Previous research has found evidence in favor of two subsystems underlying object recognition: an abstract-category subsystem that mainly works in the left hemisphere (LH) and a specific-exemplar subsystem that mainly works in the right hemisphere (RH). This asymmetry has been observed in both the visual and auditory domains by means of long-term repetition priming experiments. This study explo...

In this paper we present two main results about the inapproximability of the exemplar conserved interval distance problem of genomes. First, we prove that it is NP-complete to decide whether the exemplar conserved interval distance between any two genomes is zero or not. This result implies that the exemplar conserved interval distance problem does not admit any approximation in polynomial time...

To suitably complete an image without seams, block effects, and artifacts, a novel exemplar-based image completion model employing partial differential equation (PDE) is proposed. Firstly, the novel model determines the processing order of exemplar according to a composite function, which is the product of the colour property and structure property in exemplar. Then the exemplar along a geometr...

Abstract – Exemplar-based image inpainting techniques face two main problems. One is the decision of filling-in order which has a strong...

Exemplar theory assumes that people categorize a novel object by comparing its similarity to the memory representations of all previous exemplars from each relevant category. Exemplar theory has been the most prominent cognitive theory of categorization for more than 30 years. Despite its considerable success in providing good quantitative fits to a wide variety of accuracy data, it has never h...

Exemplar and distributional accounts of categorization make differing predictions for the classification of a critical exemplar precisely halfway between the nearest exemplars of two categories differing in variability. Under standard conditions of sequential presentation, the critical exemplar was classified into the most similar, least variable category, consistent with an exemplar account. H...

Recent years have witnessed the emergence of a cluster of approaches in linguistic theory known as exemplar-based models. Such exemplar-based models are being developed in research domains as diverse as phonetics, phonology, morphology, historical linguistics, semantics, syntax, and language acquisition. This special issue brings together, for the first time, articles applying exemplar-based mo...

The absence of unified and inclusive special education service delivery models represents a longstanding challenge to the education of students with the full range of disabilities in inclusive schools and classrooms. An exemplar model is offered for elementary schools within a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) framework. To establish its practicality and cost-neutrality, the development of ...
