This paper describes our approach to the Person Name Disambiguation clustering task in the Third Web People Search Evaluation Campaign(WePS3). The method focuses on two aspects: the extended feature sets, and feature relevance weighting. Bag-of-words and named entities are most commonly used features in many existing web entity disambiguation algorithms and we further extend this basic feature ...

In two-person generosity games the proposer's agreement payo is exogenously given whereas that of the responder is endogenously determined by the proposer's choice of the pie size. Earlier results for two-person generosity games show that participants seem to care more for e ciency than for equity. In three-person generosity games equal agreement payo s for two of the players are either exogeno...

The popularity of online games has inspired controversial discussion on the effects of game-play in both mass media and academia. However, we know little about ordinary people’s opinions about the effects of game-play. The current study applies the theory of the third-person effect (TPE) to examine people’s perceptions of game effects on self and on others, and detects significant third-person ...

The present research suggests that people shift perspective not according to the pictured event's desirability but according to w...

It has been proposed that common codes for vision and action emerge from associations between an individual's production and simultaneous observation of actions. This typically first-person view of one's own action subsequently transfers to the third-person view when observing another individual. We tested vision-action associations and the transfer from first-person to third-person perspective...

The sequencing of the human genome has been heralded as a major milestone in biological science that will, without doubt, provide fundamentally new ways of studying the human condition (Lander et al., 2001; Subramanian et al., 2001a; Venter et al., 2001). Yet, for a substantial portion of the world’s population, the human condition is defined by diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, cholera, ...

A study exploring gender differences in self-reported dream perspectives was performed with 282 college students. Significantly more of the 164 women reported dreaming exclusively in first person and more of the 114 men exclusively in third person. Also, gender differences were found for those who dreamed in mixed perspective, a combination of first- and third-person points of view. Possible re...

Following right-hemisphere damage, a specific disorder of motor awareness can occur called anosognosia for hemiplegia, i.e. the denial of motor deficits contralateral to a brain lesion. The study of anosognosia can offer unique insights into the neurocognitive basis of awareness. Typically, however, awareness is assessed as a first person judgement and the ability of patients to think about the...
