Though there is substantial evidence that individuals can prioritize more valuable information in visual working memory (WM), little research has examined this the verbal domain. Four experiments were conducted to investigate and conditions under which effects emerge. In each experiment, participants listened digit sequences then attempted recall them correct order. At start of block, either to...

Background: Distribution of radiographic images in the outpatient setting on compact discs-recordable (CD-R) iscommonplace. Opening, manipulating and interpreting these can be challenging. This study evaluated the availabilityand ease of use of CD-R to evaluate digital images in an outpatient orthopedic setting.Methods: 118 CD-R containing diagnostic studies were evaluated by ...

Sample efficiency is an important topic in reinforcement learning. With limited data and experience, how can we converge to a good policy more quickly? In this paper, we propose a new experience replay method called Reward Backpropagation, which gives higher minibatch sampling priority to those (s, a, r, s′) with r 6= 0 and then propagate the priority backward to its previous transition once it...

This paper addresses the issue of solving conflicts occurring in the authorization decision process among policies applicable to an access request. We propose a strategy for conflict resolution based on the evaluation of the specificity level of the elements constituting the policies. Operatively, the strategy is implemented by exploiting a well known decision making technique. Two practical ex...

We propose an intuitive motion editing technique allowing the end-user to transform an original motion by applying position constraints on freely selected locations of the character body. The major innovation comes from the possibility to assign a priority level to each constraint. The resulting scale of user-defined priority levels allows to handle multiple asynchronously overlapping constrain...

Traditional accounts of belief change have been criticised for placing undue emphasis on the new belief provided as input. A recent proposal to address such issues is the framework of Ghose and Goebel for non-prioritised belief change based on default theories [8]. A novel feature of this approach is the introduction of disbeliefs alongside beliefs which allows for a view of belief contraction ...

In this paper, we present a new prioritized information fusion algorithm for handling information filtering problems based on interval-valued fuzzy numbers. Furthermore, we use the proposed fusion algorithm for handling multi-level information filtering problems. The proposed prioritized information fusion algorithm can deal with information filtering problems in a more flexible manner due to t...
