This paper presents an SVM--based algorithm for the transfer of knowledge across robot platforms aiming to perform the same task. Our method exploits efficiently the transferred knowledge while updating incrementally the internal representation as new inf ...
In this paper, we study the cooperative transport of a heavy object by a group of robots towards a goal. We investigate the case in which robots have partial and noisy knowledge of the goal direction and can not perceive the goal itself. The robots have to ...
After years of quest by the computer-supported collaborative work community for true user satisfaction, social software and communities of practice turn out to be the enabling frameworks for natural and effective collaborative learning and knowledge manage ...
R&D internationalization is an important phenomenon. It involves the global allocation of a precious resource for national economies. The reason for this Report is that there is a strong feeling, based on partial evidence, that Europe is not taking part as ...

Burnashev in 1976 gave an exact expression for the reliability function of a discrete memoryless channel (DMC) with noiseless feedback. A coding scheme that achieves this exponent needs, in general, to know the statistics of the channel. Suppose now that t ...

Many applications of wireless ad hoc sensor and actuator networks (WSANs) rely on the knowledge of node locations. These are challenging to obtain when nodes are mobile and are not equipped with any expensive positioning hardware. In this paper, we are int ...
The revolution in information technology transforms not only information and its uses but, more important, knowledge and the ways we generate and manage it. Knowledge is now seen as input, output, and capital, even if imperfectly accounted for or understoo ...
The last decades have seen the most important improvements of the safety on the road. But most of the accidents are still coming from the driver when a source of danger is not noticed or when the reaction is not correct during an unusual situation. Two way ...
Pour que l’Intelligence collective soit pleinement efficiente, la reconnaissance individuelle dans le groupe doit être privilégiée. En effet, l’Intelligence collective qui a pour fin ultime, la performance, dépend étroitement de la bonne coopération de l’h ...

This paper reports a study on short-time subharmonic pitch breaks in vocal fold vibration, which are found to be a common feature of the human voice in spoken language. The observed pitch breaks correspond to a change in periodicity of the electrolaryngogr ...
