding of point clouds using Laplace-Beltrami operator
In this paper, we propose a general framework for approximating differential operator directly on point clouds and use it for geometric understanding on them. The discrete approxi...

Real-Time Indirect Illumination and Soft Shadows in Dynamic Scenes Using Spherical Lights
We present a method for rendering approximate soft shadows and diffuse indirect illumination in dynamic scenes. The proposed method approximates the original scene geometry with a...
