Pilot Error: Some Laboratory Experiments

Cross-Corpus Classification of Realistic Emotions – Some Pilot Experiments

We use four speech databases with realistic, non-prompted emotions, and a large state-of-the-art acoustic feature vector, for cross-corpus classifications, in turn employing three databases for training and the fourth for testing. Categorical and continuous (dimensional) annotation is mapped onto a representation of valence with the three classes positive, neutral, and negative. This cross-corp...

Thermal-Blooming Laboratory Experiments

• We conducted a multiphase series of laboratory experiments to explore the adaptive optics compensation of a laser beam distorted by strong thermal blooming. Our experimental approach was to create on a small, low-power beam the same phase distortion that would be experienced by a large, high-power beam propagating through the atmosphere and to apply phase compensation via deformable mirrors. ...

Cultural Goods and Laboratory Experiments

In a two-stage public goods experiment, we study the framing effect due to the adoption of a cultural context. Our results show a slight increase in the allocations of subjects’ endowments to the cultural good when the cultural context is implemented in the laboratory. In particular, in one treatment, the framing effect has a strong impact in the last two periods only. JEL Classification: A13, ...
