A Neuro-Psychological Model of Emotion

A standard approach in physiological and neurological psychology is to try to find “neural correlates” to various folk-psychological and scientific-psychological phenomena. For instance, we believe we have some understanding of “consciousness” or “working memory” or “components of emotion”. Then we look to see what “centers” and “circuits” and “neurotransmitters” underlie those processes. This traditional approach is to move from the psychological to the neurological. This approach has been quite successful

Adapting Leadership Styles in Changing Environments

The inability of some leaders to adapt their leadership styles in changing environments is the problem addressed in this study. Questions and findings about the challenges, reasons, and practices of leaders adapting leadership styles in dynamic settings are described to understand this phenomenon. After developing a comprehensive conceptual framework to guide the research, conducting an extensive literature review to contextualize existing research, and creating wide-ranging coded themes from interviews with 25 leaders in a construction management company that were triangulated with 25 survey responses by team members reporting to these leaders, the study identified six key themes relating to the barriers, communication, empowerment, drive, style, and performance standards of adaptive leadership. A flexible, single-case study design explored this issue thoroughly. Key results of the study included findings that many participants are driven to compete and win in the marketplace, the emergence of leading by example as a shared leadership practice by most participants, and structured accountability as a strategic practice for leaders adopting adaptive leadership. The study contributes to the practical and theoretical understanding of adaptive leadership in complex environments and relates and integrates its business functions, Christian worldview, and a faith-driven approach that enhances conventional leadership norms

The influence of family background together with peers increase the students’ learning motivation which follow the equation Y = 49,191 + 0,150 X1 + 0,180 X2

Adaptive algorithms for stochastic optimization and bandit learning

Optimization algorithms are fundamental building blocks of modern machine learning applications and recommender systems. Implementing these algorithms in practice, however, can be challenging. Indeed, optimization algorithms such as SGD often require extensive hyperparameter tuning to converge. Stochastic decision-making algorithms often rely on strong assumptions such as unbiased observations or even complete knowledge of the reward distributions. When these assumptions are violated, the performance of many standard algorithms can significantly degrade. In this thesis, we design and analyze algorithms with near-optimal performance when some of the standard assumptions in these areas are relaxed. In Part I, we give tuning-free convergence rates for adaptive stochastic gradient descent in (generalized) smooth stochastic non-convex optimization. Part II focuses on two variants Prophet Inequality problem, where we design constant-competitive policies in limited information settings, and in dynamic variant of the problem with time-varying feasibility constraints. Finally, in Part III, we study a bandit-inspired algorithm for domain adaptation, and consider a variant of the stochastic multi-armed bandit problem where the observed feedback is adaptively biased by the algorithm's previous decisions.Electrical and Computer Engineerin
