Loopy belief propagation for approximate inference: An empirical study. In:
- Proceedings of Uncertainty in AI,
, 1999
"... Abstract Recently, researchers have demonstrated that "loopy belief propagation" -the use of Pearl's polytree algorithm in a Bayesian network with loops -can perform well in the context of error-correcting codes. The most dramatic instance of this is the near Shannon-limit performanc ..."

the posterior is typically highly peaked and one might think that this feature is necessary for the good performance of loopy prop agation. Our results suggest that is not the case - in none of our simulations were the posteriors highly peaked around a single joint configuration. If the prob ability mass
Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,
, 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

Security-control methods for statistical databases: a comparative study
- ACM Computing Surveys
, 1989
"... This paper considers the problem of providing security to statistical databases against disclosure of confidential information. Security-control methods suggested in the literature are classified into four general approaches: conceptual, query restriction, data perturbation, and output perturbation. ..."

to exercise “statistical disclosure control. ” Some of these methods, however introduce bias into query responses or suffer from the O/l query-set-size problem (i.e., partial disclosure is possible in case of null query set or a query set of size 1). We recommend directing future research efforts toward
Practical Issues in Temporal Difference Learning
- Machine Learning
, 1992
"... This paper examines whether temporal difference methods for training connectionist networks, such as Suttons's TD(lambda) algorithm can be successfully applied to complex real-world problems. A number of important practical issues are identified and discussed from a general theoretical perspect ..."

perspective. These practical issues are then examined in the context of a case study in which TD(lambda) is applied to learning the game of backgammon from the outcome of self-play. This is apparently the first application of this algorithm to a complex nontrivial task. It is found that, with zero knowledge
A finite-volume, incompressible Navier–Stokes model for studies of the ocean on parallel computers.
- J. Geophys. Res.,
, 1997
"... Abstract. The numerical implementation of an ocean model based on the incompressible Navier Stokes equations which is designed for studies of the ocean circulation on horizontal scales less than the depth of the ocean right up to global scale is described. A "pressure correction" method i ..."

. The method makes possible a novel treatment of the boundary in which cells abutting the bottom or coast may take on irregular shapes and be "shaved" to fit the boundary. The algorithm can conveniently exploit massively parallel computers and suggests a domain decomposition which allocates vertical
Developments in the Measurement of Subjective Well-Being
- Psychological Science.
, 1993
"... F or good reasons, economists have had a long-standing preference for studying peoples' revealed preferences; that is, looking at individuals' actual choices and decisions rather than their stated intentions or subjective reports of likes and dislikes. Yet people often make choices that b ..."

The local power of some unit root tests for panel data
- Advances in Econometrics, Vol. 15: Nonstationary Panels, Panel Cointegration, and Dynamic Panels, JAI
, 2000
"... To test the hypothesis of a di erence stationary time series against a trend stationary alternative, Levin and Lin (1993) and Im, Pesaran and Shin (1997) suggest bias adjusted t-statistics. Such corrections are necessary to account for the nonzero mean of the t-statistic in the case of an OLS detren ..."

Short-Term Retention of Individual Verbal Items
- Journal of Experimental Psychology

"... It is apparent that the acquisition of verbal habits depends on the effects of a given occasion being carried over into later repetitions of the situation. Nevertheless, textbooks separate acquisition and retention into distinct categories. The limitation of discussions of retention to long-term cha ..."

Behavioral theories and the neurophysiology of reward,

Therefore, the investigation of neural mechanisms underlying reward functions requires behavioral theories that can ..."
