Abstract: A new feature generation algorithm for sequence data sets, called
Mutated Subsequence Generation (MSG), is presented. Given a data set of
sequences, the MSG algorithm generates features from these sequences by
incorporating mutative positions in subsequences. We compare this algorithm
with other sequence-based feature generation algorithms, including
position-based, #-grams, and #-gapped pairs. Our experiments show that the
MSG algorithm outperforms these other algorithms in domains in which presence,
not specific location, of sequential patterns.

- Experiences from the DARPA challenge
In this work, we present our system design, operational procedure, testing
process, field results, and lessons learned for the valve-turning task of the
DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC). We present a software framework for cooperative
traded control that enables a team of operators to control a remote humanoid
robot over an unreliable communication link. Our system, composed of software
modules running on-board the robot and on a remote workstation, allows the
operators to specify the manipulation task in a straightforward manner. In
addition, we have defined a clear operational procedure for the operators to
manage the teleoperation task, designed to improve situation awareness and
expedite task completion. Our testing process, consisting of hands-on intensive
testing, remote testing, and remote practice runs, demonstrates that our
framework is able to perform reliably and is resilient to unreliable network
conditions. We analyze our approach, field tests, and experience at the DRC
Trials and discuss lessons learned which may be useful for others when
designing similar systems.
