Bayesian A* Tree Search with Expected O(N) Node Expansions: Applications to Road Tracking
Many perception, reasoning, and learning problems can be expressed as Bayesian inference. We point out that formulating a problem as Bayesian inference implies specifying a probabi...

Bayesian processing of vestibular information
Complex self-motion stimulations in the dark can be powerfully disorienting and can create illusory motion percepts. In the absence of visual cues, the brain has to use angular and...
