Our brains have evolved to represent and process sensory information from our environment and use it to guide behavior. The perception of sensory information and subsequent responses, such as boredom, however, vary across situations and individuals, impressively depicted by patients with attentional disorders who show extensive boredom across many situations. Despite these implications, it remains unclear how environmental features and individual traits act together to allow effective transmission of sensory information, and how both factors relate to boredom experience. We present a framework to address this issue, exposing human participants to text stimuli with defined objective information content, while assessing perceived information, boredom and text sentiment. Using information theory to formalize external and internal factors of information transmission, we find that lower information transmission predicts higher boredom. Moreover, individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder show lower information transmission, compared to a control sample. Together, delineating the interaction of sensory information content with individual traits, boredom emerges as a situational consequence of reduced information-decoding, heightened in ADHD.

Multi-hop Question Answering has recently received particular attention in research and practice, especially in the context of conversational systems and answering complex questions. Various architectures have been proposed to answer these complex multi-hop questions. However, in real-world scenarios, a conversational system should answer both simple (single-hop) and complex (multi-hop) questions. In this work, we propose an efficient BERT question classifier that supports retrievers in the question-answering systems to process single- and multi-hop questions. We also released a mixed dataset consisting of both single- and multi-hop questions. We show that utilizing our classifier inside the QA system can improve these systems' accuracy and enable them to answer both kinds of questions considering their complexity.

Carry-save-adder(CSA) is one of the most widely used schemes for fast arithmetic in industry. This paper provides a solution to the problem of finding an optimal-timing allocation of CSAs. Specifically, we present a polynomial time algorithm which finds an optimal-timing CSA allocation for a given arithmetic expression. In addition, we extend our result for CSA allocation to the problem of optimizing arithmetic expressions across the boundary of design hierarchy by introducing a new concept, called auxiliary ports. Our algorithm can be used to carry out the CSA allocation step optimally and automatically, and this can be done within the context of a standard HDL synthesis environment.

When evolutionary algorithms are used for solving numerical constrained optimization problems, how to deal with the relationship between feasible and infeasible individuals can directly influence the final results. This paper proposes a novel ecology-inspired EA to balance the relationship between feasible and infeasible individuals. According to the feasibility of the individuals, the population is divided into two groups, feasible group and infeasible group. The evaluation and ranking of these two groups are performed separately. The number of parents from feasible group has a sigmoid relation with the number of feasible individuals, which is inspired by the ecological population growth in a confined space. The proposed method is tested using (/spl mu/, /spl lambda/) evolution strategies with 13 benchmark problems. Experimental results show that the proposed method is capable of improving performance of the dynamic penalty method for constrained optimization problems.
