Follow the signal: models of attention, reason, and belief
Attention, reasoning, and belief are central to how we perceive, decide, and collaborate. Though inherently abstract-with no direct physical manifestation these phenomena leave behind observable signals in subtle traces in gaze, language, timing, and interaction. These traces vary across …

Trend Analysis of Belief-State History with Discrete Wavelet Transform for Improved Intention Discovery
… proposes to introduce historical information of belief states into the POMDP model and to analyze its trend with discrete wavelet transformation (DWT). Accordingly, a new algorithm is developed to improve the accuracy of intention discovery with trend analysis, and to reduce the dialog length by …

Interactions with context
… carrying expressions in general behave in belief ascriptions, and suggest that substitutivity failure is a special case of this behavior. Chapter 2 develops a compositional probabilistic semantics for the language of subjective uncertainty, including epistemic adjectives scoped under …

Uncertainty-aware Joint Physical Tracking and Prediction
… as during occlusion—alters current and future beliefs about object motion, and introduces an uncertainty-aware framework to model this process. A behavioral experiment was conducted in which participants continuously predicted the future destination of a ball moving in 2.5D environments with …

THE DEFINITION AND FUNCTION OF DECEPTIVE COMMUNICATION IN A LABOR-MANAGEMENT NEGOTIATION SESSION (LYING, BELIEFS, GENUINE).
… primary set of independent variables were HEARER-BELIEFS of a speaker's intent, the propositional content of the utterance made and the speaker's sincerity, measured by a 7-point Likert-type scale. The secondary set of independent variables were ten (10) plausible characteristics of a negotiator …

Deception detection in dialogues
… learnable from labeled examples. I introduce a belief-over-belief formalization, based on Kripke semantics and situation calculus. I use an observation model to describe how utterances are produced from the nested beliefs and intentions. This allows me to easily make inferences about these …

Investigation of ride-share service decisions with uncertainty and perceived risks: Case study of young adults in Cape Town, South Africa
… Using the Quantum Probability Theory concepts of Belief State and incompatibility, this research aims to better understand the influences of Gender (female, male), Access to a Private Vehicle (access, no access) and COVID-19 (‘before', ‘during', ‘after') in ride-share service decisions that …

Action-first attitudes
… present an action-first theory of knowledge and belief. We have a mutual interest in the successful action of our peers, and the significance of belief and knowledge stems from their role in promoting this success. Knowledge states tend to guide successful action, in an appropriately systematic …

Numerical approaches for sequential Bayesian optimal experimental design
… Second, transport maps are used to represent belief states, which reflect the intermediate posteriors within the sequential design process. Transport maps offer a finite-dimensional representation of these generally non-Gaussian random variables, and also enable fast approximate Bayesian …

Reasoning and decisions in partially observable games
… set generation. Information sets are similar to belief states. Whereas a belief state encodes a probability distribution over possible current worlds, an information set represents the set of all possible game histories that are consistent with a player's observations. By simulating these …

Predicting first-year college achievement : evaluation of a self-regulatory coping model
… of prior achievement, anxiety-laden cognitive belief states, and self-regulated learning had on first-year college student achievement. Informed by the Lazarus and Folkman (1984) framework, a proposed academic-oriented stress-appraisal and coping model was tested for viability in predicting …

Examining the Experiences of Smallholder farmers in Malawi towards Farm Input Subsidies
… of Africa for its friendly people. Our African belief states that one's strength is made manifest by the number of children. Like arrows in the pouch of a hunter, so are one's children. They will be able to defend him when his strength is gone in his old age. That led families to have many …
