Abstract:

By investigating the cognitive capacities of non-human primates, we can begin to understand the cognitive capacities of the evolutionary ancestors we share with these species. While there is a great deal of research exploring the socio-cognitive abilities of simian primates, prosimians have not been sufficiently studied. Without data from these species, our knowledge about the evolution of the primate mind is limited to the common ancestor shared between simian primates only, precluding understanding of the phylogenetic origins of certain phenomena. I explored the socio-cognitive capacities of

Abstract:

Searching and gathering information about specific topics is a time wasting, but vital practise. With the continuous growth and surpassing of desktop devices, the mobile market is becoming a more important area to consider. Due to the portability of mobile devices, certain tasks are more difficult to perform, compared to on a desktop device. Searching for information online is generally slower on mobile devices than on desktop devices, even though the majority of searches are performed on mobile devices. The largest challenges with searching for information online using mobile devices, are the

The Internet is changing the way people obtain their information, growing at a faster rate than any previous media outlet. Experts fully expect this growth to continue. The power of the Internet as a new media source has led to research concerning its effect on traditional media (newspaper, television, radio, and magazines) for certain tasks. However, research has yet to focus solely on sports information gathering, which has been identified as the number one reason men between eighteen and thirty-four years of age access the Internet.

Abstract:

Unmanned sensors are rapidly becoming the de facto means of achieving situational awareness---the ability to make sense of, and predict what is happening in an environment---in disaster management, military reconnaissance, space exploration, and climate research. In these domains, and many others besides, their use reduces the need for exposing humans to hostile, impassable or polluted environments. Whilst these sensors are currently often pre-programmed or remotely controlled by human operators, there is a clear trend toward making these sensors fully autonomous, thus enabling them to make de

Signals are used to communicate resource-holding potential (RHP) to rivals during contests across a wide range of taxa. A controversial subset of RHP signals are status signals.

However, observations of P. dominulus in its native European range indicate that the use of status signals across populations might be limited in this species.

Abstract:

A key feature of rationality is the use of an optimal (or normative) strategy, i.e. the strategy that is most likely to maximize the fulfillment of one's goals. Numerous such strategies have been explored in the literature across a wide range of problems, and many researchers have argued that humans approach several problems irrationally. Recently, researchers have begun to study individual differences in rational responding to these tasks, crucially discovering that both fluid intelligence and individual thinking styles - such as the Need for Cognition (NFC) - contribute uniquely to rational

The principal can choose an audit policy after output is produced - but he cannot commit to an audit policy at the beginning. The probability of audit is a best reply to the agent's probability of misreporting given the contract. The interaction between the

Abstract:

Acting under uncertainty is a fundamental challenge for any decision maker in the real world. As uncertainty is often the culprit of failure, many prior works attempt to reduce the problem to one with a known state. However, this fails to account for a key property of acting under uncertainty: we can often gain utility while uncertain. This thesis presents methods that utilize this property in two domains: active information gathering and shared autonomy. For active information gathering, we present a general framework for reducing uncertainty just enough to make a decision. To do so, we formu

Threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) assimilated and used private information about prey distribution between different social information cues, and when these conflicted with their private information, they based their foraging decisions upon the former, suggesting that there are costs associated with non-conformist foraging behaviour.
