Supervised Machine Learning Under Test-Time Resource Constraints: A Trade-off Between Accuracy and Cost
… computational resources must be budgeted and cost must be strictly accounted for during test-time. A typical problem is that if an application consumes x additional units of cost during test-time, but will improve accuracy by y percent, should the additional x resources be allocated? The core …

Evaluation of Timepoint Assessment Schemes for Offline Adaptive Radiotherapy of the Head and Neck Using Velocity
… the efficiency of both schemes was quantified as time-cost-effectiveness, where the cost was physicist time in hours. Regardless of the way benefit was quantified, the midpoint assessment performed more efficiently (i.e., with higher time-cost-effectiveness). This work shows that a clear picture …

The effect of alcoholism on visuo-spatial perspective taking
… and non-alcoholics showed a perspective reaction time cost when the perspective differed from their own. This can be taken as evidence for automatic VSPT. However, the relevance of the fearful facial expression did cause a reaction time cost for the non-alcoholics that was not demonstrated by the …
