If we are to understand human-level intelligence, we need to understand how meanings can be learned without explicit instruction. I take a step toward that understanding by focusing on the symbol-grounding problem, showing how symbols can emerge from a system…

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an important diagnostic imaging tool that has
seen rapid expansion in recent years with a commensurate increase in the number of
radiographers undertaking MRI scans. This imaging modality is a complex one and the strong

This study analyse the influence of Knowledge of Results (KR) with different accuracy levels on the learning rate of a throwing skill of spatial non-vision accuracy, during the acquisition stage. We assessed the number of successful events, the distance from…

Gene expression arrays are a technology used to measure quantities of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). Application of the technology involves a variety of physical processes beginning with the acquisition of mRNA samples and ending with the fluorescence imaging of a…

Effective document retrieval using domain knowledge and semantics is one of the major challenges in Information Retrieval. Over the last years, there has been a growing interest in ontologies as an artifact for human knowledge representation and a critical component…

Despite recent progress in materials synthesis, there are few materials with narrow pore size distributions and well-defined pore structures in the size range of 100 - 500 A. Materials with pores of 100 - 500 A possess a potential combination…

This thesis developed and applied tools to bridge the gap between available data and action for urban air quality management, focusing on strategies to reduce particle concentrations. One of the principal thesis contributions is a Bayesian method to exploit the…
