The notion of affordances that was proposed by JJ. Gibson, refers to the action possibilities offered to the organism by its environment. In a previous formalization, affordances are defined as general relations that pertain to the robot-environment interaction and they are represented as triples which consist of the initial percept of the environment, the behavior applied and the effect produced. In this paper, we focus on the object affordances and propose a developmental method that enables the robot to ground symbolic object-based operators in its own continuous sensory-motor experiences. The method allows the robot to learn the object affordance relations which can be used to predict the change in the percept of the object when a certain behavior is executed.

Curiosity-driven learning of traversability affordance on a mobile robot
Ugur, Emre; Dogar, Mehmet R.; Cakmak, Maya; Şahin, Erol (2007-07-13)
The concept of affordances, as proposed by J.J. Gibson, refers to the relationship between the organism and its environment and has become popular in autonomous robot control. The learning of affordances in autonomous robots, however, typically requires a large set of training data obtained from the interactions of the robot with its environment. Therefore, the learning process is not only time-consuming, and costly but is also risky since some of the interactions may inflict damage on the robot. In this pa...
Modeling of a Three-Dimensional Spherulite Microstructure in Semicrystalline Polymers
Oktay, Hasan Emre; Gürses, Ercan (Springer, 2016-01-01)
A finite element (FE) model, that explicitly discretizes a single 3D spherulite is proposed. A spherulite is a two-phase microstructure consisting of amorphous and crystalline regions. Crystalline regions, that grow from a central nucleus in the form of lamellae, have particular lattice orientations. In the FE analyses, 8-chain and crystal viscoplasticity constitutive models are employed. Stress-strain distributions and slip system activities in the spherulite microstructure are studied and found to be in g...

Modeling Morpheme Triplets with a Three-level Hierarchical Dirichlet Process
Kumyol, Serkan; CAN BUĞLALILAR, BURCU (2016-11-23)
Morphemes are not independent units and attached to each other based on morphotactics. However, they are assumed to be independent from each other to cope with the complexity in most of the models in the literature. We introduce a language independent model for unsupervised morphological segmentation using hierarchical Dirichlet process (HDP). We model the morpheme dependencies in terms of morpheme trigrams in each word. Trigrams, bigrams and unigrams are modeled within a three-level HDP, where the trigram ...
A QCD Sum Rules Approach to Mixing of Hadrons
Alıyev, Tahmasıb; Özpineci, Altuğ (2010-06-24)
A method for the calculation of the hadronic mixing angles using QCD sum rules is proposed. This method is then applied to predict the mixing angle between the heavy cascade hyperons Xi(Q) and Xi'Q where Q = c or Q = b. It is obtained the theta(b) = 6.4 degrees +/- 1.8 degrees and theta(c) = 5.5 degrees +/- 1.8 degrees.
