The works in Act/React create an impression of sociability through interactivity. In our encounters with other people, we take for granted the premise that social interaction involves autonomous beings who are aware of each other. Yet when the other is a machine, the autonomy and awareness exist primarily in the mind of the human: the sociability is subjective and the transparency or opaqueness...

A functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study was performed in which participants performed a complex series of mental calculations that spanned about 2 min. An Adaptive Control of Thought--Rational (ACT-R) model [Anderson, J. R. How can the human mind occur in the physical universe? New York: Oxford University Press, 2007] was developed that successfully fit the distribution of latencie...

Inspired by Mechanism Design, we study an online scheduling problem in maximizing throughput of equal length jobs with application in Auctions. We design monotone algorithms with improved competitive ratio for the problem in both models of restart and resume. Due to the monotonicity property, our algorithms deduce truthful mechanisms with the same competitive ratio in maximizing the total welfa...

The financial crisis of 2007–2008 revealed many inadequacies in the pre-crisis approach to financial stability regulation. In the United States, Congress responded by enacting the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The Act calls for government agencies to make numerous rules regulating activities that have the potential to harm financial stability, but there has been no ...

We present a successful design approach for social robotics based on a computational cognitive architecture and mental simulation. We discuss an approach to a Theory of Mind known as a “like-me” simulation in which the agent uses its own knowledge and capabilities as a model of another agent to predict that agent’s actions. We present three examples of a “like-me” mental simulation in a social ...

Career guidance for students, particularly in rural areas is a challenging issue in India. In the present era of digitalization, there is a need of an automated system that can analyze a student for his/her capabilities, suggest a career and provide related information. Keeping in mind the requirement, the present paper is an effort in this direction. In this paper, a fuzzy based conceptual fra...

As a science emerges from a common-sense understanding of certain kinds of phenomena it only gradually becomes clear what are the fundamental entities of the ‘world’ under study. Psychology grew out of our everyday reflections on the beliefs and practices relevant to people thinking, acting, feeling and perceiving. The scientific study of these phenomena should, we believe, be built on a common...

In this paper, we develop a theory of image-driven interpretations for the translation studies domain. Interpretations make core and are explained in terms mental images. An interpretation gives meaning to source-language word finds target language capture meaning, which is creative act cross-cultural transfer. ‘drawing’ images human mind by powers mind’s representational content. Our proposes ...
