A new study examines how environmental cues influence consumer behavior, finding that primed goals can sustain for a duration or fade away. Consumers who rate themselves as unfit are more likely to select fitness-enhancing drinks after exposure to relevant words.
THESEUS aims to develop an internet-based knowledge infrastructure using semantic technologies that can identify content meaning and classify it. This will enable computers to understand context and draw logical conclusions about data.
The RSC/ChemSpider InChI Resolver will enable scientists to share and search compound data using the InChI standard, promoting standardization in chemistry. The service will also provide tools for creating standard InChI data and depositing it for future use.
Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a system that allows computer chips to work around all functional bugs, even those not yet detected. The 'semantic guardian' prevents a chip from operating in untested configurations, eliminating the risk of buggy hardware failure and protecting against potential security threats.
Researchers use Google Sets to provide contextual information that improves the accuracy of automated image labeling systems. The system uses a three-step process, including image segmentation, ranked lists of probable labels, and post-processing context checks.
Researchers at USC Information Sciences Institute have found a new source of artificial intelligence computing power in people's collective tagging activities on the social web. By extracting metadata from these interactions, they can improve information classification, reliability, and meaning.
Researchers found that adults exhibit a 'curse-of-knowledge bias' when reasoning about false beliefs, with their own knowledge influencing their ability to reason. Additionally, age affects false memory development, with children showing improved performance at older ages. The study also discovered a circadian rhythm in central process...
Researchers found that monkeys demonstrate a significant semantic congruity effect when making numerical comparisons, similar to humans. The study used colored cues to instruct monkeys to choose larger or smaller numbers, showing high accuracy and speed in the task.
This study examines how language gender systems impact brand attitudes and evaluations. In Spanish, consistent formal markers enhance brand recall, while semantic associations drive brand evaluation. In English, formal cues determine initial brand name gender, but congruent semantic associations improve brand evaluations and recall.
Researchers aim to create a 'web of meaning' by developing languages and tools that make it easier for computers to understand web pages. By distributing ontologies, search engines can achieve more accurate and relevant results, especially in areas with no standard rules of searching.
Studies show that the left hemisphere processes meaningful semantic content automatically, while the right hemisphere is involved in processing emotional prosody. Researchers used Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography to measure blood flow velocity in the brain's middle cerebral arteries when participants identified emotions conveyed th...
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute developed a theory to explain lexical selection and form encoding in spoken word production. The theory proposes two major processing components: lexical selection and form encoding, which can be completed within two-thirds of a second.
