Identity fusion and fitness interdependence

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2018
AbstractFitness interdependence is the degree to which two or more organisms influence each other's success in replicating their genes. Identity fusion may be a proximate mechanism that aligns behavior with fitness interdependence. Although identity fusion may usually lead to behaviors that are fitness enhancing, in evolutionarily novel environments ...

Improving Identity Discovery through Fusion

IT Professional, 2009
In a complex, interconnected world, being able to confirm the identity of a person or object is critical. Applications from border control to banking rely on the notion that a system can weed out deception while permitting legitimate access. This trade-off is at the heart of identity discovery.

The Dynamic Identity Fusion Index

Social Science Computer Review, 2015
We introduce a computer-based measure of “identity fusion,” a form of group alignment characterized by a visceral feeling of oneness with a group. Past measures of identity fusion (a single pictorial item and a 7-item verbal scale) have demonstrated a unique capacity to predict willingness to engage in extreme pro-group behaviors (e.g., fighting and ...

Identity fusion “in the wild”: Moving toward or away from a general theory of identity fusion?

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2018
AbstractWhitehouse's focus on two causes of identity fusion (evolution and shared experiences/biology) deepens understanding of these specific topics. While we applaud his analysis, in his efforts to elaborate these two causes, he has – perhaps unavoidably – produced a narrower conceptualization of identity fusion.

Multi-Biometrics Fusion for Identity Verification

18th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR'06), 2006
In this paper, we accomplish matching score level fusion of multi-biometrics. In order to solve the incomparability among different classifiers’ outputs, Adaptive Confidence Transform (ACT) is introduced to convert the raw outputs of different classifiers to the estimates of posteriori probabilities conforming to different users.

Identity fusion: The interplay of personal and social identities in extreme group behavior.

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2009
The authors propose that when people become fused with a group, their personal and social identities become functionally equivalent. Two hypotheses follow from this proposition. First, activating either personal or social identities of fused persons should increase their willingness to endorse extreme behaviors on behalf of the group.

Fusion of multiple features for identity estimation

IET Conference on Crime and Security, 2006
In a visual surveillance application where a network of cameras is used to observe many people, there are numerous situations where the consistent identification of a person is an important component in the system. There are many approaches to describing the appearance of a person.

Identity multiassignment in ESM to radar fusion

2006 9th International Conference on Information Fusion, 2006
The development of an algorithm for fusing an ESM track to multiple radar tracks is presented. This work is motivated by the difficulty of associating ESM sensor data with large measurement errors to closely-spaced radar tracks. The algorithm presents a novel approach to fusing identity information.

Multi-modal identity verification using expert fusion

Information Fusion, 2000
The contribution of this paper is to compare paradigms coming from the classes of parametric, and non-parametric techniques to solve the decision fusion problem encountered in the design of a multi-modal biometrical identity verification system. The multimodal identity verification system under consideration is built of d modalities in parallel, each ...

Duns Scotus on Identities — I Mean, Mereological Fusions

Theoria, 2021
AbstractI argue that Scotus's formal distinction is a mereological fusion relation rather than an identity relation. I construct mereological models which adequately represent Scotus's theory.
