Semantic priming and retrieval from lexical memory: Evidence for facilitatory and inhibitory processes

by James H. Neely - Memory & Cognition
"... Prior to each visually presented target letter string in a speeded word-nonword classification task, either BIRD, BODY, BUILDING, or xxx appeared as a priming event. When the target was a word, it was (a) a name of a type of bird on most BiRD-prime trials; (b) a name of part of a building on most BO ..."

Coupled hidden Markov models for complex action recognition

by Matthew Brand, Nuria Oliver, Alex Pentland , 1996
"... We present algorithms for coupling and training hidden Markov models (HMMs) to model interacting processes, and demonstrate their superiority to conventional HMMs in a vision task classifying two-handed actions. HMMs are perhaps the most successful framework in perceptual computing for modeling and ..."

and an extremely limited state memory. The single-process model is often inappropriate for vision (and speech) applications, resulting in low ceilings on model performance. Coupled HMMs provide an efficient way to resolve many of these problems, and offer superior training speeds, model likelihoods, and robustness

Answering the Skeptics: Yes, Standard Volatility Models Do Provide Accurate Forecasts

by Torben G. Andersen, Tim Bollerslev
"... Volatility permeates modern financial theories and decision making processes. As such, accurate measures and good forecasts of future volatility are critical for the implementation and evaluation of asset and derivative pricing theories as well as trading and hedging strategies. In response to this, ..."

Centrality in social networks conceptual clarification

by Linton C. Freeman - Social Networks , 1978
"... The intuitive background for measures of structural centrality in social networks is reviewed aPzd existing measures are evaluated in terms of their consistency with intuitions and their interpretability. Three distinct intuitive conceptions of centrality are uncovered and existing measures are refi ..."

are refined to embody these conceptions. Three measures are developed for each concept, one absolute and one relative measure of the ~entra~~t~ ~ of ~os~tio~ls in a network, and one relenting the degree of centralization of the entire network. The implications of these measures for the experimental study

A Model of Saliency-based Visual Attention for Rapid Scene Analysis

by Laurent Itti, Christof Koch, Ernst Niebur , 1998
"... A visual attention system, inspired by the behavior and the neuronal architecture of the early primate visual system, is presented. Multiscale image features are combined into a single topographical saliency map. A dynamical neural network then selects attended locations in order of decreasing salie ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1748 (72 self) - Add to MetaCart
Primates have a remarkable ability to interpret complex scenes in real time, despite the limited speed of the neuronal hardware available for such tasks. Intermediate and higher visual processes appear to select a subset of the available sensory information before further processing [1], most likely

Toward an instance theory of automatization

by Gordon D. Logan - Psychological Review , 1988
"... This article presents a theory in which automatization is construed as the acquisition of a domain-specific knowledge base, formed of separate representations, instances, of each exposure to the task. Processing is considered automatic if it relies on retrieval of stored instances, which will occur ..."

Consensus and cooperation in networked multi-agent systems

by Reza Olfati-Saber , J Alex Fax , Richard M Murray , Reza Olfati-Saber , J Alex Fax , Richard M Murray - Proceedings of the IEEE , 2007
"... Summary. This paper provides a theoretical framework for analysis of consensus algorithms for multi-agent networked systems with an emphasis on the role of directed information flow, robustness to changes in network topology due to link/node failures, time-delays, and performance guarantees. An ove ..."

Halfa century of research on the Stroop effect: An integrative review

by Colin M. Macleod - PsychologicalBulletin , 1991
"... The literature on interference in the Stroop Color-Word Task, covering over 50 years and some 400 studies, is organized and reviewed. In so doing, a set ofl 8 reliable empirical findings is isolated that must be captured by any successful theory of the Stroop effect. Existing theoretical positions a ..."

It is concluded that recent theories placing the explanatory weight on parallel processing of the irrelevant and the relevant

Gradient projection for sparse reconstruction: Application to compressed sensing and other inverse problems

by Mário A. T. Figueiredo, Robert D. Nowak, Stephen J. Wright - IEEE JOURNAL OF SELECTED TOPICS IN SIGNAL PROCESSING , 2007
"... Many problems in signal processing and statistical inference involve finding sparse solutions to under-determined, or ill-conditioned, linear systems of equations. A standard approach consists in minimizing an objective function which includes a quadratic (squared ℓ2) error term combined with a spa ..."
