This paper presents a motivational system for an autonomous robot which is designed to regulate humanrobot interaction. The mode of social interaction is that of a caretaker-infant dyad where a human acts as the caretaker for the robot. The robot’s motivational system is designed to generate an analogous interaction for a robot-human dyad as for an infantcaretaker dyad. An infant’s emotions and...

As compared to what each analysand and I co-create in a particular dyad, by construct I mean intended contributions to the analytic process that I personally bring to my analytic therapy with any of my analysands. These general facilitating provisions involve my construction of the setting, my understanding and intimacy with myself, and the theory I employ to understand my analysand, myself, an...

We propose a new method for dyad ranking, a problem that was recently introduced in the realm of preference learning. Our method, called PLNet, combines a statistical model for rank data, namely the Plackett-Luce model, with neural networks (feed-forward multi-layer perceptrons) in order to learn joint-feature representations for dyads, which are pairs of objects from two domains. The efficacy ...

Even flow: Photoinduced symmetry-breaking charge separation takes place in a few picoseconds in a 1,3-bis(perylene)propane dyad in polar solvents. Polarized transient absorption measurements show that the direction of the charge flow is random and entirely governed by the fluctuations of the solvent orientation around the dyad.

We report on a study with 65 middle-school students who learned about the concept of diffusion through observation. We manipulated two factors: the number of observers, solo vs. dyad, and the type of video students observed, tutorial dialogue vs. monologue. Our findings show that dyad observers learn significantly better than solo observers, and that for certain types of questions, observing di...

Over the past 2 decades, relationship marketing has become and increasingly important focus for research activity. However, practical knowledge of the nature and benefits of long-term relationships remains ambiguous with evidence of different findings from different sides of the dyad. This paper reports on the results of an exploratory study of hotels and their corporate clients, using data fro...

Dyadic prediction methods operate on pairs of objects (dyads), aiming to infer labels for out-of-sample dyads. We consider the full and almost full cold start problem in dyadic prediction, a setting that occurs when both objects in an out-of-sample dyad have not been observed during training, or if one of them has been observed, but very few times. A popular approach for addressing this problem...

It has been known for more than a century that interacting people can generally achieve more accurate decisions than single individuals. Here we show that interacting guppy fish (Poecilia reticulata) achieve a superior level of numerosity discrimination well beyond the average ability of the isolated individual fish. This enhancement of numerical acuity was observed in dyadic interactions when ...

In a previous study of a naproxen dyad in a pair of N-methylimidazoliummethyl menthylether-NTf(2) chiral ionic liquids (J. Phys. Chem. B 2008, 112, 7555), we observed that though intramolecular electron transfer was impeded, a consistent small stereodifferentiation in the fluorescence lifetime of the dyad was obtained. We proposed that this discrimination was purely electronic in nature and did...
