چکیده

In this paper, we compare three heuristic methods for choosing which of a set of features to use to represent a domain of stimuli when we know the categories to which those stimuli belong. Our methods are based on three measures of category differentiation: cue validity, category validity, and their product, collocation. In a comparison of their ability to predict human similarity ratings in the Leuven Natural Concept Database, we find collocation to have the best performance, suggesting people use both cue and category validities in choosing which features to represent.

Receptive Field Encoding Model for Dynamic Natural Vision

Introduction: Encoding models are used to predict human brain activity in response to sensory stimuli. The purpose of these models is to explain how sensory information represent in the brain. Convolutional neural networks trained by images are capable of encoding magnetic resonance imaging data of humans viewing natural images. Considering the hemodynamic response function, these networks are ...

Stress and Perception of Emotional Stimuli: Long-term Stress Rewiring the Brain

Introduction: Long-term stressful situations can drastically influence one’s mental life. However, the effect of mental stress on recognition of emotional stimuli needs to be explored. In this study, recognition of emotional stimuli in a stressful situation was investigated. Four emotional conditions, including positive and negative states in both low and high levels of arousal were analy...

Three New Heuristic Algorithms For The Fleet Size And Mix Green Vehicle Routing Problem

In recent years, great efforts have been made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by vehicles. Petroleum products produces greenhouse gas emissions, therefore reducing the use of these products can make a major contribution to reducing pollution. The Fleet Size and Mix Vehicle Routing Problem is one of the most widely used routing branches. In this problem, there are vehicle with different capac...

Finding the features that represent stimuli.

We develop a model for finding the features that represent a set of stimuli, and apply it to the Leuven Concept Database. The model combines the feature generation and similarity judgment task data, inferring whether each of the generated features is important for explaining the patterns of similarity between stimuli. Across four datasets, we show that features range from being very important t...

Cells are active components in their environment and constantly adjusting their performance to improve extracellular milieu changing. This approach is reflected their tends of maintaining intracellular homeostasis. When the cells encounter stress or pathologic stimuli, they can undergo a new manner (adaptation) and new steady state for achieving viability and function. If the external stress is...
