Novel Drugs—Miscellaneous Category

Learning novel phonological neighbors: Syntactic category matters.

Novel words (like tog) that sound like well-known words (dog) are hard for toddlers to learn, even though children can hear the difference between them (Swingley & Aslin, 2002, 2007). One possibility is that phonological competition alone is the problem. Another is that a broader set of probabilistic considerations is responsible: toddlers may resist considering tog as a novel object label beca...

Category of Polygroup Objects

Category of $H$-groups

‎This paper develops a basic theory of $H$-groups‎. ‎We‎ ‎introduce a special quotient of $H$-groups and‎ ‎extend some algebraic constructions of topological groups to the category‎ ‎of H-groups and H-maps and then present a functor from this category to the category of quasitopological groups‎.

PiCoDes: Learning a Compact Code for Novel-Category Recognition

We introduce PICODES: a very compact image descriptor which nevertheless allows high performance on object category recognition. In particular, we address novel-category recognition: the task of defining indexing structures and image representations which enable a large collection of images to be searched for an object category that was not known when the index was built. Instead, the training ...

Mere Exposure Alters Category Learning of Novel Objects

We investigated how mere exposure to complex objects with correlated or uncorrelated object features affects later category learning of new objects not seen during exposure. Correlations among pre-exposed object dimensions influenced later category learning. Unlike other published studies, the collection of pre-exposed objects provided no information regarding the categories to be learned, ruli...
