The DELVE user manual

Rasmussen, CE., Neal, RM., Hinton, GE., van Camp, D., Revow, M., Ghahramani, Z., Kustra, R., Tibshirani, R.

Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, December 1996 (techreport)

Abstract
This manual describes the preliminary release of the DELVE environment. Some features described here have not yet implemented, as noted. Support for regression tasks is presently somewhat more developed than that for classification tasks. We recommend that you exercise caution when using this version of DELVE for real work, as it is possible that bugs remain in the software. We hope that you will send us reports of any problems you encounter, as well as any other comments you may have on the software or manual, at the e-mail address below. Please mention the version number of the manual and/or the software with any comments you send.

Nonlinear Component Analysis as a Kernel Eigenvalue Problem

Schölkopf, B., Smola, A., Müller, K.

(44), Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics Tübingen, December 1996, This technical report has also been published elsewhere (techreport)

Abstract
We describe a new method for performing a nonlinear form of Principal Component Analysis. By the use of integral operator kernel functions, we can efficiently compute principal components in high-dimensional feature spaces, related to input space by some nonlinear map; for instance the space of all possible 5-pixel products in 16 x 16 images. We give the derivation of the method, along with a discussion of other techniques which can be made nonlinear with the kernel approach; and present first experimental results on nonlinear feature extraction for pattern recognition.

Learning View Graphs for Robot Navigation

Franz, M., Schölkopf, B., Georg, P., Mallot, H., Bülthoff, H.

(33), Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, Tübingen,, July 1996 (techreport)

Abstract
We present a purely vision-based scheme for learning a parsimonious representation of an open environment. Using simple exploration behaviours, our system constructs a graph of appropriately chosen views. To navigate between views connected in the graph, we employ a homing strategy inspired by findings of insect ethology. Simulations and robot experiments demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.
