Possessions and the Extended Self

by Russell W. Belk - Journal of Consumer Research , 1988

A Conceptual Framework and a Toolkit for Supporting the Rapid Prototyping of Context-Aware Applications

by Anind K. Dey, Gregory D. Abowd, Daniel Salber , 2001
"... Computing devices and applications are now used beyond the desktop, in diverse environments, and this trend toward ubiquitous computing is accelerating. One challenge that remains in this emerging research field is the ability to enhance the behavior of any application by informing it of the context ..."

Formalising trust as a computational concept

by Stephen Paul Marsh , 1994
"... Trust is a judgement of unquestionable utility — as humans we use it every day of our lives. However, trust has suffered from an imperfect understanding, a plethora of definitions, and informal use in the literature and in everyday life. It is common to say “I trust you, ” but what does that mean? T ..."

A Meta-Analytic Review of Experiments Examining the Effects of Extrinsic Rewards on Intrinsic Motivation

by Edward L. Deci, Richard Koestner, Richard M. Ryan
"... A meta-analysis of 128 studies examined the effects of extrinsic rewards on intrinsic motivation. As predicted, engagement-contingent, completion-contingent, and performance-contingent rewards signifi-cantly undermined free-choice intrinsic motivation (d =-0.40,-0.36, and-0.28, respectively), as did ..."

), as did all rewards, all tangible rewards, and all expected rewards. Engagement-contingent and completion-contingent rewards also significantly undermined self-reported interest (d =-0.15, and —0.17), as did all tangible rewards and all expected rewards. Positive feedback enhanced both free

The case for motivated reasoning

by Ziva Kunda - Psychological Bulletin , 1990
"... It is proposed that motivation may affect reasoning through reliance on a biased set of cognitive processes—that is, strategies for accessing, constructing, and evaluating beliefs. The motivation to be accurate enhances use of those beliefs and strategies that are considered most appropriate, wherea ..."

Modeling Strategic Relationships for Process Reengineering

by Eric Siu-kwong Yu , 1995
"... Existing models for describing a process (such as a business process or a software development process) tend to focus on the \what " or the \how " of the process. For example, a health insurance claim process would typically be described in terms of a number of steps for assessing and appr ..."

and approving a claim. In trying to improve orredesign a process, however, one also needs to have an understanding of the \why " { for example, why dophysicians submit treatment plans to insurance companies before giving treatment? and why do claims managers seek medical opinions when assessing treatment

Ontologies: Silver Bullet for Knowledge Management and Electronic Commerce

by Dieter Fensel , 2007
"... Currently computers are changing from single isolated devices to entry points into a world wide network of information exchange and business transactions called the World Wide Web (WWW). Therefore support in the exchange of data, information, and knowledge exchange is becoming the key issue in cur ..."

in current computer technology. Ontologies provide a shared and common understanding of a domain that can be communicated between people and application systems. Therefore, they may play a major role in supporting information exchange processes in various areas. This book discusses the role ontologies

Semantic similarity based on corpus statistics and lexical taxonomy

by Jay J. Jiang, David W. Conrath - Proc of 10th International Conference on Research in Computational Linguistics, ROCLING’97 , 1997
"... This paper presents a new approach for measuring semantic similarity/distance between words and concepts. It combines a lexical taxonomy structure with corpus statistical information so that the semantic distance between nodes in the semantic space constructed by the taxonomy can be better quantifie ..."
Abstract - Cited by 852 (0 self) - Add to MetaCart
quantified with the computational evidence derived from a distributional analysis of corpus data. Specifically, the proposed measure is a combined approach that inherits the edge-based approach of the edge counting scheme, which is then enhanced by the node-based approach of the information content

LabelMe: A Database and Web-Based Tool for Image Annotation

by B. C. Russell, A. Torralba, K. P. Murphy, W. T. Freeman , 2008
"... We seek to build a large collection of images with ground truth labels to be used for object detection and recognition research. Such data is useful for supervised learning and quantitative evaluation. To achieve this, we developed a web-based tool that allows easy image annotation and instant sha ..."

recognition and detection. Also, we show how to extend the dataset to automatically enhance object labels with WordNet, discover object parts, recover a depth ordering of objects in a scene, and increase the number of labels using minimal user supervision and images from the web.

Applications Of Circumscription To Formalizing Common Sense Knowledge

by John McCarthy - Artificial Intelligence , 1986
"... We present a new and more symmetric version of the circumscription method of nonmonotonic reasoning first described in (McCarthy 1980) and some applications to formalizing common sense knowledge. The applications in this paper are mostly based on minimizing the abnormality of different aspects o ..."
