Testing Game Theory

by Jörgen W. Weibull , 2004
"... Experimentalists frequently claim that human subjects in the laboratory violate game-theoretic predictions. It is here argued that this claim is usually premature. The paper elaborates on this theme by way of raising some conceptual and methodological issues in connection with the very definition of ..."

The Great Reversals: The Politics of Financial Development in the Twentieth Century

by Raghuram G. Rajan , Luigi Zingales - JOURNAL OF FINANCIAL ECONOMICS , 2003
"... The state of development of the financial sector does not change monotonically over time. In particular, by most measures, countries were more financially developed in 1913 than in 1980 and only recently have they surpassed their 1913 levels. To explain these changes, we propose an interest group ..."

theory of financial development where incumbents oppose financial development because it breeds competition. The theory predicts that incumbents' opposition will be weaker when an economy allows both cross-border trade and capital flows. This theory can go some way in accounting for the cross

Hierarchical Models of Object Recognition in Cortex

by Maximilian Riesenhuber, Tomaso Poggio , 1999
"... The classical model of visual processing in cortex is a hierarchy of increasingly sophisticated representations, extending in a natural way the model of simple to complex cells of Hubel and Wiesel. Somewhat surprisingly, little quantitative modeling has been done in the last 15 years to explore th ..."

Diagnosing multiple faults.

by Johan De Kleer , Brian C Williams - Artificial Intelligence, , 1987
"... Abstract Diagnostic tasks require determining the differences between a model of an artifact and the artifact itself. The differences between the manifested behavior of the artifact and the predicted behavior of the model guide the search for the differences between the artifact and its model. The ..."

Combining Branch Predictors

by Scott Mcfarling , 1993
"... One of the key factors determining computer performance is the degree to which the implementation can take advantage of instruction-level paral-lelism. Perhaps the most critical limit to this parallelism is the presence of conditional branches that determine which instructions need to be executed ne ..."

next. To increase parallelism, several authors have suggested ways of predicting the direction of conditional branches with hardware that uses the history of previous branches. The different proposed predictors take advan-tage of different observed patterns in branch behavior. This paper presents a

Explicit Allocation of Best-Effort Packet Delivery Service

by David D. Clark, et al. , 1998
"... This paper presents the “allocated-capacity” framework for providing different levels of best-effort service in times of network congestion. The “allocatedcapacity” framework—extensions to the Internet protocols and algorithms—can allocate bandwidth to different users in a controlled and predictable ..."

and predictable way during network congestion. The framework supports two complementary ways of controlling the bandwidth allocation: sender-based and receiver-based. In today’s heterogeneous and commercial Internet the framework can serve as a basis for charging for usage and for more efficiently utilizing

Verbal reports as data

by K. Anders Ericsson, Herbert A. Simon - Psychological Review , 1980
"... The central proposal of this article is that verbal reports are data. Accounting for verbal reports, as for other kinds of data, requires explication of the mech-anisms by which the reports are generated, and the ways in which they are sensitive to experimental factors (instructions, tasks, etc.). W ..."

Electronic Markets and Electronic Hierarchies

by Robert I. Benjamin, Thomas W. Malone, Joanne Yates - Communications of the ACM , 1987
"... This paper analyzes the fundamental changes in market structures that may result from the increasing use of information technology. First, an analytic framework is presented and its usefulness is demonstrated in explaining several major historical changes in American business structures. Then, the f ..."

, the framework is used to help explain how electronic markets and electronic hierarchies will allow closer integration of adjacent steps in the value added chains of our economy. The most surprising prediction is that information technology will lead to an overall shift toward proportionately more coordination

Dynamic Bayesian Networks: Representation, Inference and Learning

by Kevin Patrick Murphy , 2002
"... Modelling sequential data is important in many areas of science and engineering. Hidden Markov models (HMMs) and Kalman filter models (KFMs) are popular for this because they are simple and flexible. For example, HMMs have been used for speech recognition and bio-sequence analysis, and KFMs have bee ..."

been used for problems ranging from tracking planes and missiles to predicting the economy. However, HMMs and KFMs are limited in their “expressive power”. Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBNs) generalize HMMs by allowing the state space to be represented in factored form, instead of as a single discrete

Romantic Love Conceptualized as an Attachment Process,”

by Cindy Hazan , Phillip Shaver , Mary Ainsworth , John Bowlby , Harry Gollob , Kirk-Patrick Lee , Roger Kobak , Anne Peplau , Harry Reis , Judith Schwartz , Ar-Lene Skolnick , Robert Sternberg - Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, , 1987
"... This article explores the possibility that romantic love is an attachment process--a biosocial process by which affectional bonds are formed between adult lovers, just as affectional bonds are formed earlier in life between human infants and their parents. Key components of attachment theory, devel ..."
