As Few Pediatricians as Possible and as Many Pediatricians as Necessary?

Child abuse as a stressor of pediatricians.

A survey of: 1) sources of perceived stress, 2) stress management, and 3) burnout among members of the American Academy of Pediatrics Sections on Child Abuse and Emergency Medicine indicates that child abuse physicians are stressed by the history, physical examination, and court appearances in abuse cases. Rarely did physicians indicate that this stress adversely affected their sexual life or f...

Reasoning about mental states in sequential games: As simple as possible, as complex as necessary

Because of limited cognitive resources, humans use heuristics in problem solving and decision-making. We argue that reasoning about mental states also comprises the use of heuristics. This has been tested in sequential games, in which one player’s outcomes depend on another player’s decisions. Empirical findings show that participants apply simple strategies, or heuristics, for as long as these...

Towards Behaviour Recognition with Unlabelled Sensor Data: As Much as Necessary, as Little as Possible

The problem of behaviour recognition based on data from sensors is essentially an inverse problem: given a set of sensor observations, identify the sequence of behaviours that gave rise to them. In a smart home, the behaviours are likely to be the standard human behaviours of living, and the observations will depend upon the sensors that the house is equipped with. There are two main approaches...
