The past twenty-five years have witnessed an increasing awareness of the importance of cognitive control in the regulation of complex behavior. It now sits alongside attention, memory, language and thinking as a distinct domain within cognitive psychology. At the same time it permeates each of these sibling domains. This paper reviews recent work on cognitive control in an attempt to provide a ...

The social triad—a group of three people—is one of the simplest and most fundamental social groups. Extensive network and social theories have been developed to understand its structure, such as triadic closure and social balance. Over the course of a triadic closure—the transition from two ties to three among three users, the strength dynamics of its social ties, however, are much less well un...

Pitch tracking and pitch marking (PM) are two important speech signal analysis techniques for several applications. The accuracy of both pitch marking and tracking is significant to generate smooth synthesized speech by controlling the pitch and duration of voiced speech in Text-to-Speech (TTS) system for example. In this paper, we present a novel hybrid approach, combining electro-glotto-graph...

We propose a communication-driven mechanism for predicting triadic closure in complex networks. It is mathematically formulated on the basis of communicability distance functions that account for the “goodness” of communication between nodes in the network. We study 25 real-world networks and show that the proposed method predicts correctly 20% of triadic closures in these networks, in contrast...

Reality, both material and conceptual, functions as a complex network of continuous adaptive morphological formation. The morphological form is a well-formed formula (wff), a Sign, an organized process of information. The Sign is formed within a triadic set of relations, which are encoded spatial and temporal measurements. Using a Cartesian quadrant, the six possible relational modes are examin...
