Neural mechanism of proposer's decision-making in the ultimatum and dictator games

Previous studies have demonstrated that reactions to unfair offers in the ultimatum game are correlated with negative emotion. However, little is known about the difference in neural activity between a proposer＇s decision-making in the ultimatum game compared with the dictator game. The present functional magnetic resonance imaging study revealed that proposing fair offers in the dictator game elicited greater activation in the right supramarginal gyrus, right medial frontal gyrus and left anterior cingulate cortex compared with proposing fair offers in the ultimatum game in 23 Chinese undergraduate and graduate students from Beijing Normal University in China. However, greater activation was found in the right superior temporal gyrus and left cingulate gyrus for the reverse contrast. ＂The results indicate that proposing fair offers in the dictator game is more strongly associated with cognitive control and conflicting information processing compared with proposing fair offers in the ultimatum game.

The modulation recognition based on decision-making mechanism and neural network integrated classifier

A neural network integrated classifier(NNIC) designed with a new modulation recognition algorithm based on the decision-making tree is proposed in this paper.Firstly,instantaneous parameters are extracted in the time domain by the coordinated rotation digital computer(CORDIC) algorithm based on the extended convergence domain and feature parameters of frequency spectrum and power spectrum are extracted by the time-frequency analysis method.All pattern identification parameters are calculated under the I/Q orthogonal two-channel structure,and constructed into the feature vector set.Next,the classifier is designed according to the modulation pattern and recognition performance of the feature parameter set,the optimum threshold is selected for each feature parameter based on the decision-making mechanism in a single classifier,multi-source information fusion and modulation recognition are realized based on feature parameter judge process in the NNIC.Simulation results show NNIC is competent for all modulation recognitions,8 kinds of digital modulated signals are effectively identified,which shows the recognition rate and anti-interference capability at low SNR are improved greatly,the overall recognition rate can reach 100%when SNR is12dB.

Fuzzy synthetic evaluation on layoff mechanism for human resource

According to the modern theory of human resource management, the condition of buyout mainly depends on two variables of an employee: his interior value of product and exterior work reward. There exist shortages in evaluating the value of the employees in an enterprise. Consequently, a lot of employees might be laid off. Hence, this paper puts forward a two-stage method for decision-making to carry out a selective plan of buyout, based on the fuzzy synthetic evaluation involing many factors impacting on human resource. Moreover, a positive analysis is also given.

Use of Research Evidence in Policy and Decision-Making: Views, Attitudes and Practices of Health Policy Makers in Lusaka Province of Zambia

Background: The integration of relevant high-quality research evidence into the health decision and policy formulation process is a key strategy for improving health systems especially in developing countries such as Zambia. However, the lack of capacity to understand and value research evidence by policy and decision makers makes it difficult for them to find and use research evidence in a timely manner even when motivated to do so. This study aimed to establish the views, attitudes and practices of policy makers on the use of research evidence in policy and decision-making process in Zambia. Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Lusaka, Zambia among selected public health decision and policy making institutions. A purposive sample of 21 consenting policy makers who were working in different positions in the Ministry of Health Headquarters, Provincial and District Health Offices, Health Professions Regulatory Bodies, United Nations Agencies, International Non-Governmental Organizations and University Deans from the University of Zambia participated in the study. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. The IBM? SPSS? Statistics for Windows Version 20.0 was used for data analysis. Results: The concept of Evidence Informed Health Policy was not well understood such that only less than half (47.5%) of the participants reported having heard specifically about Evidence Informed Health Policy meanwhile almost two thirds (61.9%) reported that they used research evidence in decision making and policy formulation. Similar discrepancy was expressed in the understanding of and use of rapid response mechanisms such that although (47.6%) of the participants reported having heard about it, (57%) had never used rapid response mechanisms for deci-sion-making. With regard to the sources of information, about half (52.3) of the participants reported scholarly articles as their main source of evidence. Con-clusion and Recommendations: There is need for more sensitization and ca-pacity building among the decision and policy makers on the importance of using research evidence in decision and policy making process as incorporation of relevant high-quality research evidence into the health policy making pro-cess is a key strategy for improving health systems.

Research on self-adaptive decision-making mechanism for competition strategies in robot soccer

In the robot soccer competition platform, the cur- rent confrontation decision-making system suffers from dif- ficulties in optimization and adaptability. Therefore, we pro- pose a new self-adaptive decision-making （SADM） strategy. SADM compensates for the restrictions of robot physical movement control by updating the task assignment and role assignment module using situation assessment techniques. It designs a self-adaptive role assignment model that assists the soccer robot in adapting to competition situations similar to how humans adapt in real time. Moreover, it also builds an accurate motion model for the robot in order to improve the competition ability of individual robot soccer. Experimental results show that SADM can adapt quickly and positively to new competition situations and has excellent performance in actual competition.

Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Corporate Leadership

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming organizational dynamics, and revolutionizing corporate leadership practices. This research paper delves into the question of how AI influences corporate leadership, examining both its advantages and disadvantages. Positive impacts of AI are evident in communication, feedback systems, tracking mechanisms, and decision-making processes within organizations. AI-powered communication tools, as exemplified by Slack, facilitate seamless collaboration, transcending geographical barriers. Feedback systems, like Adobe’s Performance Management System, employ AI algorithms to provide personalized development opportunities, enhancing employee growth. AI-based tracking systems optimize resource allocation, as exemplified by studies like “AI-Based Tracking Systems: Enhancing Efficiency and Accountability.” Additionally, AI-powered decision support, demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic, showcases the capability to navigate complex challenges and maintain resilience. However, AI adoption poses challenges in human resources, potentially leading to job displacement and necessitating upskilling efforts. Managing AI errors becomes crucial, as illustrated by instances like Amazon’s biased recruiting tool. Data privacy concerns also arise, emphasizing the need for robust security measures. The proposed solution suggests leveraging Local Machine Learning Models (LLMs) to address data privacy issues. Approaches such as federated learning, on-device learning, differential privacy, and homomorphic encryption offer promising strategies. By exploring the evolving dynamics of AI and leadership, this research advocates for responsible AI adoption and proposes LLMs as a potential solution, fostering a balanced integration of AI benefits while mitigating associated risks in corporate settings.

Apply to the Micro Grid Data Limit Learning Algorithm

More and more microgrid projects are put into operation and completed, and the load data are becoming more and more multidimensional and massive. This requires effective classification of load data. Most of the traditional processing methods are based on neural network to classify the grid data. However, with the development of microgrid, the traditional neural network algorithm is having a hard time meeting the requirement of the classification and operation of massive microgrid data. In this paper, the back propagation neural network (BPNN) algorithm is parallelized based on the traditional reverse neural network algorithm. Multiple algorithms are applied for data learning, for example, the combined application of extreme learning algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm, artificial fish swarm algorithm and other evolutionary algorithms. The input variables in BPNN are optimized in the network training process. After adding the algorithm fitness evaluation function, the combined algorithm of improved back propagation neural network algorithm came out. It is most in line with the real-time data of power grid by means of root mean square error. This result could provide data support and theoretical basis for load management, microgrid optimization, energy storage management and electricity price modeling of microgrid.

A conjecture on mechanism of information understanding

All kinds of sensing organs in humans are able to reflect only the formal factors of objects,named formal information.It is believed,however,that not only the formal information but also the content information and value information of objects could play fundamental roles in the process of information understanding and decisionmaking in human thinking.Therefore,the questions of where and how the content information and the value information be produced from the formal information become critical in the theory of information understanding and decision-making.A conjectural theory that may reasonably answer the question is presented here in the paper.

USEVis:Visual analytics of attention-based neural embedding in information retrieval

Neural attention-based encoders,which effectively attend sentence tokens to their associated context without being restricted by long-term distance or dependency,have demonstrated outstanding performance in embedding sentences into meaningful representations(embeddings).The Universal Sentence Encoder(USE)is one of the most well-recognized deep neural network(DNN)based solutions,which is facilitated with an attention-driven transformer architecture and has been pre-trained on a large number of sentences from the Internet.Besides the fact that USE has been widely used in many downstream applications,including information retrieval(IR),interpreting its complicated internal working mechanism remains challenging.In this work,we present a visual analytics solution towards addressing this challenge.Specifically,focused on semantics and syntactics(concepts and relations)that are critical to domain clinical IR,we designed and developed a visual analytics system,i.e.,USEVis.The system investigates the power of USE in effectively extracting sentences’semantics and syntactics through exploring and interpreting how linguistic properties are captured by attentions.Furthermore,by thoroughly examining and comparing the inherent patterns of these attentions,we are able to exploit attentions to retrieve sentences/documents that have similar semantics or are closely related to a given clinical problem in IR.By collaborating with domain experts,we demonstrate use cases with inspiring findings to validate the contribution of our work and the effectiveness of our system.
