To meet the challenge of processing rapidly growing graph and network data created by modern applications, a number of distributed graph processing systems have emerged, such as Pregel and GraphLab. All these systems divide input graphs into partitions, and employ a “think like a vertex” programming model to support iterative graph computation. This vertex-centric model is easy to program and h...

In this opinion piece, I present four somewhat controversial suggestions for the design of future treebanks: a) Treebanks should be based on adversarial samples, rather than pseudorepresentative samples. b) Treebanks should include multiple splits of the data, rather than just a single split, as in most treebanks today. c) They should include multiple annotations of each sentence, whenever poss...

In his paper in this Issue, ‘ “How do Mādhyamikas Think?” Revisited’, Tom Tillemans reflects on his paper “How do Mādhyamikas Think?” (2009), itself a reply to earlier work of ours (Deguchi, Garfield, and Priest 2008, Garfield and Priest 2003). There is much we agree with in these non-dogmatic and open-minded papers. Still, we have some disagreements. We begin with a response to Tillemans’ firs...

Five experiments using the think/no-think (TNT) procedure investigated the effect of the no-think and substitute instructions on cued recall. In Experiment 1, when unrelated A-B paired associates were studied and cued for recall with A items, recall rates were reliably enhanced in the think condition and reliably impaired below baseline in the no-think condition. In Experiments 2 and 5, final r...

For the last decade, Knowledge Management (KM) (Davenport & Prusak, 1998) has been positioned as a business strategy that advances knowledge as a critical resource and the capacity to integrate pieces of it across the organization as a distinguishing feature for success within the market (Grant, 1996). The strategy promotes the transfer of knowledge within organizations (Alavi & Leidner, 2001, ...

The purpose of this article is to contribute to theorizing the process dimension of informing systems. The conceptualization draws on a framework called the Informing View of Organization and, particularly, on its segment of informing process. The article discusses the concept of informing process and its background in the process view of organization and explores the relationship between infor...

Two studies explored the effects of forget instructions on autobiographical memory at immediate test and following delays of either 12-13 months, or 3-4 months. Using the Autobiographical Think/No-Think procedure (cf., Noreen & MacLeod, 2013), 24 never-depressed participants (Study 1) first generated 12 positive and 12 negative autobiographical memories and associated cues. Participants were th...
