In automatic speech recognition complex state spaces are searched during the recognition process. By limiting these search spaces the computation time can be reduced, but unfortunately the recognition rate mostly decreases, too. However, especially for time-critical recognition tasks a search-space pruning is necessary. Therefore, we developed a dynamic mechanism to optimize the pruning paramet...

We propose that the rate of creation and failure of new firm start-ups can be modelled as a search and matching process, as in labor market matching models. Deriving an "entrepreneurial" Beveridge curve, we show that a successful start-up depends on the efficiency with which entrepreneurial ability is matched with business opportunity, and outline a number of possible applications of this match...

Drawing upon broaden-and-build and affect-as-information theories, we explore courage, hope, fear failure, anticipated regre...
