Individual and joint body movement assessed by wearable sensing as a predictor of attraction in speed dates

Interpersonal attraction is known to motivate behavioral responses in the person experiencing this subjective phenomenon. Such responses may involve the imitation of behavior, as in mirroring or mimicry of postures or gestures, which have been found to be associated with the desire to be liked by an interlocutor. Speed dating provides a...

Learning Stochastic Graph Neural Networks With Constrained Variance

Stochastic graph neural networks (SGNNs) are information processing architectures that learn representations from data over random graphs. SGNNs are trained with respect to the expected performance, which comes with no guarantee about deviations of particular output realizations around the optimal expectation. To overcome this issue, we propose...

PFA and ω1-free compact spaces

The Proper Forcing Axiom implies that compact Hausdorff spaces are either first-countable or contain a converging ω1-sequence.

A parameterized extended shift-splitting preconditioner for nonsymmetric saddle point problems

In this article, a parameterized extended shift-splitting (PESS) method and its induced preconditioner are given for solving nonsingular and nonsymmetric saddle point problems with nonsymmetric positive definite (1,1) part. The convergence analysis of the (Formula presented.) iteration method is discussed. The distribution of eigenvalues of...

What do subjective workload scales really measure?: Operational and representational solutions to divergence of workload measures

We examine the continuing use of subjective workload responses to index an operator’s state, either by themselves or as part of a collective suite of measurements. Lack of convergence of subjective scales with physiological and performance-based measures calls into question whether there is any unitary workload construct that underpins...
