Perceptual Expectation
… out what sort of mental state a perceptual expectation like this is, from the angle of both its content (noun-phrase, singular-when-filled, perceptual) and its functional profile (uses content from memory, contributes content to occurrent perception, dispositionally future-oriented). I …

Expectation Numbers of Cyclic Groups
… choosing k random elements from a group the kth expectation number is the expected size of the subgroup generated by those specific elements. The main purpose of this thesis is to study the asymptotic properties for the first and second expectation numbers of large cyclic groups. The first …

Not So Great Expectations: An Analysis of Expectation Determinants and the Predictability of Expectation Errors
… Reserve Bank of New York’s Survey of Consumer Expectations (SCE) to analyze expectations of national inflation, national stock market returns, personal credit access, and personal financial wellbeing to test the rational expectations hypothesis (REH). For each of these variables, I examine the …

Counselor Expectation Effects on Disability Referrals
The problem. Client cases referred to vocational rehabilitation from Social Security Disability Determination Services are found eligible at a much lower rate than cases from other referral sources. This might be due to a negative attitude of vocational rehabilitation counselors toward referrals …

Planar detection using modified expectation maximization
… data problem motivates the employment of the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm. Derivation of the EM algorithm equations proves that a closed form solution to the maximization step is impractical which leads to the proposal of a Modified Expectation Maximization (MEM) algorithm. The MEM …

Perception, expectation and uncertainty in autism
This thesis uses behavioural measures and self-report questionnaires to understand how autistic individuals extract predictive information from their environment, how this predictive information influences perception in autism and how these processes are associated with other clinical features of …

An expectation model of referring expressions
This thesis introduces EMRE, an expectation-based model of referring expressions. EMRE is proposed as a model of non-syntactic dependencies - in particular, discourse-level semantic dependencies that bridge sentence gaps. These include but are not limited to anaphora (references to noun phrases in …

Extending expectation propagation for graphical models
… networks. This thesis proposes extensions of expectation propagation, a powerful generalization of loopy belief propagation, to develop efficient Bayesian inference and learning algorithms for graphical models. The first two chapters of the thesis present inference algorithms for generative …

A practical investigation of expectation in acousmatic music
The experience of expectation within acousmatic music is regarded as problematic because the electronic mediation of sound permits and even encourages composers to combine and integrate sounds of widely varying origins that may carry equally divergent aesthetic implications. Because of this, the …

Personal Health Record: Is It a Realistic Expectation?
A personal health record (PHR) provides an avenue for patients to track their personal health information, such as doctors' visits, medications, allergies, lab results, surgeries, etc. This allows patients to provide a complete and accurate health profile to their health care professionals, which …

Comprehending Mandarin Relative Clauses: Ambiguity, Locality and Expectation
The second goal of these experiments was to find out what kinds of cues help Mandarin speakers disambiguate sentences that are temporarily ambiguous. Previous studies have found that Mandarin speakers make rapid use of animacy cues (Lin & Garnsey, 2010), and the studies reported here show that they …

Effects of Temporal Expectation on Complex Decision Making
… the close relationship between rhythmic temporal expectations and complex decision making being self evident, no experiments explicitly attempt to understand this interdependence. If the theories that have emerged from both domains are to generalise to complex interactive behaviour, the effects of …

From expectation-3-maximization to bayesian expectation-3-maximization: A latent mixture modeling-based bayesian algorithm for the 4-parameter logistic model
… a latent mixture modeling view and developed the Expectation-Maximization-Maximization-Maximization (EMMM) method. Combining the EMMM with the Bayesian approach, allowed the Bayesian Expectation-Maximization-Maximization-Maximization (BEMMM) algorithm to be proposed. First, the author compared the …
