Adapting the Environment Instead of Oneself
This paper examines some of the methods animals and humans have of adapting their environment. Because there are limits on how many different tasks a creature can be designed to do well in, creatures with the capacity to redesign their environments have an adaptive advantage over those who can only passively adapt to existing environmental structures. To clarify environmental redesign I rely on...
متن کاملAdapting Text instead of the Model: An Open Domain Approach
Natural language systems trained on labeled data from one domain do not perform well on other domains. Most adaptation algorithms proposed in the literature train a new model for the new domain using unlabeled data. However, it is time consuming to retrain big models or pipeline systems. Moreover, the domain of a new target sentence may not be known, and one may not have significant amount of u...

Under the right circumstances, groups can be remarkably intelligent and statistical aggregates of individuals’ decisions can outperform individual’s and expert’s decisions.

متن کاملAdapting referring expressions to the task environment
When people refer to objects linguistically, they must choose properties of the object that make it possible for the listener to identify the intended referent. We show that this selection of properties not only depends on the task environment but also changes over the course of time. We find that the salient feature color is used less often over time because of its limited utility in our task,...

In this study, a novel mathematical model with consideration...
