Heuristics01:21

Heuristics

710
Heuristics are problem-solving strategies that use mental shortcuts to simplify decision-making. Unlike algorithms, which must be followed precisely to achieve a correct result, heuristics offer a general problem-solving framework. They save time and energy but can sometimes lead to less rational decisions.
People often rely on heuristics when faced with an overload of information, limited time, low importance of the decision, limited information, or when a heuristic readily comes to mind. For...

The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

6.1K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Estimation of the Physical Quantities01:05

Estimation of the Physical Quantities

6.7K
On many occasions, physicists, other scientists, and engineers need to make estimates of a particular quantity. These are sometimes referred to as guesstimates, order-of-magnitude approximations, back-of-the-envelope calculations, or Fermi calculations. The physicist Enrico Fermi was famous for his ability to estimate various kinds of data with surprising precision. Estimating does not mean guessing a number or a formula at random. Instead, estimation means using prior experience and sound...

Statically Indeterminate Problem Solving

927
Statically indeterminate problems are those where statics alone can not determine the internal forces or reactions. Consider a structure comprising two cylindrical rods made of steel and brass. These rods are joined at point B and restrained by rigid supports at points A and C. Now, the reactions at points A and C and the deflection at point B are to be determined. This rod structure is classified as statically indeterminate as the structure has more supports than are necessary for maintaining...

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

6.7K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Algorithms for Numerical Problem Solving

438
Mechanistic models play a crucial role in algorithms for numerical problem-solving, particularly in nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NMEM). These models aim to minimize specific objective functions by evaluating various parameter estimates, leading to the development of systematic algorithms. In some cases, linearization techniques approximate the model using linear equations.
In individual population analyses, different algorithms are employed, such as Cauchy's method, which uses a...

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Parallel Computing
  • Software Engineering

Background:

  • Thread-level parallelism (TLP) is crucial for multicore and many-core system performance.
  • Software-based speculative parallel models offer a low-cost, efficient, flexible, and scalable approach to parallel execution.
  • Model performance hinges on speculation accuracy, control overhead, and rollback overhead.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the conventional speculative parallel model and its overhead.
  • To optimize the conventional model using an analytical approach.
  • To propose a novel speculative parallel model, HEUSPEC, with improved performance characteristics.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an analytical model for the expectation of overall overhead in conventional speculative parallel models.
  • Proposed the HEUSPEC model incorporating heuristic value prediction, value-based correctness checking, and dynamic task granularity resizing.
  • Implemented the HEUSPEC runtime system in ANSI C.
