title: Towards Teaching a Robot to Count Objects creator: Vitay, Julien subject: Machine Learning subject: Neural Nets subject: Robotics description: We present here an example of incremental learning between two computational models dealing with different modalities: a model allowing to switch spatial visual attention and a model allowing to learn the ordinal sequence of phonetical numbers. Their merging via a common reward signal allows anyway to produce a cardinal counting behaviour that can be implemented on a robot. publisher: Lund University Cognitive Studies contributor: Berthouze, Luc contributor: Kaplan, Frédéric contributor: Kozima, Hideki contributor: Yano, Hiroyuki contributor: Konczak, Jürgen contributor: Metta, Giorgio contributor: Nadel, Jacqueline contributor: Sandini, Giulio contributor: Stojanov, Georgi contributor: Balkenius, Christian date: 2005 type: Conference Paper type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/4985/1/vitay.pdf identifier: Vitay, Julien (2005) Towards Teaching a Robot to Count Objects.
