Reduced Target Facilitation and Increased Distractor Suppression During Mind Wandering
EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY, 65(6), 345–352.
author keywords: mind wandering; target facilitation; distractor suppression; perceptual decoupling
MeSH headings : Adolescent; Adult; Attention / physiology; Female; Humans; Male; Perception / physiology; Young Adult
TL;DR:
Findings suggest that rather than perceptual decoupling globally suppressing all stimuli, it is more selective, falling in line with evidence on strong top-down modulation.

Multi-User Gesture Recognition Using WiFi
MOBISYS'18: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 16TH ACM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MOBILE SYSTEMS, APPLICATIONS, AND SERVICES, pp. 401–413.
author keywords: Gesture recognition; WiFi; Multi-user
TL;DR:
The key idea behind WiMU is that when it detects that some users have performed some gestures simultaneously, it first automatically determines the number of simultaneously performed gestures (Na) and then, using the training samples collected from a single user, generates virtual samples for various plausible combinations of Na gestures.

Is "Better Data" Better Than "Better Data Miners"? On the Benefits of Tuning SMOTE for Defect Prediction
PROCEEDINGS 2018 IEEE/ACM 40TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING (ICSE), pp. 1050–1061.
author keywords: Search based SE; defect prediction; classification; data analytics for software engineering; SMOTE; imbalanced data; preprocessing
TL;DR:
For software analytic tasks like defect prediction, data pre-processing can be more important than classifier choice, ranking studies are incomplete without such pre- Processing, and SMOTUNED is a promising candidate for pre- processing.
