The Spoken Language Research Laboratories (SLRL) at the University of Oregon houses 5 integrated laboratories that focus onspeech communication. The SLRL occupies nearly 4000 square feet and includes the following state-of-the-art facilities: 10 sound-attenuated subject running rooms; 3 sound-attenuated (clinical-type) observation rooms; 2 single-wall sound booths in another sound attenuated room; 2 waiting rooms; 1 large computer lab; 2 graduate student workrooms; and 8 offices. The SLRL is further equipped with all necessary high-quality audio and audio-visual recording equipment. Research at the SLRL ranges from work on language variation and change to first and second language acquisition to the perception and production of spoken language. The labs provide a dynamic, supportive environment for collaborative research and training in experimental design, acoustic and speech movement analysis, statistical analysis, grant writing, science communication and community outreach. The SLRL is embedded in a vibrant language research community at the University of Oregon (UO) that is anchored in the Linguistics Department, but spread over multiple departments, including East Asian Languages &amp; Literatures, Romance Languages &amp; Literatures, and Communication Disorders &amp; Sciences. The UO and the SLRL provide a myriad of research opportunities for students interested in spoken language behavior.
The Grandmaster and the Playmates

This chapter examines theory of mind and recalls that up to now, the human race is the only species able to predict others’ beliefs. This ability is correlated to the development of the dorsolateral part of the frontal cortex. In the thirties, British economist John Maynard Keynes found that across all financial markets, stock prices depended on the perception of market participants rather than their intrinsic value. He concluded that the best strategy for an investor is to guess what others think. To illustrate his reasoning, he chose as an example the beauty contests organized by British newspapers. Keynes proposed to standardize his approach by using a mathematical variant of the test. There is no single solution because the value depends on the level of reasoning of the majority of the group tested. Ultimately, this test confirmed that the activity of the medial prefrontal cortex was positively correlated with the level of reasoning of the subjects. This chapter then goes on to describe how the Japanese use <italic>shogi</italic>, the Japanese version of the game chess, to study the neurobiological basis of the strategic decision-making in grandmasters of the game.
Controlling Fake Reviews

This paper theoretically analyzes fake reviews on a platform market using models where a seller creates fake reviews through incentivized transactions, and its sales depend on its rating based on a review history. The platform can control the incentive for fake reviews by changing the parameters of the rating system, such as weights placed on old and new reviews and its filtering policy. At equilibrium, the number of fake reviews increases as quality increases but decreases as reputation improves. Since fake reviews have a positive relationship with a product’s underlying quality, rational consumers find a rating more informative when fake reviews exist, while credulous consumers suffer from a bias caused by boosted reputation. A stringent filtering policy can decrease the expected amount of fake reviews and the bias of credulous consumers, but at the same time, it can decrease the informativeness of a rating system for rational consumers. In terms of the weight placed on the review history, rational consumers benefit from higher weights on past reviews than from optimal weights without fake reviews.
A conceptual interface between electronic banking and knowledge of bank products and services for Nigerian banks and their customers

The change in the process of doing banking transactions in Nigeria for some years now has been attributed to the incorporation of electronic media and technology into Nigerian banking systems. The Nigerian banking sector has witnessed growth concerning modern banking systems, which is comparable to banks in the developed world. Therefore, this study employed a literature-based analysis by evaluating the relationship between electronic banking transactions and customers’ bank products and services knowledge. A framework of bank products and services knowledge towards improved customer electronic banking (e-banking) transactions was built based on the positive relationship that resulted from previous literature evaluated. This study has succeeded in conceptualizing bank products and services knowledge as a mechanism that enhances the smooth transaction of banking products by customers using the electronic platform. Consequently, the framework is recommended for policy-makers in the banking sectors to use in improving the level of bank customer electronic banking usage.Keywords: Electronic banking, banking products, banking services, Nigerian bank customers, transaction
Development of Multidirectional Vehicle on Water and Experiment of Autonomous Movement

We have developed Multidirectional INtuitive Aquatic MObility (MINAMO) that is a personal vehicle on water. In this paper, we developed MiniMO whose size is approximately a wash tub to perform autonomous self-position control. We experimentally show that MiniMO can autonomously move on water by means of Pozyx that is a positioning device using radio wave to locate.
Quantum linear system solver based on time-optimal adiabatic quantum computing and quantum approximate optimization algorithm

We demonstrate that with an optimally tuned scheduling function, adiabatic quantum computing (AQC) can readily solve a quantum linear system problem (QLSP) with $\mathcal{O}(\kappa~\text{poly}(\log(\kappa/\epsilon)))$ runtime, where $\kappa$ is the condition number, and $\epsilon$ is the target accuracy. This is near optimal with respect to both $\kappa$ and $\epsilon$. Our method is applicable to general non-Hermitian matrices, and the cost as well as the number of qubits can be reduced when restricted to Hermitian matrices, and further to Hermitian positive definite matrices. The success of the time-optimal AQC implies that the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) with an optimal control protocol can also achieve the same complexity in terms of the runtime. Numerical results indicate that QAOA can yield the lowest runtime compared to the time-optimal AQC, vanilla AQC, and the recently proposed randomization method.

Batch Verification and Proofs of Proximity with Polylog Overhead.

Suppose Alice wants to convince Bob of the correctness of k \(\mathsf {NP}\) statements. Alice could send k witnesses to Bob, but as k grows the communication becomes prohibitive. Is it possible to convince Bob using smaller communication (without making cryptographic assumptions or bounding the computational power of a malicious Alice)? This is the question of batch verification for \(\mathsf {NP}\) statements. Our main result is a new interactive proof protocol for verifying the correctness of k \(\mathsf {UP}\) statements (\(\mathsf {NP}\) statements with a unique witness) using communication that is poly-logarithmic in k (and a fixed polynomial in the length of a single witness).
A topology constrained geometric deformable model for medical image segmentation

The analysis and segmentation of Magnetic Resonance images are usually performed by experts. This process is tedious and time consuming. While many automatic and semi-automatic methods have been proposed in the literature, most of them are not reliable or accurate enough for medical image segmentation. Geometric Deformable Models have been widely used as a method of medical image segmentation using only geometric measures. They have proved their efficiency, ease of implementation and ability to handle automatic topology changes. Since, in medical images, the topology of the target to be segmented is known beforehand, different concepts of topology preserving have been implemented along with Geometric Deformable Models as a term to constrain their topology while evolving. In this paper, we propose a new approach for image segmentation, called the Selective Binary Level Set function and a new variant of the Topology Preserving Selective Binary Level Set model. The proposed approach successfully achieves either global or local segmentations. Different metrics were used to evaluate and compare our segmentation results of the heart ventricle to other methods. Results show the effectiveness of our proposed method, which proved accurate as a primary step for medical image analysis.
Private Sector Credit and Entrepreneurial Growth in Nigeria (1986 – 2018)

Purpose: The role of entrepreneurial activities in the economic development process cannot be underestimated. How entrepreneurial growth in Nigeria has been affected by commercial banks’ credit to the private sector was examined in this study. Methods: Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) was the estimation technique applied, while the Granger Causality was for effect assessment using annual data from 1986 to 2018. Result: The study found that entrepreneurial growth in Nigeria was significantly affected by private sector credit. Implications: There is a need for banks to cut down their fee on lending to entrepreneurs. Commercial banks charge as high as 22 percent to give loans to the private sector, and this is considered among the highest in the world. This makes it difficult for entrepreneurs to access fund from banks which make them resort to co-operative societies for finance. Equally, the Central Bank of Nigeria should lower the monetary policy rate to a single digit, let say 9 percent as against the current rate of 14 percent. This to a reasonable degree will make banks at least lower their fee/interest rate to lend to entrepreneurs.

Speech privacy, yesterday and where we are today

Speech privacy is one of the pillars contributing to Bill Cavanaugh's outstanding legacy. His early research in the 1950 and 1960s set a trajectory that continues to this day. This paper will discuss where we are today while honoring the roots of the topic and include an update from the TCAA Subcommittee on Speech Privacy in the Built Environment.
Reversal Fuzzy Switch Graphs

Fuzzy Switch Graphs (FSG) generalize the notion of Fuzzy Graphs by adding high-order arrows and aggregation functions which update the fuzzy values of arrows whenever a zero-order arrow is crossed. In this paper, we propose a more general structure called Reversal Fuzzy Switch Graph (RFSG), which promotes other actions in addition to updating the fuzzy values of the arrows, namely: activation and deactivation of the arrows. RFSGs are able to model dynamical aspects of some systems which generally appear in engineering, computer science and some other fields. The paper also provides a logic to verify properties of the modelled system and closes with an application.
New binary self-dual codes via a generalization of the four circulant construction

In this work, we generalize the four circulant construction for self-dual codes. By applying the constructions over the alphabets F_2, F_2+uF_2, F_4+uF_4, we were able to obtain extremal binary self-dual codes of lengths 40, 64 including new extremal binary self-dual codes of length 68. More precisely, 43 new extremal binary self-dual codes of length 68, with rare new parameters have been constructed.
Examination of Opinions of Pre-Service Teachers at Education Faculty Regarding Cybercrimes

This research includes the examination of the views of pre-service teachers on cybercrimes. For this purpose, it was aimed to determine the students' opinions about their preventive attitude towards these crimes. The study was carried out with 282 pre-service teachers at the Near East University Ataturk Education Faculty in Northern Cyprus in the 2018-2019 academic year. In the study, personal information form, validity and reliability provided by Gozler and Tasci (2015) and the Student Opinion Scale on Informatics Concepts and Crimes were used as data collection tools. According to the findings of the study, it was concluded that general views of pre-service teachers on informatics concepts and cybercrimes are at a moderate level and education on this subject should be increased.
Categorization of U.S. regional dialects and race from speech

Listeners extract a range of indexical information about speakers from the acoustic speech signal. Listeners show moderate to high accuracy with the two dimensions investigated here—race and regional dialect—with generally higher accuracy for race than regional dialect. In this project, both race and regional dialect identification from the same talkers were tested when the dimensions were varied orthogonally. In a forced-choice categorization task, listeners were presented with 144 unique audio clips of monolingual English talkers from Midland, New York City, and Southern dialect regions who were either Asian, Black, or white. Stimuli were presented to listeners in two separate, counter-balanced testing blocks (i.e., one for race and one for regional dialect). Results showed higher accuracy for race identification than regional dialect, with white Midland talkers most accurately identified by race and Southern Black talkers most accurately identified by dialect. Both tasks showed significant interactions between the two indexical dimensions. The results suggest that an irrelevant indexical dimension can impact perception of the relevant indexical dimension. Further, the composite of a listener's identity and their experiences with people of various ethnicities, racial and dialect groups can shape their perception and response biases.

Stock market development, human capital, and economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa

The study examines the relationship between stock market development, human capital development, and economic growth for nine Sub-Saharan Africa using a dynamic panel (system GMM) data model technique. The study employs stock market and banking sector development as measures of financial sector development. We also use the Human Capital Index based on the average years of schooling and an assumed rate of return to education. Our findings indicate that human capital leads to economic growth while stock market development does not influence economic growth, perhaps due to the relative underdevelopment of these markets or economic stagnation of the region.
Generation of Trajectory and Contact Force Based on Time-Series Database of Writing

There is a need for a robot to execute many tasks. As one of the solutions, conventional research reveals the way to save and reproduce the motion data including both position and force information. Robots therefore can execute a certain task by saving the motions demonstrated by a human using a robot, and expand the area of the task by saving many motions beforehand. However, the methodology of dealing with many saved motions, which is represented as time series of position and force, is still unclear. In this paper, we focus on writing motion and present the way to deal with many saved motions of writing those demonstrated by a human utilizing a generative model. The generative model consists of a neural network, which is known to have the ablity to approximate any non-linear function, and its parameters are learned using a variational autoencoder (VAE). We present the structure of the VAE for learning many saved time series of the writing motion and how we deal with these motions.
Analysis of infological models

Abstract The purpose of the work is to study the subject matter and application of infological models and substantiate the definition of the infological model concept. The article contains a short literature review of the use of such term as ‘infological model’. The concepts and viewpoints of the interpretation of this concept are analysed in the article. The article reveals the cognitive factor of the infological model. Many researchers have not considered this factor. The article proves that a cognitive map is the most striking representation of the infological model. The article proves that there is no need to associate the infological model with databases only and to identify it with the entity-relationship model. Based on the research carried out, a new definition of the infological model has been formulated.
