This abstract addresses the question of human imitation through convergent evidence from neuroscience. We look at deficits in imitation following brain lesion, such as apraxia. We believe that looking at how imitation is impaired can unveil its underlying ...
Spiking Neuron Networks (SNNs) are often referred to as the 3rd generation of neural networks. They derive their strength and interest from an accurate modelling of synaptic interactions between neurons, taking into account the time of spike emission. SNNs ...
Temporal integration of information and prediction of future sensory inputs are assumed to be important computational tasks of generic cortical microcircuits. It has remained open how cortical microcircuits could possibly achieve this, especially since the ...
This thesis addresses text-independent speaker verification from a machine learning point of view. We use the machine learning framework to better define the problem and to develop new unbiased performance measures and statistical tests to compare objectiv ...
Automatic character detection in video sequences is a complex task, due to the variety of sizes and colors as well as to the complexity of the background. In this paper we address this problem by proposing a localization/verification scheme. Candidate text ...
One of the fundamental and puzzling questions in vision research is how objects are segmented from their backgrounds and how object formation evolves in time. The recently discovered shine-through effect allows one to study object segmentation and object f ...
This abstract addresses the question of human imitation through convergent evidence from neuroscience, using tools from machine learning. In particular, we consider a deficit in imitation of meaningless gestures (i.e., hand postures relative to the head) f ...
The human nervous system processes a continuous stream of multi-modal input from a rapidly changing environment. A key challenge for neural modeling is to explain how the neural microcircuits (columns, minicolumns, etc.) in the cerebral cortex whose anatom ...
Device comprising storage means (51) for storing a genotypic representation (3) of a spiking neural network comprising spiking neurons (1) and input neurons (2) connected by synapses, and computer program portions for performing the steps of mutating said ...
Traditional speech recognition systems use Gaussian mixture models to obtain the likelihoods of individual phonemes, which are then used as state emission probabilities in hidden Markov models representing the words. In hybrid systems, the Gaussian mixture ...
