Doing It Now or Later
, 1996
"... Though economists assume that intertemporal preferences are time-consistent, evidence suggests that a person 's relative preference for well-being at an earlier moment over a later moment increases as the earlier moment gets closer. We explore the behavioral and welfare implications of such tim ..."

salient rewards # where the rewards of an action are immediate but any costs are delayed? Second, are people sophisticated #theyforesee future self-control problems # or are they naive # they do not anticipate these self-control problems? Naive people procrastinate activities with salient costs
The Multi-Faces of Procrastination
, 2010
"... Often people procrastinate unpleasant tasks for immediate gratification in doing noth-ing today. Therefore many scholars have been engaged in designing incentive schemes to avoid it. We think the process is very complicated and many features need to be analyzed, as the subjective evaluations of succ ..."

In this paper we explore all these possibilities and underline conditions for they happen. We also discuss our results
Procrastination in Preparing for Retirement

, 1998
"... Investing for retirement is one of the most important tasks of a person's life, and yet many people do a very poor job. This paper argues that a plausibly important source of poor performance is procrastination. We present a simple model and calibration exercises showing how a person who nai ..."

Procrastination on Long-Term Projects
, 2002
"... Previous papers on time-inconsistent procrastination assume projects are completed once begun. We develop a model in which a person chooses whether and when to complete each stage of a long-term project. In addition to procrastination in starting a project, a naive person might undertake costly effo ..."

Construal level and procrastination, 1 Construal Level and Procrastination
"... Abstract According to Construal Level Theory, events that are distant in time tend to be represented more abstractly than are events that are close in time. This mental association between level of abstractness and temporal distance is proposed to be a bi-directional relationship, such that level o ..."

, 3 Construal Level and Procrastination Why do people wait until the last minute to get started on tasks? It may be only when a deadline is looming that we first begin to consider the specifics of a task, including what will be required to complete it, the context in which it will take place
Detecting People Using Mutually Consistent Poselet Activations ⋆
"... Abstract. Bourdev and Malik (ICCV 09) introduced a new notion of parts, poselets, constructed to be tightly clustered both in the configuration space of keypoints, as well as in the appearance space of image patches. In this paper we develop a new algorithm for detecting people using poselets. Unlik ..."

. Unlike that work which used 3D annotations of keypoints, we use only 2D annotations which are much easier for naive human annotators. The main algorithmic contribution is in how we use the pattern of poselet activations. Individual poselet activations are noisy, but considering the spatial context
4 There is evidence that procrastination, cognitive costs of action, and forgetfulness contribute to inertia
"... Abstract: We present evidence from randomized field experiments that 401(k) savings choices are significantly affected by one-to two-sentence anchoring, goal-setting, or savings threshold cues embedded in emails sent to employees about their 401(k) plan. Even though these cues contain little to no ..."

Although information about the 60% maximum was not present in the control email, it is such a high contribution rate that it is not a relevant constraint for most employees, so
Automatically classifying emails into activities
- In Proc. of IUI-06, pages 70 – 77
, 2006
"... Email-based activity management systems promise to give users better tools for managing increasing volumes of email, by organizing email according to a user’s activities. Current activity management systems do not automatically classify incoming messages by the activity to which they belong, instead ..."

Our SimSubset and SimOverlap algorithms compare the people involved in an activity against the recipients of each incoming message. Our SimContent algorithm uses IRR (a variant of latent semantic indexing) to classify emails
Using Naive Bayes to Detect Spammy Names in Social Networks
, 2013
"... Many social networks are predicated on the assumption that a member’s online information reflects his or her real identity. In such networks, members who fill their name fields with fictitious identities, company names, phone numbers, or just gibberish are violating the terms of service, polluting s ..."

Maraviroc: perspectives for use in antiretroviral-naive HIV-1-infected patients
"... Maraviroc (Pfizer’s UK-427857, Selzentry or Celsentri outside the USA) is the first agent in the new class of oral HIV-1 entry inhibitors to acquire approval by the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicine Agency. Considering the mechanism of action, it is expected that this drug wi ..."

The favourable toxicity profile of the drug has been demonstrated in Phase III clinical trials in treatment-naive (MERIT) and treatment-experienced (MOTIVATE) patients. In the latter population, maraviroc
