Researchers have discovered that'Lefties' show higher levels of'hypercompetitive orientation' and are driven by a very strong desire to win. This could help explain the evolution of left-handedness, experts say, which is prevalent in around 10 per cent of the population.

Active perception,collecting observations to reduce uncertainty about ahidden variable, isone of the fundamental capabilities of an intelligent agent [2]. In multi-agent active perceptiona team of autonomous agents cooperatively gathers observations to infer the value of a hidden variable.



Multiclass Graph-Based Large Margin Classifiers: Unified Approach for Support Vectors and Neural Networks

While large margin classifiers are originally an outcome of an optimization framework, support vectors (SVs) can be obtained from geometric approaches. This article presents advances in the use of Gabriel graphs (GGs) in binary and multiclass classification problems. For Chipclass, a hyperparameter-less and optimization-less GG-based binary classifier, we discuss how activation functions and support edge (SE)-centered neurons affect the classification, proposing smoother functions and structural SV (SSV)-centered neurons to achieve margins with low probabilities and smoother classification contours. We extend the neural network architecture, which can be trained with backpropagation with a softmax function and a cross-entropy loss, or by solving a system of linear equations. A new subgraph-/distance-based membership function for graph regularization is also proposed, along with a new GG recomputation algorithm that is less computationally expensive than the standard approach. Experimental results with the Friedman test show that our method was better than previous GG-based classifiers and statistically equivalent to tree-based models.


ImageTalk: Designing a Multimodal AAC Text Generation System Driven by Image Recognition and Natural Language Generation

People living with Motor Neuron Disease (plwMND) frequently encounter speech and motor impairments that necessitate a reliance on augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems. This paper tackles the main challenge that traditional symbol-based AAC systems offer a limited vocabulary, while text entry solutions tend to exhibit low communication rates. To help plwMND articulate their needs about the system efficiently and effectively, we iteratively design and develop a novel multimodal text generation system called ImageTalk through a tailored proxy-user-based and an end-user-based design phase. The system demonstrates pronounced keystroke savings of 95.6%, coupled with consistent performance and high user satisfaction. We distill three design guidelines for AI-assisted text generation systems design and outline four user requirement levels tailored for AAC purposes, guiding future research in this field.
