How voice shapes reactions to impartial decision-makers: An experiment on participation procedures

How to find decision makers in neural circuits?

Neural circuits often face the problem of classifying stimuli into discrete groups and making decisions based on such classifications. Neurons of these circuits can be distinguished according to their correlations with different features of stimulus or response, which allows defining sensory or motor neuronal types. In this study we define the third class of neurons, which is responsible for ma...

Hospital Reorganization: How to Help Decision Makers? a Decision Support Software for the Surgical Suite Reengineering

This paper proposes a global and complete decision support tool able to help decision makers in the reengineering of a surgical suite. Under increasing economic pressure and subject to rapid evolutions of technology and surgical protocols, hospitals have to consider radical organisational changes to ensure continuous efficiency. Recent findings in enterprise modelling highlight the importance o...

Toward an Information Theoretic Approach to Managing Multiple Decision Makers

Citizen science and human computation involves working with multiple, untrusted decision makers. We demonstrate how Bayesian Classifier Combination outperforms a naive Bayes method when classifying documents using unreliable crowdsourced labels. We also present methods for screening workers and selecting informative documents to label. Finally, we explain how the Bayesian Classifier Combination...

An Information Theoretic Approach to Managing Multiple Decision Makers

Citizen science and human computation involves working with multiple, untrusted decision makers, whose performance depends on training, rewards, ability and interest. We first present methods for screening workers and selecting informative objects to label. We then demonstrate Bayesian Classifier Combination as an effective method for classifying documents using unreliable crowdsourced labels. ...
