TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the literature on five experimental tasks documented 45 studies showing social information waste, and four studies showed social information being over-used as discussed by the authors, which means that human adults fail to give social information its optimal weight.
Abstract: Social information is immensely valuable. Yet we waste it. The information we get from observing other humans and from communicating with them is a cheap and reliable informational resource. It is considered the backbone of human cultural evolution. Theories and models focused on the evolution of social learning show the great adaptive benefits of evolving cognitive tools to process it. In spite of this, human adults in the experimental literature use social information quite inefficiently: they do not take it sufficiently into account. A comprehensive review of the literature on five experimental tasks documented 45 studies showing social information waste, and four studies showing social information being over-used. These studies cover 'egocentric discounting' phenomena as studied by social psychology, but also include experimental social learning studies. Social information waste means that human adults fail to give social information its optimal weight. Both proximal explanations and accounts derived from evolutionary theory leave crucial aspects of the phenomenon unaccounted for: egocentric discounting is a pervasive effect that no single unifying explanation fully captures. Cultural evolutionary theory's insistence on the power and benefits of social influence is to be balanced against this phenomenon. This article is part of the theme issue 'Foundations of cultural evolution'.

TL;DR: In this article, the boundary-value problem is studied and conditions under which the solution branches extend globally along the eigenvalue gap are provided. And they extend the well-known Landesman-Lazer conditions to study various bifurcation phenomena taking place near the two principal eigenvalues associated to the differential operator.

TL;DR: The authors trained a Siamese network with multi-task same/different information on a speech dataset, and found that it was possible to share a network for both tasks without a loss in performance.
Abstract: We trained a Siamese network with multi-task same/different information on a speech dataset, and found that it was possible to share a network for both tasks without a loss in performance. The first task was to discriminate between two same or different words, and the second was to discriminate between two same or different talkers.

TL;DR: All Coxeter lattices are bounded, a property characterized by the fact that they are obtainable by a finite series of interval doublings, starting with the one-element lattice.

TL;DR: The persistence of CD4 T-cell lymphopenia despite effective anti-retroviral treatment may be associated with anti-CD4 autoimmunity, and t-cell vaccination with autologous autoimmune CD8 T-cells may decrease such autoIMmunity and increase CD4T-cell numbers.
