Reversed better-than-average effect in direct comparisons of nonsocial stimuli depends on the set size. [PDF]
Mem Cognit, 2014 Studies on direct comparative judgments typically show that, for items that are positively evaluated, a single item randomly drawn from a larger set of similar items tends to be judged as better than average (the BTA effect). However, Windschitl, Conybeare, and Krizan (2008) demonstrated that, under timing conditions that do not favor focusing ...

Why (and When) does Local SGD Generalize Better than SGD? [PDF]
International Conference on Learning Representations, 2023 Local SGD is a communication-efficient variant of SGD for large-scale training, where multiple GPUs perform SGD independently and average the model parameters periodically. It has been recently observed that Local SGD can not only achieve the design goal
