In category-based induction tasks, it is a robust finding that positive observations raise the judged likelihood of a conclusion and negative observations lower judged likelihood. We present evidence that negative observations can raise the judged likelihood. In particular, we asked participants to judge the likelihood of a conclusion after introducing them to different sets of premises either ...

This work develops algorithmic results for the classic cake-cutting problem in which a divisible, heterogeneous resource (modeled as cake) needs to be partitioned among agents with distinct preferences. We focus on standard formulation of cake cutting wherein each agent must receive contiguous piece cake. Although multiple hardness exist this setup finding fair/efficient divisions, we show that...
