Increasing Accuracy by Decreasing Presentation Quality in Transcription Tasks
Many tasks with interfaces require entering data accurately, for example, entering patient data in an electronic records system or programming infusion pumps. However, human error is inevitable. Paradoxically, results from cognitive psychology suggest that representing information in a poorer quality format increases the likelihood of memorising the information accurately. This is explained by ...
متن کاملIncreasing VCG Revenue by Decreasing the Quality of Items
The VCG mechanism is the standard method to incentivize bidders in combinatorial auctions to bid truthfully. Under the VCG mechanism, the auctioneer can sometimes increase revenue by “burning” items. We study this phenomenon in a setting where items are described by a number of attributes. The value of an attribute corresponds to a quality level, and bidders’ valuations are non-decreasing in th...

Moreover, the frequency with which words of a given length ...
متن کاملIncreasing Fundraising Success by Decreasing Donor Choice∗

Such devices focus donations into discrete levels, thereby effectively limiting the donors’ freedom to give. We study the effects on overall donations of the tradeoff between rigid schemes that severely restrict the choices of con...
متن کاملWord-length distribution in modern Welsh prose texts
Although very little Celtic data has yet been examined within the Göttingen project on word-length distributions, one set of Q-Celtic data has already been processed – a set of 31 Scottish Gaelic e-mails, for which the best-fit distribution was the 1-displaced hyperpoisson distribution (Drechsler 2001). This study will add data from a P-Celtic language – Welsh – in order to obtain a preliminary...
