Comparing Interfaces for Image Sorting
Many tasks ask people to make categorization decisions about a large number of items based on images. There are many ways in which this task can be presented to the user, but there is little information available about how the decision technique affects performance. To investigate this topic three …

Comparing comparisons in category learning
Comparisons are central to category learning; yet very little research has been done to understand how comparisons affect what people learn. Prior work has established that different ways of learning affect what information learners acquire, suggesting that different types of comparisons may also …

Comparing Dependent Correlations for Ordinal Data
… t and William's modified t per Hendrickson, for comparing dependent correlations are presented. The results via simulation studies indicate that the choice as to which test statistics is relatively optimal, in terms of empirical level and statistical power, depends not only on sample size but …

Comparing Orgasm Descriptions between the Sexes
<p>This study examines the effects of sex and sexual context (masturbation or sexual intercourse) on characteristics present in descriptions of orgasms from 291 undergraduate participants aged 18 years or older, using the coding scheme presented in the Human Orgasm Model (Mah & Binik, 2001). …

Comparing models of work-family relations
This study examines the work-family environment to compare three theories of work-family relations. These three theories are spillover, compensation and segmentation. In the spillover theory, one environment (work or family) spills into the other environment (family or work), negative emotions will …

Comparing traditional sports and electronic sports
Electronic sports (eSports) viewership numbers have been growing over the years. Video games such as League of Legends, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, or Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft have a large following. During the League of Legends regular season matches, 250,000 people regularly tune in …

Comparing Quadratic Voting and Likert Surveys
Likert surveys have existed for many decades. In this thesis, we compared it with Quadratic Voting, or QV, a voting mechanism designed to facilitate collective decision making. We compared the two surveying methods under scenarios in which a decision-maker had to choose among K options. First, we …

Comparing Distributions: Invariance Principles & Mismatched Guesswork
We study two different ways of measuring the similarity between distributions over a finite alphabet. The first is an invariance principle which gives a quantitative bound on the expected difference between general functions of two finite sequences of random variables. This result is one way to …

Comparing organisms on the level of metabolism
… namely metabolic reactions. Moreover, instead of comparing individual reactions one at a time, metabolic pathways are compared, which are sets of reactions that are jointly involved in the same cellular process. As an application example, five Corynebacteria are compared against each other using …

Comparing Multiple Measure Placement Models in Mathematics
Accurate placement into an initial college mathematics course is a key step toward the successful completion of college mathematics and, eventually, a college degree. Conversely, misplacement in mathematics may lead to a reduced likelihood of course completion and degree attainment. This study …

Modelling and comparing OECD countries' consumer behaviour
This thesis seeks to model and compare OECD countries' consumer behaviour. We build REPIHIRELCH and ECM formulations using long time-series based solely upon private sector measures of income for twenty OECD countries. No previous study features such a broad coverage of private sector data and …

Comparing Coping Strategies in an Interactional Context
The study examined whether supportive or unsupportive behaviors of a partner and individual differences in coping style moderated the effectiveness of problem-focused and emotional approach interventions. At Time 1 each member of a dyad indicated use of various coping strategies in a self-report. …

ModelDiff: A Framework for Comparing Learning Algorithms
… ModelDiff through three case studies, comparing models trained with/without data augmentation, with/without pre-training, and with different SGD hyperparameters. Our code is available at https://github.com/MadryLab/modeldiff.

Comparing learned representations of deep neural networks
… classifier in this space. This work focuses on comparing these representations as well as the learned input features for different state-of-the-art convolutional neural network architectures. By focusing on the geometry of this representation, we find that different network architectures trained …

Comparing visual features for morphing based recognition
This thesis presents a method of object classification using the idea of deformable shape matching. Three types of visual features, geometric blur, C1 and SIFT, are used to generate feature descriptors. These feature descriptors are then used to find point correspondences between pairs of images. …
