“I'm a Good Guy Who Deserves Better, Yet Nobody Wants to Give me Better”: The Accounts of Nice Guys

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Within Western popular culture and online discourse, a “Nice Guy” is someone who enacts niceness for which they believe they are owed, deserving of, or entitled to something in return—especially the romantic or sexual attention of women. In this study, we examine the use of accounts in personal narratives told in an anonymous online discussion forum ...

A Pedagogy of Wonder: A Spoken Word Poetic Inquiry Into the Complexities of Trauma and Teaching in TESOL

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This forum piece begins with a spoken word poem titled A Pedagogy of Wonder, performed by the author, through which the intersections of trauma, language teaching, and creative inquiry are explored. While TESOL scholarship has predominantly focused on refugee‐background or international students as “traumatized populations,” and on trauma ...

Comparison Between Bayesian and Frequentist Tail Probability Estimates

, 2019
In this paper, we investigate the reasons that the Bayesian estimator of the tail probability is always higher than the frequentist estimator. Sufficient conditions for this phenomenon are established both by using Jensen's Inequality and by looking at ...

Boosted unsupervised feature selection for tumor gene expression profiles

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract In an unsupervised scenario, it is challenging but essential to eliminate noise and redundant features for tumour gene expression profiles. However, the current unsupervised feature selection methods treat all samples equally, which tend to learn discriminative features from simple samples.

Bellman–Steffensen type inequalities

Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2018
In this paper some Bellman–Steffensen type inequalities are generalized for positive measures. Using sublinearity of a class of convex functions and Jensen’s inequality, nonnormalized versions of Steffensen’s inequality are obtained.

HPoolGCL: Augmentation‐Free Cross‐Granularity Graph Contrastive Learning With Hierarchical Pooling

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Graph contrastive learning (GCL) has emerged as a dominant paradigm for self‐supervised representation learning for attributed graph data. However, existing GCL methods heavily rely on empirical graph data augmentation, which may distort intrinsic graph semantics and produce poor generalisation without carefully chosen or designed augmentation

Some complementary inequalities to Jensen’s operator inequality

Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2018
In this paper, we study some complementary inequalities to Jensen’s inequality for self-adjoint operators, unital positive linear mappings, and real valued twice differentiable functions.

Size variation of an herbivorous insect affects host plant damage: Mechanisms behind the effect

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Intraspecific trait variation can strengthen or weaken species interactions in ecological communities. A mechanistic understanding of how intraspecific variation affects species interactions will help identify general rules about when intraspecific variation strengthens

Improved Bounds for Integral Jensen’s Inequality Through Fifth-Order Differentiable Convex Functions and Applications

Axioms
The main objective of this research is to obtain interesting estimates for Jensen’s gap in the integral sense, along with their applications. The convexity of a fifth-order absolute function is used to established proposed estimates of Jensen’s gap.
