  • Real-Time Encoding of Motion: Answerable Questions and Questionable Answers from the Fly’S Visual System
    From: Motion Vision - Computational, Neural, and Ecological Constraints Edited by Johannes M. Zanker and Jochen Zeil Springer Verlag, Berlin Heidelberg New York, 2001 Real-Time Encoding of Motion: Answerable Questions and Questionable Answers from the Fly’s Visual System Rob de Ruyter van Steveninck1, Alexander Borst2 and William Bialek1 1NEC Research Institute, Princeton, USA; 2ESPM-Division of Insect Biology, University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, USA 1. Introduction Much of what we know about the neural processing of sensory information has been learned by studying the responses of single neurones to rather simplified stimuli. The ethologists, however, have argued that we can reveal the full richness of the nervous system only when we study the way in which the brain deals with the more complex stimuli that occur in nature. On the other hand it is possible that the processing of natural signals is decomposable into steps that can be understood from the analysis of simpler signals. But even then, to prove that this is the case one must do the experiment and use complex natural stimuli. In the past decade there has been renewed interest in moving beyond the simple sensory inputs that have been the workhorse of neurophysiology, and a key step in this program has been the development of more powerful tools for the analysis of neural responses to complex dynamic inputs. The motion sensitive neurones of the fly visual sys- tem have been an important testing ground for these ideas, and there have been several key results from this work: 1. The sequence of spikes from a motion sensitive neurone can be decoded to recover a continuous estimate of the dynamic velocity trajectory (Bialek et al.

  • The Beatles and the Crisis of Self-Identity
    Sosland Journal 77 THE BEATLES AND THE CRISIS OF SELF-IDENTITY Jared Gutzmer “Ringo- a lovely performer. George- a mystical unre- alized talent. But John and Paul, Saints John and Paul, were, and made, and aureoled and beatifi ed and eternalized the concept that shall always be known, remembered and deeply loved as The Beatles” -Leonard Bernstein The Beatles are one of the most popular bands of all time. This is an undisputed fact no matter the location. They were so popular that in America, they had to stop touring due to the screaming fans which caused the band not to be able to hear themselves. Never before was there a group that was so incredibly popular in history. This popularity and other fac- tors led the members of the Beatles to change as individuals and as a group as they matured musically and mentally. Their identity shifted from a group identity to a self-identity. From the Beatles fi rst album, Please Please Me, to their last, Let It Be, the shift in their identity can be seen through their music and the appearances that led to individualism and eventually their downfall. 78 Sosland Journal The Music “It would not seem quite so likely that the accompany- ing fever known as Beatlemania will also be success- fully exported. On this side of the Atlantic it is dazed stuff.” -Jack Gould, New York Times television critic The Beatles music and lyrics changed drastically from their fi rst to last album due to adapting to a changing soci- ety, musical maturity, and their increased popularity.

  • Kernel Trajectory Maps for Multi-Modal Probabilistic Motion Prediction
    Kernel Trajectory Maps for Multi-Modal Probabilistic Motion Prediction Weiming Zhi 1 and Lionel Ott 1 and Fabio Ramos 1;2 1 Department of Computer Science, University of Sydney, Australia 2 NVIDIA, USA [email protected] Abstract: Understanding the dynamics of an environment, such as the movement of humans and vehicles, is crucial for agents to achieve long-term autonomy in ur- ban environments. This requires the development of methods to capture the multi- modal and probabilistic nature of motion patterns. We present kernel trajectory maps (KTM) to capture the trajectories of movement in an environment. KTMs leverage the expressiveness of kernels from non-parametric modelling by project- ing input trajectories onto a set of representative trajectories, to condition on a se- quence of observed waypoint coordinates, and predict a multi-modal distribution over possible future trajectories. The output is a mixture of continuous stochastic processes, where each realisation is a continuous functional trajectory, which can be queried at arbitrarily fine time steps. Keywords: Trajectory Learning, Motion prediction, Kernel methods 1 Introduction Autonomous agents may be required to operate in environments with moving objects, such as pedes- trians and vehicles in urban areas, for extended periods of time. A probabilistic model that captures the movement of surrounding dynamic objects allows an agent to make more effective and robust plans. This work presents kernel trajectory maps (KTM) 1, that capture the multi-modal, probabilis- tic, and continuous nature of future paths. Given a sequence of observed waypoints of a trajectory up to a given coordinate, a KTM is able to produce a multi-modal distribution over possible future trajectories, represented by a mixture of stochastic processes.
