However, as we learn more about the semantics of various languages, we are faced with an interesting problem. Different languages seem to be telling us different stories about the mind. For example, important distinctions made in one language are not necessarily made in others.
"With the ubiquitous presence of video data and its increasing importance in a wide range of real-world applications, it is becoming increasingly necessary to automatically analyze and interpret object motions from large quantities of footage. Machine Learning for Human Motion Analysis: Theory and Practice highlights the development of robust and effective vision-based motion understanding systems. This advanced publication addresses a broad audience including practicing professionals working with specific vision applications such as surveillance, sport event analysis, healthcare, video conferencing..."
THERE WILL BE DRAGONS is an exciting blending of future science fiction with some fantasy elements into a delightful action-packed tale. The story line never slows down from the moment Mother computes the odds in a mundane ho hum manner.
