Better Safe than Sorry
common to all species (although the evidence for this appears weak; Flather et al. 2011), then the SAFE index is merely a measure of N. The need for the logarithmic transformation in the SAFE index is unsupported. Clements et al. claim that the SAFE index improves communication of “distance” from extinction. However, the general public, donors, and policy makers will understand the implications...
متن کاملBetter safe than sorry: Risky function exploitation through safe optimization
Exploration-exploitation of functions, that is learning and optimizing a mapping between inputs and expected outputs, is ubiquitous to many real world situations. These situations sometimes require us to avoid certain outcomes at all cost, for example because they are poisonous, harmful, or otherwise dangerous. We test participants’ behavior in scenarios in which they have to find the optimum o...
متن کاملOntology Reuse: Better Safe than Sorry
The design, maintenance, reuse, and integration of ontologies are complex tasks. Like software engineers, ontology engineers need to be supported by tools and methodologies that help them to minimize the introduction of errors, i.e., to ensure that ontologies are consistent and do not have unexpected consequences. In order to develop this support, important notions from software engineering, su...
متن کاملNeuroticism and avoidance of ambiguous stimuli: Better safe than sorry?
Neuroticism predisposes to anxiety disorders, but the precise pathogenic mechanism is unknown. The aim of this study was to examine whether people with high neuroticism scores use a lower criterion for detecting danger in the face of ambiguous stimuli, and avoid a greater number of ambiguous stimuli than people with low neuroticism scores. Participants high and low in neuroticism were administe...
