Feature selection with effective distance

Neurocomputing, 2016
Abstract As more features are introduced in pattern recognition and machine learning applications, feature selection remains a critically important task to find the most compact representation of data, especially in unsupervised learning scenarios without enough class labels.

The effect of spatial distance on numerical distance processing

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology
The close relationship between numerical and spatial representation has been widely studied. However, little is known regarding the influence of spatial distance on the processing of numerical distance. The purpose of this study was to examine this relationship by employing a modified numerical Stroop task, in which the spatial distance was either ...

Effect of Distance on Heterochromatic Matching

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
The brightness of colors in a number of paintings by Francis Pratt appeared to vary as a function of the viewing distance. These pictures were composed of narrow strips of different colors varying in brightness and saturation. Five experiments were undertaken to replicate and study this effect under controlled conditions using heterochromatic ...

Casimir effect at macroscopic distances

Physical Review A, 1993
The possibility of observing the Casimir force at macroscopic distances (a few centimeters) using a confocal optical resonator is discussed and a possible experimental apparatus is also ...

Effects of Distance on Vocal Intensity

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1995
The vocal response of speakers to change of distance from a listener is in dispute. Warren (1968) found that speakers obeyed the inverse square law when compensating for distance changes; that is, they decreased their vocal intensity by 6 dB when distance was halved.

Effects of psychological distance on attraction effect

The Journal of Social Psychology, 2018
The present study demonstrated that psychological distance influences the attraction effect by changing the weights of the attributes of options. Construal level theory proposes that the weight of a superordinate attribute increases with psychological distance, whereas the weight of a subordinate attribute decreases with psychological distance.

Are Distance Effects Really a Puzzle

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009
In this paper, I use gravity equation with all the possible controls and a large bilateral panel data over 50 years and more than175 countries to estimate the distance effect from 1950 to 1999. An extensive search reveals some new results: different from previous finding that distance effects rose around the middle of the 20th century, distances ...

Boundary Distance Effects on Overshooting

Journal of Motor Behavior, 1976
Experiments with a subject-paced pursuit tracking task show that overshoot rate is dependent upon the distance between the target and the display boundary measured in the direction of movement, and that a previously noted inverse relationship with distance to the target is artifactual.

Interpreting the Effect of Distance on Migration

Journal of Political Economy, 1973
In this paper I discuss the economic (and other) determinants of the adverse effect of distance on migration, which is demonstrated by the negative distance elasticity of migration flows. These determinants are sorted and classified into two groups: (1) increasing (with distance) psychic cost and (2) diminishing (with distance) information.

Effective Mentoring at a Distance

2005
Abstract Given the exigencies of learning at a distance, to what extent can faculty and students develop mentoring relationships that support students’ academic progress? In a collaborative study, students, alumnae, and faculty at the School of Educational Leadership and Change at Fielding Graduate University interviewed their ...
