Situated Experiments in Organizations: Transplanting the Lab to the Field

How to Facilitate Social Contagion?

Achieving the Millennium Development Goals has proven to be a real challenge. Providing evidence on cost-effective interventions did not prove to be sufficient to secure the trust of national authorities, health care providers and patients. Introducing change in a health system requires a good understanding of the relationships between the actors of the system. Social network analysis can provi...

Using Statistics of Natural Images to Facilitate Automatic Receptive Field Analysis

A neuron can be conceptualized as performing a function on its inputs. This stimulus/response function characterizes “what the neuron does” and is the main object of interest for cellular-level neuroscience. Automated methods for discovering certain properties of stimulus/response functions have many advantages over traditional methods [4]. They can perform more exhaustive searches, use less-bi...

A Context-free Requirements Grammar to Facilitate Automatic Assessment

Poor requirements are often cited as a leading cause of project failures. Preparing a good set of requirements presents challenges at many levels. The approach of the authors is to work from the bottom up by formulating a stylized English grammar that can be used to describe requirements in a more precise way. The grammar was derived from an examination for the literary practices of requirement...

Transplanting supertags from English to Spanish

In this paper, we present an approach to quickly develop supertags for a target language given supertags for another language (reference language), along with a sentence-aligned parallel corpus between reference language and target language pairs. Our method can be interpreted as composing the alignment relation with dependency relation of the reference sentence to obtain the dependency relatio...
