Number Preference, Precision and Implicit Confidence

چکیده
In elicitation tasks, people are asked to make estimates under conditions of uncertainty but elicitors then interpret these estimates as if the estimator were certain of them. An analysis of people’s patterns of responding during the elicitation of uncertainty, indicates that there are markers of confidence incorporated into these estimates that can be used to predict the person’s true level of confidence. One such marker is the precision (number of significant figures) of the estimate. Analyses of elicited data show the expected positive relationships between accuracy, precision and explicit confidence and, further, that precision offers information beyond that of explicit confidence ratings. We then demonstrate the importance of incorporating this information on an overconfidence task, showing that it can account for a 9% difference in calibration.

A Novel Trust Computation Method Based on User Ratings to Improve the Recommendation
Today, the trust has turned into one of the most beneficial solutions to improve recommender systems, especially in the collaborative filtering method. However, trust statements suffer from a number of shortcomings, including the trust statements sparsity, users' inability to express explicit trust for other users in most of the existing applications, etc. Thus to overcome these problems, this ...

Objectives: Cerebral hemispheres functioning have been found to be abnormal in children with ASD. The role of lateralization in implicit and explicit motor learning has received little attention in ASD researches. The main goal of this study is investigating the differences between two hands implicit and explicit motor learning in children with ASD and typical matched group. Methods: In the ...
متن کاملLearning User Preference Models under Uncertainty for Personalized Recommendation
Preference modeling has a crucial role in customer relationship management systems. Traditional approaches to preference modeling are based on decision and utility theory by explicitly querying users about the behavior of value function, or utility of every outcome with regard to each decision criterion. They are error-prone and labor intensive. To address these limitations, computer based impl...
متن کاملAdaptive Bayesian personalized ranking for heterogeneous implicit feedbacks
Implicit feedbacks have recently received much attention in recommendation communities due to their close relationship with real industry problem settings. However, most works only exploit users’ homogeneous implicit feedbacks such as users’ transaction records from ‘‘bought’’ activities, and ignore the other type of implicit feedbacks like examination records from ‘‘browsed’’ activities. The l...
متن کاملHigh-accuracy alternating segment explicit-implicit method for the fourth-order heat equation
Based on a group of new Saul’yev type asymmetric difference schemes constructed by author, a high-order, unconditionally stable and parallel alternating segment explicit-implicit method for the numerical solution of the fourth-order heat equation is derived in this paper. The truncation error is fourth-order in space, which is much more accurate than the known alternating segment explicit-impli...
