In the past, it was general practice for the programmer to ensure that the code running on a certain machine was hand-optimized for the underlying architecture (by software pipelining for instance, or manually utilizing the cache). Running the same code on another machine with di...

“true directions concerning the interpretation of nature,” in other words, an account of the correct method of acquiring natural knowledge. This is what Bacon believed to be his most important contribution and is the body of ideas with which his name is most closely associated. The fields of...
Acting as a goalkeeper in a video-game, a participant is asked to predict the successive choices of the penalty taker. The sequence of choices of the penalty taker is generated by a stochastic chain with memory of variable length. It has been conjectured that the probability distribution of...
"For example, for little kids usually we will use English songs but we are teaching them the Chinese lyrics. So it's easy for them to start because they know the music. They just need to translate into Chinese words. " She adds that not only does it work, but ...
Towards the end of the first year, once the child starts to utter her first words, the linguistic functions facilitating the child’s language acquisition become most relevant. Empirical evidence supporting these dynamics comes from a recent longitudinal study demonstrating that linguistic modifications ...
Allow your audience to listen, not read.The average adult can read approximately twice as fast as most people speak. So don’t jam slides full of words and then treat them as a script for your talk: your audience will have finished reading long before you can read each slide aloud, and...
What is a Scientific Argument? People love to argue. And that's especially true of scientists - every little detail has to be hashed out, and not one of them is shy about criticizing each other's work. But we're talking about something a little different with scientific arguments. It's...
You’ll find that heart vs. mind will be casually represented by the following contrasts, and clusters will form around these words heart (left side) vs. mind (right side). In a way, the heart vs. the mind is a substitute –a metaphor– for all the comparisons listed below. ...
since this metric compares only exact matches between words. When outputs of the general and MOF models are read by human experts, it becomes obvious that the models are often extracting true information with slight changes in phrasing or notation. There is also an effect on performance from inh...
