The current study is the first to examine the effects of actual and perceived similarity simultaneously during a face-to-face initial romantic encounter.

Our branch predictor proposed for the Championship Branch Prediction (CBP) contest is a hybrid/mutation of many different ideas previously proposed in the literature, combined with a few new techniques. The mix of traces requires the predictor to handle both capacity (large tables) and deep correlation extraction (long branch histories), both made difficult by the relatively small hardware budg...

Rhythmic synchronization phenomena in interpersonal communication are classified into two, based on its temporal aspect and behavioural form similarity aspect. We focus on the temporal aspect, movement synchrony, the gestalt-like perception of movement rhythmicity or coordination. With the aid of THEME, we aim to describe it based on statistical definition of objective behavioural data. Behavio...
