IS MATCHING INNATE?

Is matching innate?

Experimentally naive mice matched the proportions of their temporal investments (visit durations) in two feeding hoppers to the proportions of the food income (pellets per unit session time) derived from them in three experiments that varied the coupling between the behavioral investment and food income, from no coupling to strict coupling. Matching was observed from the outset; it did not impr...

Alternative Activation Is an Innate Response

Chapter 2. Matching Theory. 2.1. What Is Matching Theory?

An elementary example of matching theory is the following puzzle (popularized by R. Gomory). Given a standard 8× 8 chessboard, can it always be covered by dominoes (a piece consisting of two squares) if one arbitrary black square and one arbitrary white square are deleted? The solution is given in the exercises. Another puzzle which involves the idea of matchings is the following Putnam problem...

Fast Least Square Matching

Least square matching (LSM) is one of the most accurate image matching methods in photogrammetry and remote sensing. The main disadvantage of the LSM is its high computational complexity due to large size of observation equations. To address this problem, in this paper a novel method, called fast least square matching (FLSM) is being presented. The main idea of the proposed FLSM is decreasing t...

Adaptive Approximate Record Matching

Typographical data entry errors and incomplete documents, produce imperfect records in real world databases. These errors generate distinct records which belong to the same entity. The aim of Approximate Record Matching is to find multiple records which belong to an entity. In this paper, an algorithm for Approximate Record Matching is proposed that can be adapted automatically with input error...
