Computational Linguistics and Talking Robots: Processing Content in Database Semantics

Springer, 2011

The practical task of building a talking robot requires a theory of how natural language communication works. Conversely, the best way to computationally verify a theory of natural language communication is to demonstrate its functioning concretely in the form of a talking robot, the epitome of human–machine communication. To...

Mathematics of Shape Description: A Morphological Approach to Image Processing and Computer Graphics

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

Image processing problems are often not well defined because real images are contaminated with noise and other uncertain factors. In Mathematics of Shape Description, the authors take a mathematical approach to address these problems using the morphological and set-theoretic approach to image processing and computer graphics by presenting...

Applications of Information Systems to Homeland Security And Defense

Idea Group Publishing, 2005

A range of threats in the areas of safety and security, from natural disasters to terrorism to conventional warfare, involve complex interactions that are beyond the scope and capabilities of traditional problem solving techniques. Applications of Information Systems to Homeland Security and Defense provides an overview of complex systems’...

Experiments in the Machine Interpretation of Visual Motion

MIT Press, 1990

If robots are to act intelligently in everyday environments, they must have a perception of motion and its consequences. This book describes experimental advances made in the interpretation of visual motion over the last few years that have moved researchers closer to emulating the way in which we recover information about the surrounding...

The Science of Supervillains

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

The science behind the scoundrels we love to hate

From Spider-Man’s bionic archenemy, Dr. Octopus, to Superman’s nemesis, Lex Luthor, to the X-Men’s eternal rival, Magneto, comic book villains have kept us captivated for years---- not just by their diabolical talent for confounding our heroes, but also by their unrivaled...
