Abstract Theoretical accounts of the N400 are divided as to whether amplitude response a stimulus reflects extent which was predicted, is semantically similar its preceding context, or both. We use state-of-the-art machine learning tools investigate these three best supported by evidence. GPT-3, neural language model trained compute conditional probability any word based on words that precede i...

The proliferation of wireless local area network (WLAN) deployments in enterprises, public areas, and homes will cause frequent geographical coverage overlap among multiple networks. A recent growing interest is the coordination among WLAN providers for efficient resource management over a large coverage area. While radio resource management for a single WLAN has been studied extensively, littl...

Objects and events in the sensory environment are generally predictable, making most of the energy impinging upon sensory transducers redundant. Given this fact, efficient sensory systems should detect, extract, and exploit predictability in order to optimize sensitivity to less predictable inputs that are, by definition, more informative. Not only are perceptual systems sensitive to changes in...

This paper is an attempt to investigate the causal relationships among quantity of agricultural export and real exchange rate in India by using time series data for the period between 1980 and 2010. All the macroeconomic series used here are non-stationary, integrated at order one but not co-integrated. The long run relationships between exchange rates and agricultural export were explored by u...

We investigated how repeating metrical templates, i.e., stress priming, and the contextual predictability of stress affect behavior in a word naming task. We measured naming latencies and the phonetic duration of words produced under four different conditions (congruent stress, low predictability; congruent stress, high predictability; incongruent stress, low predictability; incongruent stress,...

This study explored the interaction between semantic predictability and regional dialect variation in an analysis of speech produced by college-aged female talkers from the Northern, Midland, and Southern dialects of American English. Previous research on the effects of semantic predictability has shown that vowels in high semantic predictability contexts are temporally and spectrally reduced c...

Understanding the predictability of a streamflow process is important for making decision for flood control and water management. However not much attention has been paid to the predictability study of streamflow processes so far. Predictability may be broken down into two categories: (1) model predictability and (2) potential predictability. The widely used model performance measure, coefficie...
