My students and I are working with Abbeel on a new project to incorporate models of sensing so that these robots can cope with noise and adapt to changing conditions.
Thus, our data would not be completely inconsistent with the previous model of sensing averaged attractant concentrations.
This helps to simplify the model and, as considered in the Discussion, we have no reason to expect that a more complicated model of sensing or use of mental maps would qualitatively change the conclusions drawn from our model.
We quantify available information as the mutual information between the abundance of a monitor protein and the local cell density for biologically relevant models of quorum sensing.
The direction of motion of a bar was estimated by comparing the timing of responses in ensembles of parasol (magnocellular-projecting) retinal ganglion cells recorded simultaneously, using a cross-correlation approach similar to standard models of motion sensing.
To examine how faithfully the retina signals motion, stimulus speed was estimated directly from recorded RGC responses using an optimized algorithm that resembles models of motion sensing in the brain.
For example, M. Ross Quillian (1968) proposed a model of word sense disambiguation based on "spreading activation" in a network of concepts (typically corresponding to senses of nouns) interconnected through relational links (typically corresponding to senses of verbs or prepositions).
At their essence, effective lines are simple, efficient and provide a model of good sense.
Indeed, his chief economics adviser, Jason Furman, sounds like the very model of good sense.
And as Garry's wife, Liz, Burton is a model of good sense and strong character, poised and maternal.
