… enormous amounts of data for accurate predictions. In theory, the larger the sample size, the more accurate our predictions. In practice, we usually aim for a tradeoff between accuracy and computational time. Various ad-hoc heuristics to balance this tradeoff are available, e.g., tuning deep network architectures and optimization methods. The disadvantage is that they are tailored towards particular datasets or applications, and thus are limited in scope. Hypothesis and Objectives: This PhD project focuses on the accuracy-time tradeoff by exploring shuffling procedures. These shuffling procedures occur prior or during learning—randomly ordering of the training data or at every optimization step. Random ordering of observations can avoid local minima and prevent biases at the expense of statistical power. The loss of power is due to ignoring the innate structure of a dataset and possible relationships among features. Moreover, random shuffling contradicts with the way a human … Data Analysis, 23(5):1145-1166, 2019 • Multivariate Heteroscedasticity Models for Functional Brain Connectivity. C. Seiler and S. Holmes.

… predictors of alibi believability (see special issue on alibis in Behavioral Sciences and the Law; Sauerland, 2017). We also know that self-incriminating details (concerning a different crime) on or the inclusion of salacious details in an alibi can increase its believability under certain conditions, whereas sometimes such disclosures can have negative effects. Objectives: In this project we will: - investigate the effect of self-incriminating details on alibi believability and evaluators’ impressions of suspect guilt; - establish conditions under which salacious and self-incriminating details increase vs. decrease alibi believability; - study other factors that may moderate the effect, e.g., the timing of disclosure. Setting and Methods: Experimental laboratory studies; survey; field study/experiment Impact: Alibi research is still in its infancy. This project will contribute to the slowly growing data base in this field and help develop and test a theory of alibi evaluation. Our findings will inform legal decision-makers about possible biases in evaluating the credibility of alibis. Identifying …

… Canoeing on the Whanganui River in the wilderness of New Zealand is an unforgettable experience. The sheer amount of natural beauty and vast level of biodiversity is truly something to behold. However, this river is not only unique in its natural beauty but also because of its legal standing; it is one of the few natural phenomena in the world which have obtained legal personhood rights, ensuring it to flourish for generations to come (Hutchison, 2014). This phenomenon is referred to as Rights of Nature (RoN) (Eisma-Osorio et al., 2020). This principle asserts that natural entities should not be regarded as mere property under the law (Darpo, 2021). It recognises that natural entities and communities …
