Trend Makers and Trend Spotters in a Mobile Application
"... Media marketers and researchers have shown great interest in what becomes a trend within social media sites. Their interests have focused on analyzing the items that become trends, and done so in the context of Youtube, Twitter, and Foursquare. Here we move away from these three platforms and consid ..."

and consider a new mobile social-networking application with which users share pictures of “cool ” things they find in the real-world. Besides, we shift focus from items to people. Specifically, we focus on those who generate trends (trend makers) and those who spread them (trend spotters). We analyze
Spotting trends: the wisdom of the few
- In Proc. of the Recsys ’12
, 2012
"... Social media sites have used recommender systems to suggest items users might like but are not already familiar with. These items are typically movies, books, pictures, or songs. Here we consider an alternative class of items- pictures posted by design-conscious individuals. We do so in the context ..."

of a mobile application in which users find “cool ” items in the real world, take pictures of them, and share those pictures online. In this context, temporal dynamics matter, and users would greatly profit from ways of identifying the latest design trends. We propose a new way of recommending trending
Applications: Trend and Prospects
"... There has been a rapidly growing trend towards the use of nanomaterials (NM) in healthcare and bioanalytical sciences during the last decade. It has led to a wide range of prospective applications of NM in biosensors, diagnostics, therapeutics, drug delivery, medicine, biomedical imaging, signal enh ..."

[MAKERS] HELLO, WORLD!
"... We live in interesting times. While people have been “making ” things for quite a while, the last few years has seen the emergence of a distinctive maker and DIY (“do-it-yourself ”) culture all around the world. One interesting facet of the maker culture is its pervasiveness. One does not need a PhD ..."

Instance-based learning in dynamic decision making
- Cognitive Science
, 2003
"... This paper presents a learning theory pertinent to dynamic decision making (DDM) called instancebased learning theory (IBLT). IBLT proposes five learning mechanisms in the context of a decision-making process: instance-based knowledge, recognition-based retrieval, adaptive strategies, necessity-base ..."

how the IBLT’s learning mechanisms closely approximate the relative trend magnitude and performance of human data. Although the cognitive model is bounded within the context of a dynamic task, the IBLT is a general theory of decision making applicable to other dynamic environments.
DSS applications in forest policy and management: Analysis of current trends
"... Abstract. Today, not only scientists and researchers, but public services and governments as well use DSS (Decision Support System) methods to solve forest policy and management problems in order to meet the multiple needs of the public and to achieve the greatest possible effectiveness. This paper ..."
Abstract

Augmented Reality: Information for Workplace Decision-Makers, Managers, Workers and Researchers
"... Until recently, Augmented Reality (AR) technology has rarely been discussed outside of the computer science world. It has taken years for this technology to become closer to a stable existence, and will most likely take several more years before it will be used by average citizens. However, the tech ..."

The purpose of this chapter is to inform decision-makers of AR’s history, the completed research and current applications of AR, possible impacts to managers
Learning under Ambiguity
- Review of Economic Studies
, 2002
"... This paper considers learning when the distinction between risk and ambiguity matters. It first describes thought experiments, dynamic variants of those provided by Ellsberg, that highlight a sense in which the Bayesian learning model is extreme-it models agents who are implausibly ambitious about w ..."
