Programming a robot to deal with open-ended tasks remains a challenge, in particular if the robot has to manipulate objects. Launching, grasping, pushing or any other object interaction can be simulated but the corresponding models are not reversible and the robot behavior thus cannot be directly deduced. These behavio...
Several methods have been put forward to make robot autonomously explore their environment and learn new skills to reach various goals. An important part of this literature treats this as a control problem, where the system learns an inverse model (or multiple inverse models) to generate the motor commands in order to ...

To overcome the drawback of global face-based restoration methods, local patch-based restoration methods decompose face image into small patches, which can capture more facial details. Local patch-based restoration methods assume that LR and HR face patch manifolds are locally isometric. Therefore, once obtaining the r...

However, these skip-connections in @cite_28 @cite_34 fail to explore the underlying sequential relationship among multi-level feature maps in image restoration problem. Therefore, we design our SGEN followed by the goal of autoencoder, which sequentially extracts high level information from base-encoders in bottom-up m...

We consider multi-agent systems where agents actions and beliefs are determined aleatorically, or "by the throw of dice". This system consists of possible worlds that assign distributions to independent random variables, and agents who assign probabilities to these possible worlds. We present a novel syntax and semanti...
These approaches lose the simplicity of Boolean logics, as deductive systems must deal with propositions that are not independent. This limits their practicality as well defined semantics require the conditional probabilities of all atoms to be known. However, these approaches have been successfully combined with logic...

More general foundational work on reasoning probabilistically was done by de Finetti @cite_3 who established an epistemic notion of probability based on what an agent would consider to be a rational wager (the Dutch book argument). In @cite_21 , Milne incorporates these ideas into the logic of conditional events. Staln...

A capsule is a group of neurons, whose activity vector represents the instantiation parameters of a specific type of entity. In this paper, we explore the capsule networks used for relation extraction in a multi-instance multi-label learning framework and propose a novel neural approach based on capsule networks with a...
In the recent years, NN models have shown superior performance over approaches using hand-crafted features in various tasks. CNN is the first one of the deep learning models that have been applied to relation extraction @cite_14 . Variants of convolutional networks include piecewise-CNN (PCNN) @cite_16 , instance-level...

Recently, the capsule network has been proposed to improve the representation limitations of CNNs and RNNs. @cite_13 replaced the scalar-output feature detectors of CNNs with vector-output capsules and max-pooling with routing-by-agreement. @cite_21 ) proposed a new iterative routing procedure among capsule layers, bas...

As science advances, the academic community has published millions of research papers. Researchers devote time and effort to search relevant manuscripts when writing a paper or simply to keep up with current research. In this paper, we consider the problem of citation recommendation by extending a set of known-to-be-re...
