We present a data-driven model for predicting task completion in Project LISTEN’s Reading Tutor, which takes turns picking stories and listens to the child read aloud [1]. However, children do not always finish stories, and we would like to understand why, or at least detect when they are about to stop. So our EDM challenge is to learn a model to predict task completion – a widely used metric o...

This submission presents our understanding of the Grand Challenge and propose an agenda on how we will position our research to contribute to this world-wide collaborative research project.

Managing pricing is a challenging task due to the significant impact on shares and the likelihood of strong consumer and competitor reaction. The major contributions of this paper are to assess comprehensive share response to temporary, evolving and structural changes in prices and to determine the level of market share as a function of levels of prices.

In his insightful but unfinished work, Dharm Narain drew attention to the behavior of prices as one of the important factors determining the extent of poverty in rural India. His empirical investigations, summarized in Gunvant Detail contribution 10 this volume (chap 1), provide strong prima facie evidence of such influence. Dhram Narain found that rural poverty is not only inversely related to...

A method of data collection is presented that unites the efficiency of mass testing with the ease of instant electronic data collection that is typical of computer-based experiments run on individual participants. A wireless response system (WRS), originally designed as a teaching tool, is used to replicate three classic and robust effects from the memory literature (effects of false memory, le...
