Preschoolers Favor Their Ingroup When Resources Are Limited

Limited Computational Resources Favor Rationality

A choice function is a rule that chooses a single alternative from every set of alternatives drawn from a finite ground set. A rationalizable choice function satisfies the consistency condition; i.e., if an alternative is chosen from a set A, then the same alternative is also chosen from every subset of A that contains it. In this paper we study computational aspects of choice, through choice f...

Minimizing Uncertainty in Semantic Identification When Computing Resources Are Limited

In this paper we examine the problem of automatic semantic identification of entities in multimedia documents from a computing point of view. Specifically, we identify as main points to consider the storage of the required knowledge and the computational complexity of the handling of the knowledge as well as of the actual identification process. In order to tackle the above we utilize (i) a spa...

Antibiotic stewardship: the "real world" when resources are limited.

Preschoolers favor the creator's label when reasoning about an artifact's function.

The creator of an artifact, by virtue of having made the object, has privileged knowledge about its intended function. Do children recognize that the label an artifact's creator uses can convey this privileged information? 3- and 4-year-olds were presented with an object that looked like a member of one familiar artifact category, but which the speaker referred to with the label of a different ...

vSDC: a method to improve early recognition in virtual screening when limited experimental resources are available

BACKGROUND In drug design, one may be confronted to the problem of finding hits for targets for which no small inhibiting molecules are known and only low-throughput experiments are available (like ITC or NMR studies), two common difficulties encountered in a typical academic setting. Using a virtual screening strategy like docking can alleviate some of the problems and save a considerable amou...
