A Comparative Study of Ontology Matching Systems via Inferential Statistics

Comparing ontology matching systems are typically performed by comparing their average performances over multiple datasets. However, this paper examines the alignment systems using statistical inference since averaging is statistically unsafe and inappropriate. The statistical tests for comparison of two or multiple alignment systems are...

Active vision via extremum seeking for robots in unstructured environments: Applications in object recognition and manipulation

In this paper, a novel active vision strategy is proposed for optimizing the viewpoint of a robot's vision sensor for a given success criterion. The strategy is based on extremum seeking control (ESC), which introduces two main advantages: 1) Our approach is model free: It does not require an explicit objective function or any other task...
