ATTENTION, INTENTIONS, AND THE STRUCTURE OF DISCOURSE
, 1986
"... In this paper we explore a new theory of discourse structure that stresses the role of purpose and processing in discourse. In this theory, discourse structure is composed of three separate but interre-lated components: the structure of the sequence of utterances (called the linguistic structure), a ..."

recognizing how the utterances of the discourse aggregate into segments, recognizing the intentions expressed in the discourse and the relationships among intentions, and track-ing the discourse through the operation of the mechanisms associated with attentional state.

Attentional mechanisms in the generation of sympathy
- Judgm. Decis. Mak
, 2009
"... Empathic responses, such as sympathy towards others, are a key ingredient in the decision to provide help to those in need. The determinants of empathic responses are usually thought to be the vividness, similarity, and proximity of the victim. However, recent research highlights the role that atten ..."

that attention plays in the generation of feelings. We expanded on this idea by investigating whether sympathy depends on cognitive mechanisms such as attention. In two studies we found that sympathy responses were lower and reaction times were longer when targets were presented with distractors. In addition
Attention mechanisms in the CHREST cognitive architecture

, 2008
"... Abstract. In this paper, we describe the attention mechanisms in CHREST, a computational architecture of human visual expertise. CHREST organises information acquired by direct experience from the world in the form of chunks. These chunks are searched for, and verified, by a unique set of heuristics ..."

Attentional Mechanisms in Computer Vision
- In V. Cantoni (Ed.), Artificial Vision, Human and Machine Perception
, 1997
"... Introduction Biological vision is foveated, highly goal oriented and task dependent. This observation, which is rather clear if we trace the behavior of practically every vertebrate, is now being taken seriously into consideration by the computer vision community. This is evident from recent work o ..."

Rapid object detection using a boosted cascade of simple features
- ACCEPTED CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER VISION AND PATTERN RECOGNITION 2001
, 2001
"... This paper describes a machine learning approach for visual object detection which is capable of processing images extremely rapidly and achieving high detection rates. This work is distinguished by three key contributions. The first is the introduction of a new image representation called the " ..."

is a method for combining increasingly more complex classifiers in a "cascade" which allows background regions of the image to be quickly discarded while spending more computation on promising object-like regions. The cascade can be viewed as an object specific focus-of-attention mechanism
Attentional Mechanisms as a Strategy for
"... this paper is the 1- step Qlearning algorithm (Watkins, 1989). Essentially, it is an iterative procedure for estimation of the expected discounted rewards Q x a , a f for executing an action a at state x and following an action policy p thereafter. For a given state x , the action Supported by the N ..."
On the control of automatic processes: A parallel distributed processing account of the Stroop effect
- Psychological Review
, 1990
"... Traditional views of automaticity are in need of revision. For example, automaticity otten has been treated as an all-or-none phenomenon, and traditional ~es have held that automatic processes are independent of attention. Yet recent empirical data suggest that automatic processes are continu-ous, a ..."

Controlled and automatic human information processing
- I. Detection, search, and attention. Psychological Review
, 1977
"... A two-process theory of human information processing is proposed and applied to detection, search, and attention phenomena. Automatic processing is activa-tion of a learned sequence of elements in long-term memory that is initiated by appropriate inputs and then proceeds automatically—without subjec ..."
