21/01/2010 - Lecture notes on Network Information Theory
If you are interested in network information theory you might want to check out this pdf of combined lecture notes from several graduate classes.
Network information theory deals with the fundamental limits on information flow in networks and optimal coding techniques and protocols that achieve these limits. It extends Shannon’s point-to-point information theory and the Ford–Fulkerson [...]
08/05/2008 - Sparse Distributed Memory
Sparse distributed memory first appeared in 1998 as a model of long term memory in humans. The main idea is that distances between concepts in our brains can be represented as distances between points in a high dimension world. Since distances between points are far apart in many dimensions, the distance between concepts [...]

Backward induction
All games and all competitions can be represented by trees. Each node represents a place to make a decision, each edge represents a decision that can be made from that node. One of the simplest games we all know is tic-tac-toe. The game tree for tic-tac-toe has [...]

Braitenberg Vehicles
Synthetic psychology is a field where biological behavior is synthesized rather than analyzed. The father of such behavior Valentino Braitenberg ( home page ) did some interesting work with toy vehicles in the 1986 book “Vehicles: Experiments in Synthetic Psychology“.
The Braitenberg vehicles were simple toy cars with light [...]
17/12/2007 - Graphical models of knowledge representation
Reasoning using graphical models is rapidly gaining popularity. Not just used in reasoning they are also becoming useful in computer vision where they are used to classify objects.
Graphical models include: constraint networks, Markov random fields, belief networks, Bayes networks and influence diagrams.
Traditionally algorithms for these networks have been either inference-based or search based. [...]
14/11/2007 - Lua scripting language
I’ve been hearing more and more about Lua and today finally had enough free time to download, install and play with it a bit.
I downloaded the source filse and they compiled and installed painlessly on the Mac, just follow the directions in the INSTALL file. There is a folder full of test applications. [...]
