A single-system computational model of priming and recognition was applied to studies that have looked at the relationship between priming, recognition, and fluency in continuous identification paradigms. The model was applied to 3 findings that have been interpreted as evidence for a multiple-systems account: (a) priming can occur for items not recognized; (b) the pattern of identification rea...

Most of background subtraction methods represent background statistics using probabilistic unified frameworks such as the Gaussian mixture model or kernel density estimation. But these models cannot define the exact difference between two pixels. It causes misclassification such as false alarms and misses. We presented a new sensor noise model appropriate for general CCD cameras. Based on this,...

BACKGROUND Despite 30 years of research, some surprisingly fundamental gaps remain in our understanding of schizophrenic input dysfunctions. METHOD In a provisional test of a 'hyperattention' hypothesis, schizophrenic patients and control subjects performed a behavioural test that was adapted from a paradigm originally developed for characterising vigilance or sustained attention in animals. ...

Coreference resolution is the process of determining the entity that noun phrases refer to. A great deal of research has been done on this task in English, using approaches ranging from those based on linguistics to those based on machine learning. In Chinese, however, much less work has been done in this area. One reason for this is the lack of resources for Chinese natural language processing...

The recognition heuristic uses a recognition decision to make an inference about an unknown variable in the world. Theories of recognition memory typically use a signal detection framework to predict this binary recognition decision. In this article, I integrate the recognition heuristic with signal detection theory to formally investigate how judges use their recognition memory to make inferen...

This paper presents the results of field trials of a prototype lunar rover traveling over natural terrain under safeguarded teleoperation control. Both the rover and the safeguarding approach have been used in previous work. The original contributions of this paper are the development and integration of a laser sensing system, and extensive field testing of the overall system. The laser system,...

In this article, we introduce a measure of within-participant response consistency for use in the analysis of performance in decision-making tasks. The measure is an estimate of the correlation between the responses associated with two identical blocks of trials, the second of which has yet to be conducted. We derive a formula for the measure that can be applied to data from any two-choice deci...

Presentation of an aid’s reliability may have mixed results on utilization due to differences in the way the reliability is framed, as well as its effects on reliance versus compliance. Using an aided signal detection task, the current study compared effects of attribute framing (80% correct versus 20% incorrect) and goal framing (focusing on hits and correct rejections versus misses and false ...

The quality control, validation and verification of the European Flood Alert System (EFAS) is described. EFAS is designed as a flood early warning system at pan-European scale, to complement national systems and provide flood warnings more than 2 days before a flood. On average 20-30 alerts per year are sent out to the EFAS partner network which consists of 24 National hydrological authorities ...
