Prior meta-analyses investigating the relation between the Big 5 personality dimensions and job performance have all contained a threat to construct validity, in that much of the data included within these analyses was not derived from actual Big 5 measures. In addition, these reviews did not address the relations between the Big 5 and contextual performance. Therefore, the present study sought...

Small, body-mounted video cameras enable a diierent style of wearable computing interface. As processing power increases, a wearable computer can spend more time observing its user to provide serendipitous information , manage interruptions and tasks, and predict future needs without being directly commanded by the user. This paper introduces an assistant for playing the real-space game Patrol....

Natural language (NL) interfaces for DB query formulation have always been recognized as a much needed enhancement for end-users. Poor performances with earlier NL systems had led to a lull in research in this field. However, latter-day experiments and systems appear to be sufficiently more promising to warrant continued and further research in this area. This study proposes an experimental que...

Methods for generating context-aware recommendations were classified into the pre-filtering, post-filtering and contextual modeling approaches. This paper proposes a novel type of contextual modeling, that is called contextual neighbors, based on the idea of using context to compute the neighborhood in a collaborative filtering approach, and introduces four variants of this method. In addition,...

Models of errors during routine sequential action are typically interface-independent. We present here evidence that different task spatial layouts, however, result in different patterns of sequence errors. We explain this data by expanding upon the Memory for Goals framework’s activation-based, sequential process to include environmental (such as visual) contextual cues, as well as a richer pr...

Recently, a dual reinforcement process to contextual discounting was introduced. However, it lacked a clear interpretation. In this paper, we propose a new perspective on contextual discounting: it can be seen as successive corrections corresponding to simple contextual lies. Most interestingly, a similar interpretation is provided for the reinforcement process. Two new contextual correction me...

This paper studies the strategic aspects of contextual advertising. Such advertising entails the display of relevant ads based on the topic of the content a consumer views and takes advantage of the possibility that consumers’ content browsing preferences are indicative of their product preferences. The results show that contextual targeting impacts advertiser profit in two ways: first, adverti...
