  abstract =	 {We present a method whereby a robot can learn to
                  recognize places with high accuracy, in spite of
                  perceptual aliasing (different places appear the
                  same) and image variability (the same place appears
                  differently). The first step in learning place
                  recognition restricts attention to distinctive
                  states identified by the map-learning algorithm, and
                  eliminates image variability by unsupervised
                  learning of clusters of similar sensory images. The
                  clusters define views associated with distinctive
                  states, often increasing perceptual aliasing. The
                  second step eliminates perceptual aliasing by
                  building a causal/topological map and using history
                  information gathered during exploration to
                  disambiguate distinctive states. The third step uses
                  the labeled images for supervised learning of direct
                  associations from sensory images to distinctive
                  states. We evaluate the method using a physical
                  mobile robot in two environments, showing high
                  recognition rates in spite of large amounts of
                  perceptual aliasing.},
