The threshold-versus-duration curve is nonmonotonic

Monotonic Versus Nonmonotonic Language Learning

In the present paper strong{monotonic, monotonic and weak{monotonic reasoning is studied in the context of algorithmic language learning theory from positive as well as from positive and negative data. Strong{monotonicity describes the requirement to only produce better and better generalizations when more and more data are fed to the inference device. Monotonic learning re ects the eventual in...

How Nonmonotonic Is Aboutness? How Nonmonotonic Is Aboutness?

The notion of aboutness is fundamental to information retrieval. Assume there is a document d which is about query q. Now, if information is added to d yielding ~ d, the question arises whether document ~ d is about q? In other words, is aboutness monotonic with respect to information composition? This article shows that aboutness does have nonmonotonic character with respect to composition.

Threshold Effects in Sticky Information Philips Curve: Evidence from Iran

During the last decade, several studies have argued that sticky information model proposed by Mankiw and Reis (2002), in which firms update their information occasionally rather than instantaneously, explains some stylized facts about the inflation dynamics. Sticky information pricing model successfully captures the sluggish movement of aggregate prices in response to monetary policy shocks. De...
