An important issue in the understanding of eye movements in reading is what kind of non-foveal information can influence where we move our eyes. In Experiment 1, first fixation landing positions were nearer the beginning of misspelled words. Experiment 2 showed that the informativeness of word beginnings does not influence where words are first fixated. In both experiments, refixations were mor...

The aim of this chapter is to show how a structured approach elicit expert judgement (SEJ) can guide the practice early internationalization. We applied SEJ forecast some critical issues upon which an innovative start-up wished base their decision whether expand initial operations in Poland and Czech Republic Brazil. Sixteen participants Executive MBA program acted as experts underwent procedur...

Sri Lanka, Facebook covered vaster audience compared to other platforms. There challenge organizations designing ads successfully attract target motivate them purchase advertised products. Therefore, primary purpose of study analyze e...

Contrast analysis is a way to evaluate theories efficiently and relatively easily, but despite its efficiency, informativeness, and simplicity, contrast analysis is rarely found in the research literature. We present and illustrate step-by-step outlines of contrast procedures for 4 basic kinds of analyses, and we highlight the ways in which they provide focused information that complements more...

Market prices are thought to contain a lot of useful information. Hence, regulators (and other agents) are often urged to use market prices to guide decisions. An important issue to consider is the endogeneity of market prices and how they are affected by the prospect of government intervention. We show that if the government learns from the price when taking a corrective action, it might reduc...

The assumption of term-based summarisation method is that the importance of a sentence can be determined by the importance of the words it contains. One drawback of these methods is that they usually consider the words in isolation, ignoring relations such as anaphoric links between them. This paper investigates to what extent the integration of pronominal anaphora resolution into the summarisa...

Recent studies have suggested that recognition systems should concentrate their efforts on the identification of stressed syllables, as they contain disproportionately more information than do unstressed syllables. The paper investigates whether this increased informativeness may be outweighed by the informational disadvantage associated with transcribing consecutive segments within the same sy...

Clustering is by far the most popular diversification technique described in literature. Its aim is to group together images that are related following some similarity criterion. Here we aim to tackle the problem differently and explore a reranking-based techniques that increase diversity by considering the “informativeness” of each new image with respect to the set of images that were already ...

Speech data is in principle available in large amounts for the training of acoustic emotion recognisers. However, emotional labelling is usually not given and the distribution is heavily unbalanced, as most data is ‘rather neutral’ than truly ‘emotional’. In the ‘hay stack’ of speech data, Active Learning automatically identifies the ‘needles’, i.e., the more informative instances to reduce hum...

This paper investigates the effects of market size on the ability of price to aggregate traders’ private information. To account for heterogeneity in correlation of trader values, a Gaussian model of double auction is introduced that departs from the standard information structure based on a common (fundamental) shock. The paper shows that markets are informationally efficient only if correlati...
