The goal of local citation recommendation is to recommend a missing reference from the context and optionally also global context. To balance tradeoff between speed accuracy in large-scale paper database, viable approach first prefetch limited number relevant documents using efficient ranking methods then perform fine-grained reranking more sophisticated models. In that vein, BM25 has been foun...

Spatial patterns in (local) government taxation and spending decisions have received a lot of scholarly attention recently. Still, the focus on taxation or expenditure levels in previous studies is incomplete. In fact, (rational) individuals are likely to consider the level of spending on (or taxation for) public goods provision simultaneously with how much public goods they actually receive – ...

The concept of technological catch-up, as it refers to a situation where some less developed countries have been able to catch up to the world leaders in terms of innovation, has inspired an abundant amount of scholarly attention. However, studies comprehensively focusing on factors considered important for innovation in the literature on national innovation systems (NISs) are rare. This gap is...

Over the past several years, the performance of stateof-the-art face recognition systems has been significantly improved, due in a large part to the increasing amount of available face datasets and the proliferation of deep neural networks. This rapid increase in performance has left existing popular performance evaluation protocols, such as standard LFW, nearly saturated and has motivated the ...

The effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on global/local attentional switching and feature processing were assessed. Direct current stimulation was applied to the left posterior parietal cortex in 14 healthy participants. A compound letter task was used to probe the feature processing and the switching of attention between global and local features. Results indicate that cathodal ...
