Active Sensing for Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-21)Context information on a smart phone can be used to tailor applications for specific situations (e.g. provide tailored routing advice based on location, gas prices and traffic). However, typical context-aware smart phone ... -
Orienting to probable stimuli increases speed, precision, and kurtosis. A study in perceptual estimation.
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-15)Stimulus probabilities affect detection performance. Rare targets, even in security or medical screenings, are missed more often than frequent ones. To minimize such probability-related costs, there is a need to understand ... -
A Parallel Study of the Fock Space Approach to Classical and Free Brownian Motion
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-28)The purpose of this thesis is to elaborate the similarities between the classical and the free probability by means of developing the chaos decomposition of stochastic integrals driven by Brownian motion and its free ... -
The Perceptual Mechanisms of Probability Effects
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-13)Environmental statistics impact human behaviour. The more likely something is to occur, the faster and more accurate we are at detecting it. This probability effect has been studied in numerous forms. However, there is no ...
