Proactive User Interfaces (PUIs) aim at facilitating the interaction with a user interface, e.g., by highlighting fields or adapting the interface. For that purpose, they need to...
Given a model of a physical process and a sequence of commands and observations received over time, the task of an autonomous controller is to determine the likely states of the p...
Loopy and generalized belief propagation are popular algorithms for approximate inference in Markov random fields and Bayesian networks. Fixed points of these algorithms correspo...
We present an application of hierarchical Bayesian estimation to robot map building. The revisiting problem occurs when a robot has to decide whether it is seeing a previously-bui...
