Text classification from labeled and unlabeled documents using EM

K Nigam, AK McCallum, S Thrun, T Mitchell - Machine learning, 2000 - Springer
Abstract This paper shows that the accuracy of learned text classifiers can be improved by
augmenting a small number of labeled training documents with a large pool of unlabeled
documents. This is important because in many text classification problems obtaining training

[PDF][PDF] FastSLAM: A factored solution to the simultaneous localization and mapping problem

M Montemerlo, S Thrun, D Koller, B Wegbreit - Aaai/iaai, 2002 - aaai.org
Abstract The ability to simultaneously localize a robot and accurately map its surroundings is
considered by many to be a key prerequisite of truly autonomous robots. However, few
approaches to this problem scale up to handle the very large number of landmarks present

[HTML][HTML] Robust Monte Carlo localization for mobile robots

S Thrun, D Fox, W Burgard, F Dellaert - Artificial intelligence, 2001 - Elsevier
Mobile robot localization is the problem of determining a robot's pose from sensor data. This
article presents a family of probabilistic localization algorithms known as Monte Carlo
Localization (MCL). MCL algorithms represent a robot's belief by a set of weighted

Robotic mapping: A survey

S Thrun - Exploring artificial intelligence in the new millennium, 2002 - books.google.com
Abstract This article provides a comprehensive introduction into the field ot" robotic mapping,
with a focus on indoor mapping. It describes and compares various probabilistic techniques,
as they are presently being applied to a vast array of mobile robot mapping problems. The

Monte carlo localization for mobile robots

…, D Fox, W Burgard, S Thrun - Robotics and Automation, …, 1999 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Abstract To navigate reliably in indoor environments, a mobile robot must know where it is.
Thus, reliable position estimation is a key problem in mobile robotics. We believe that
probabilistic approaches are among the most promising candidates to providing a

[HTML][HTML] Learning metric-topological maps for indoor mobile robot navigation

S Thrun - Artificial Intelligence, 1998 - Elsevier
Autonomous robots must be able to learn and maintain models of their environments.
Research on mobile robot navigation has produced two major paradigms for mapping
indoor environments: grid-based and topological. While grid-based methods produce

[PDF][PDF] Monte carlo localization: Efficient position estimation for mobile robots

D Fox, W Burgard, F Dellaert, S Thrun - AAAI/IAAI, 1999 - aaai.org
Abstract This paper presents a new algorithm for mobile robot localization, called Monte
Carlo Localization (MCL). MCL is a version of Markov localization, a family of probabilistic
approaches that have recently been applied with great practical success. However, previous

Stanley: The robot that won the DARPA Grand Challenge

S Thrun, M Montemerlo, H Dahlkamp… - Journal of field …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract This article describes the robot Stanley, which won the 2005 DARPA Grand
Challenge. Stanley was developed for high-speed desert driving without manual
intervention. The robot's software system relied predominately on state-of-the-art artificial

A probabilistic approach to concurrent mapping and localization for mobile robots

S Thrun, W Burgard, D Fox - Autonomous Robots, 1998 - Springer
Abstract This paper addresses the problem of building large-scale geometric maps of indoor
environments with mobile robots. It poses the map building problem as a constrained,
probabilistic maximum-likelihood estimation problem. It then devises a practical algorithm for
