Crowdsourcing systems like Amazon's Mechanical Turk (AMT) allow data to be collected from a large sample of people in a short amount of time. This use has garnered considerable interest from behavioral scientists. So far, most experiments conducted on AMT have focused on survey-type instruments because of difficulties inherent in running many experimental paradigms over the Internet. This study...

While recent years have witnessed large progress in the algorithm of automatic music transcription (AMT), the development of general and sizable datasets for AMT evaluation is relatively stagnant, predominantly due to the fact that manually annotating and checking such datasets is labor-intensive and time-consuming. In this paper we propose a novel note-level annotation method for building AMT ...

Purpose: To evaluate the use of amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) for management of congenital distichiasis. Methods: In this interventional case series, 16 eyelids of 5 patients with congenital distichiasis underwent posterior lamella resection and AMT. Results: All patients were male subjects with mean age of 13.6±15.2 (range 2-42) years. Mean follow up was 17±7.5 (range 6-29) months. D...

Amazon's Mechanical Turk (AMT) service is becoming increasingly popular in Natural Language Processing (NLP) research. In this poster, we report our findings in using AMT to annotate biomedical text extracted from clinical trial descriptions with three entity types: medical condition, medication, and laboratory test. We also describe our observations on AMT workers' annotations.

Adaptive Model Theory (AMT) is a computational theory and model of the information processing performed by the brain during voluntary movement. AMT proposes that the brain forms and adaptively maintains inverse dynamic models of the body and of the external environment. Previous AMT implementations have been restricted by their reliance upon linear inverse control techniques in the inverse mode...

The mixed micellization behaviour of amitriptyline hydrochloride (AMT) with ionic liquid (IL) 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium hydrochloride, [C8mim][Cl], have been investigated using electrical conductivity, at different temperatures. The non-ideal behaviour (i.e., synergistic interaction) of AMT-[C8mim][Cl] binary mixtures, explained by the deviations in critical micelle concentration (cmc) from i...

Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT), a system for crowdsourcing work, has been used in many academic fields to support research and could be similarly useful for information systems research. This paper briefly describes the functioning of the AMT system and presents a simple typology of research data collected using AMT. For each kind of data, it discusses potential threats to reliability and validit...

OBJECTIVE The appropriate activation and effective utilization of air-medical transport (AMT) services is an important skill for emergency medicine physicians in the United States. Previous studies have demonstrated variability with regards to emergency medical services (EMS) experience during residency training. This study was designed to evaluate the nature and extent of AMT training of the e...

Several reports have indicated that cortical resection is effective in alleviating intractable epilepsy in children with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Because of the multitude of cortical lesions, however, identifying the epileptogenic tuber(s) is difficult and often requires invasive intracranial electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring. As increased concentrations of serotonin and seroton...
