On Judgments of Approximately Equal

Texture luminance judgments are approximately veridical

This paper investigates intensity coding in human vision. Specifically, we address the following question: how do different luminances influence the perceived total luminance of a composite image? We investigate this question using a paradigm in which the observer attempts to judge, with feedback, which of two texture patches has higher total luminance. All patches are composed of nine luminanc...

Evaluating the Usability of System-Generated and User-Generated Passwords of Approximately Minimum Equal Security

System-generated or user-generated text-based passwords are commonly used by the users to authenticate access to their electronic assets. These passwords may vary in usability and memorability depending on the type of password generation, composition and length. However, little past research has compared usability and memorability of passwords, satisfying minimum entropy for a secure password. ...

APPROXIMATELY INNER sigma-DYNAMICS ON C* ALGEBRAS

Approximately Quasi Inner Generalized Dynamics on Modules

We investigate some properties of approximately quasi inner generalized dynamics and quasi approximately inner generalized derivations on modules. In particular, we prove that if A is a C*-algebra, is the generator of a generalized dynamics on an A-bimodule M satisfying and there exist two sequences of self adjoint elements in A such that for all in a core for , , then is approx...

Approximately Optimal Teaching of Approximately Optimal Learners

We propose a method of generating teaching policies for use in intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) for concept learning tasks [37], e.g., teaching students the meanings of words by showing images that exemplify their meanings à la Rosetta Stone [30] and Duo Lingo [13]. The approach is grounded in control theory and capitalizes on recent work by [28], [29] that frames the “teaching” problem as th...
