The enduring importance of the “fine cuts” approach to psychology: EPS Mid-Career Award Lecture 2024 by Bird, G

“…In this article, I take a selective review of work undertaken by my colleagues and me in an attempt to show the enduring importance of the “fine cuts” approach to psychology. This approach highlights the importance of causal, specific, and falsifiable psychological models, and the rigorous experimental designs needed to test them. …”

Evaluating Adaptive Layer Freezing through Hyperparameter Optimization for Enhanced Fine-Tuning Performance of Language Models by Figueroa, Reinaldo

“…Conversely, overfitting is highly likely to occur when training on small datasets. This thesis proposes and evaluates a new method for fine-tuning language models by adaptively choosing specific learning rates for each transformer layer that provide higher performance on in-domain low-volume datasets. …”

Rediscovering Homo sapiens in international politics: evolution and rationality’s missing link by Johnson, D

“…An evolutionary perspective suggests: (1) rational choice is not always the most effective or efficient solution to decision-making problems; (2) cognitive biases are not mistakes, but adaptive “strategic instincts,” which evolved because they helped us make good decisions, not bad ones; (3) these “non-rational” dispositions follow a systematic pattern, allowing predictions about how people are likely to react under given conditions; (4) a theory for the origins of preferences; (5) an explanation for why humans can sometimes seem rational and sometimes non-rational (because adaptive behavior depends on context); and finally (6) error management theory suggests that cognitive biases evolved precisely because of uncertainty, as a way of minimizing costs over time. …”

An Effective Med-VQA Method Using a Transformer with Weights Fusion of Multiple Fine-Tuned Models by Al-Hadhrami, Suheer, Menai, Mohamed El Bachir, Al-Ahmadi, Saad, Alnafessah, Ahmad

“…The second model, the greedy-soup-based model, uses a greedy soup technique based on the fusion of multiple fine-tuned models to set the model parameters. The greedy soup selects the model parameters by fusing the model parameters that have significant performance on the validation accuracy in training. …”
