Abstract Recently, it has become a popular strategy in multi-label image recognition to predict those labels that co-occur picture. Previous work concentrated on capturing label correlation but neglected correctly fuse picture features and embeddings, which substantial influence the model’s convergence efficiency restricts future accuracy improvement. In order better classify labeled training s...

The current study provides a comprehensive evaluation of critical psychometric properties of commonly used psychophysiology laboratory tasks/measures within the NIMH RDoC. Participants (N = 128) completed the no-shock, predictable shock, unpredictable shock (NPU) task, affective picture viewing task, and resting state task at two study visits separated by 1 week. We examined potentiation/modula...

Evaluating whether prospective air defense systems will effectively integrate the activities of humans and computers is a pressing issue for developers and purchasers of such systems. We need effective ways of modeling human-system integration while such systems are under development and while the possibilities for action are underspecified. We present a Cognitive Work Analysis-based analytic f...

BACKGROUND Nurses often complain about overwork and underpay. It seems that the association between "quality of working life" (QWL) and the degree of nurses' involvement in their carrier is the critical factor in achieving a higher level of quality of care. This study aimed to assess the quality of working life and its association with "job performance" of the nurses in educational hospitals af...

When a speaker says the name of a color, the color they picture is not necessarily the same as the listener imagines. Color is a grounded semantic task, but that grounding is not a single value as the most recent works on color-generation do. Rather proper understanding of color language requires the capacity to map a sequence of words is to a distribution in color space. To achieve this, we pr...

Keeping planning problems as small as possible is a must in order to cope with complex tasks and environments. Earlier, we have described a method for cascading Description Logic (dl) representation and reasoning on the one hand, and Hierarchical Task Network (htn) action planning on the other. The planning domain description as well as the fundamental htn planning concepts are represented in d...

Three experiments showed that the pattern of interference of single-modality Stroop tests also exists cross-modally. Distractors and targets were either pictures or auditory words. In a naming task (Experiment 1), word distractors from the same semantic category as picture targets interfered with picture naming more than did semantically unrelated distractors; the semantic category of picture d...

Adapting plans to changes in the environment by finding alternatives and taking advantage of opportunities is a common human behavior. The need for such behavior is often rooted in the uncertainty produced by our incomplete knowledge of the environment. While several existing planning approaches deal with such issues, artificial agents still lack the robustness that humans display in accomplish...

Designing appropriate materials and activities to enhance vocabulary learning is one of the primary goals of language courses. Among the claims about efficient pedagogical tasks is the Involvement Load Hypothesis (Laufer & Hulstijn, 2001) according to which vocabulary development is contingent on the amount of cognitive process a task involves. Building on the previous research on this hypothes...

Abstract In this two-part study, we conducted both cross-sectional and longitudinal investigations on the relative weights of experiential, cognitive, sociopsychological factors in adult L2 speech learning. phase (Study 1), was elicited from 73 Japanese speakers English via a picture description task, rated for accentedness comprehensibility. These scores were linked to range tests designed mea...
