The functional perspective on attitudes suggests that individuals will be more persuaded by advertisements that match their individual needs or attitude functions. Although previous research provided correlational support for this functional approach, the current study aimed to provide a stronger, experimental test. A pilot study validated situational manipulations of the value-expressive and k...

In active learning, acquisition functions define informativeness directly on the representation position within model manifold. However, for most machine learning models (in particular neural networks) this is not fixed due to training pool fluctuations in between rounds. Therefore, several popular strategies are sensitive experiment parameters (e.g. architecture) and do consider robustness out...
