A research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed a novel model optimization algorithm—External Calibration-Assisted Screening (ECA)— that ...

According to the findings, the exemplar model is more consistent with decision-making behaviour. Researchers asked 20 respondents to sort various shapes into two categories.

Opinion: Lidiya Mishchenko and Pooya Shoghi explain how to bridge a gap preventing successful patent claims to protect new ...

In other domains, what’s described above as a model is itself called an algorithm. Though that’s confusing, under the broadest definition it is also accurate: models are rules (learned by the ...

Drawing inspiration from neurobiology, physics and animal behavior, the interdisciplinary team constructed a computational model of decision-making in the brain. The model took features of how the ...

Simple algorithms have been used for computer-based decision making for decades. Today, algorithms help ease otherwise-complicated processes all the time, whether we know it or not.

The Readiness Decision Impact Model, in development at the Defense Department’s readiness office, can take a question such as, “How will extending a squadron’s deployment now affect its ...
