Norris et al. recently reported experimental evidence that listeners learn phoneme categories in response to lexical feedback. To reconcile these findings with their modular account of speech perception, the authors argue that top-down feedback can be used to support phoneme learning, but not to influence on-line phonemic processing. We suggest that these findings have broader implications than...

A very important property for any mechanism is incentive-compatibility. A mechanism is incentive-compatible if no agent has an incentive not to follow the protocol. In this paper we present a new meta-mechanism that can be applied to any existing mechanism to make it incentive compatible. This meta-mechanism is Chuck Norris. This shows that any mechanism can be made incentive-compatible, and th...

We consider semilinear parabolic stochastic PDEs driven by additive noise. The question addressed in this note is that of the regularity of transition probabilities. If the equation satisfies a Hörmander ‘bracket condition’, then any finite-dimensional projection of the solution has a smooth density with respect to Lebesgue measure. One key ingredient in the argument is a bound on ‘Wiener polyn...
