Anchoring symbols to conceptual spaces: the case of dynamic scenarios.

2003

In recent years, there have been several proposals for the realization of models inspired to biological solutions for pattern recognition. In this work we propose a new approach, based on a hierarchical modular structure, to realize a system capable to learn by examples and recognize objects in digital images. The adopted techniques are based on multiresolution image analysis and neural networks. Performance on two different data sets and experimental timings on a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) machine are also reported.

Conceptual spaces for computer vision representations

2001

A framework for high-level representations in computer vision architectures is described. The framework is based on the notion of conceptual space. This approach allows us to define a conceptual semantics for the symbolic representations of the vision system. In this way, the semantics of the symbols can be grounded to the data coming from the sensors. In addition, the proposed approach generalizes the most popular frameworks adopted in computer vision.

Pseudo-bosons and Riesz Bi-coherent States

2016

After a brief review on D-pseudo-bosons we introduce what we call Riesz bi-coherent states, which are pairs of states sharing with ordinary coherent states most of their features. In particular, they produce a resolution of the identity and they are eigenstates of two different annihilation operators which obey pseudo-bosonic commutation rules.

Two-view “cylindrical decomposition” of binary images

2001

This paper describes the discrete cylindrical algebraic decomposition (DCAD) construction along two orthogonal views of binary images. The combination of two information is used to avoid ambiguities for image recognition purposes. This algorithm associates an object connectivity graph to each connected component, allowing a complete description of the structuring information. Moreover, an easy and compact representation of the scene is achieved by using strings in a five letter alphabet. Examples on complex digital images are also provided. © 2001 Elsevier Science Inc.

Representing 2D Digital Objects

2000

The paper describes the combination a multi-views approach to represent connected components of 2D binary images. The approach is based on the Object Connectivity Graph (OCG), which is a sub-graph of the connectivity graph generated by the Discrete Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition(DCAD) performed in the 2D discrete space. This construction allows us to find the number of connected components, to determine their connectivity degree, and to solve visibility problem. We show that the CAD construction, when performed on two orthogonal views, supply information to avoid ambiguities in the interpretation of each image component. The implementation of the algorithm is outlined and the computati…

The self-organizing consciousness

2003

We propose that the isomorphism generally observed between the representations composing our momentary phenomenal experience and the structure of the world is the end-product of a progressive organization that emerges thanks to elementary associative processes that take our conscious representations themselves as the stuff on which they operate, a thesis that we summarize in the concept of Self-Organizing Consciousness (SOC).

Orbits of bounded bijective operators and Gabor frames

2020

This paper is a contribution to frame theory. Frames in a Hilbert space are generalizations of orthonormal bases. In particular, Gabor frames of $L^2(\mathbb{R})$, which are made of translations and modulations of one or more windows, are often used in applications. More precisely, the paper deals with a question posed in the last years by Christensen and Hasannasab about the existence of overcomplete Gabor frames, with some ordering over $\mathbb{Z}$, which are orbits of bounded operators on $L^2(\mathbb{R})$. Two classes of overcomplete Gabor frames which cannot be ordered over $\mathbb{Z}$ and represented by orbits of operators in $GL(L^2(\mathbb{R}))$ are given. Some results about opera…

LA CONTRATTAZIONE COLLETTIVA NEGLI STATI UNITI DAL WAGNER ACT AI NOSTRI GIORNI

2016

LA CONTRATTAZIONE COLLETTIVA NEGLI STATI UNITI. DAL WAGNER ACT AI NOSTRI GIORNI. — Riassunto. Il presente lavoro analizza la legislazione statunitense in materia di contrattazione collettiva sin dall’emanazione del Wagner Act nel 1935. Al riguardo, vengono discusse le regole per il riconoscimento dei sindacati nei luoghi di lavoro e per la stipula degli accordi collettivi (principio di maggioranza e rappresentanza esclusiva, obbligo di negoziare secondo buona fede) e per la gestione del conflitto industriale (arbitrato e clausola di tregua): sulla scorta di un approccio storico-critico e dei leading case giurisprudenzialil’articolosottolineailcarattereprettamenteaziendaleeprivatisticodellere…

Self-Representation of Children Suffering from Congenital Heart Disease and Maternal Competence

2013

Background: Child development may be subject to forms of motor, physical, cognitive and self-representation impairments when complex congenital heart disease (CHD) occurs. In some cases, inadequacy of both self-representation as well as the family system are displayed. It seems to be important to search the likely internal and external resources of the CHD child, and the possible connections among such resources, which may help him/her to manage his/her own risk condition. Design and Methods: The research project inquires the possible resources related to the self-representation and self-esteem levels of the CHD child, and those related to maternal self-perception as competent mothers. A gr…
