Given the success of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) during recent years in numerous object recognition tasks, it seems logical to further extend their applicability to the treatment of three-dimensional data such as point clouds provided by depth sensors. To this end, we present an approach exploiting the CNN's ability of automated feature ge...

Dynamism was originally defined as the proportion of online versus offline orders in the literature on dynamic logistics. Such a definition however, loses meaning when considering purely dynamic problems where all customer requests arrive dynamically. Existing measures of dynamism are limited to either (1) measuring the proportion of online versus ...
This paper introduces deep neural network (DNN)-hidden Markov model (HMM) based methods to tackle speech recognition in heterogeneous groups of speakers including children. We target three speaker groups consisting of children, adult males and adult females. Two different kinds of approaches are introduced here: approaches based on DNN adaptation a...
Numerous algorithms have been proposed to allow legged robots to learn to walk. However, the vast majority of these algorithms is devised to learn to walk in a straight line, which is not sufficient to accomplish any real-world mission. Here we introduce the Transferability-based Behavioral Repertoire Evolution algorithm (TBR-Evolution), a novel ev...
This paper investigates the question of the interpretability of fuzzy linguistic summaries, both at the sentence level and at the summary level, seen as a set of sentences. The individual sentence interpretability is examined as depending both on its representativity measured by a quality degree and on its linguistic expression. Different propertie...
In this paper we consider the problems of supervised classification and regression in the case where attributes and labels are functions: a data is represented by a set of functions, and the label is also a function. We focus on the use of reproducing kernel Hilbert space theory to learn from such functional data. Basic concepts and properties of k...
