2024-09-13 Metacognitive Moral Learning & Decision Making in Realistic Moral Dilemmas | Vanessa Cheung and Max Maier
No full textMany controversies arise from disagreements about which decision-making strategies to use in which situations (e.g., following rules or reliance on cost-benefit reasoning). In this talk, we propose a new theory of moral decision-making based on strategy selection that explains how these differences arise. Using a new paradigm with realistic moral dilemmas (across four experiments, total N=2328), we show how moral strategy selection learning (i.e., metacognitive learning) from the consequences of previous moral decisions can influence people's reliance on different decision-making strategies. Using computational modeling, we showed that many participants learned about decision strategies in general (metacognitive learning) rather than specific actions. Their learning transferred to incentive-compatible donation decisions and moral convictions beyond the experiment. Further, we use the new scenarios to compare large language model (LLM) and human moral decision-making, finding that human decisions are consistent with the strategy-selection account but not LLM decisions. LLMs show stronger omission bias and an additional type of “yes-no” bias not shared by humans. We conclude that strategy selection is an important mechanism of human moral decision-making and discuss the implications of this account.

A Review of silicon carbide development in MEMS applications
No full textDue to its desirable material properties, Silicon Carbide (SiC) hasbecome an alternative material to replace Si for MicroelectromechanicalSystems (MEMS) applications in harsh environments. To promote SiC MEMSdevelopment towards future cost-effective products, main technology areas inmaterial deposition and processes have attracted significant interest. Thedevelopments in these areas have contributed to the rapid emergence of SiCMEMS prototypes. In this paper, we give an overview of the importantdevelopments in SiC material formation and fabrication processes in recentyears. Some of the most interesting state-of-the-art SiC MEMS devices arereviewed. This highlights the major progresses in SiC MEMS developed thusfar. This paper also looks into the prospect of SiC MEMS drawing attention topotential issues

A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams
No full textWe create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
