Mapping and Inference in Analogical Problem Solving – As Much as Needed or as Much as Possible?
There exist many computational models of analogy making, which are based on different assumptions about the cognitive processes which are responsible for successful transfer from a base to a target domain. In most models, mapping of the base structure to the target is seen as the core of analogy making. We believe that the way in which this mapping is realized is a crucial aspect by which the d...
متن کاملHow Much Should We Trust
Most papers that employ Differences-in-Differences estimation (DD) use many years of data and focus on serially correlated outcomes but ignore that the resulting standard errors are inconsistent. To illustrate the severity of this issue, we randomly generate placebo laws in state-level data on female wages from the Current Population Survey. For each law, we use OLS to compute the DD estimate o...
متن کاملProcuring organ donors as a health investment: how much should we be willing to spend?
BACKGROUND This paper examines the benefits and costs that accrue when a cadaveric organ donor is procured. We estimate the cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) for donor procurement. Our objective was not only to see whether organ procurement is a "good" health investment, but also to clarify how much it is worth spending to obtain additional donors. METHODS We calculated the average n...
متن کاملWhen Should We Treat Galaxies as Isolated?
Traditionally, secular evolution is defined as evolution of systems where the internal growth of structure and instabilities dominates the growth via external drivers (e.g. accretion and mergers). Most study has focused on “isolated” galaxies, where seed asymmetries may represent realistic cosmological substructure, but subsequent evolution ignores galaxy growth and interactions. Large-scale mo...
متن کاملTowards Behaviour Recognition with Unlabelled Sensor Data: As Much as Necessary, as Little as Possible
The problem of behaviour recognition based on data from sensors is essentially an inverse problem: given a set of sensor observations, identify the sequence of behaviours that gave rise to them. In a smart home, the behaviours are likely to be the standard human behaviours of living, and the observations will depend upon the sensors that the house is equipped with. There are two main approaches...
