Le principal rôle du corps calleux est d’assurer le transfert de l’information entre les hémisphères cérébraux. Du support empirique pour cette fonction provient d’études investiguant la communication interhémisphérique chez les individus à cerveau divisé (ICD). Des paradigmes expérimentaux exigeant une…

Much effort has been dedicated to provide a general model of agents working in complex environments. This research focuses on the high level cognition used in determining the behavior of the agent.
The language of the Situation Calculus represents a…

The field of machine learning (ML) is concerned with the question of how to construct algorithms that automatically improve with experience. In recent years many successful ML applications have been developed, such as datamining programs, information-filtering systems, etc. Although ML…
