TL;DR: Binary variants of the recent Grasshopper Optimisation Algorithm are proposed in this work and employed to select the optimal feature subset for classification purposes within a wrapper-based framework and the comparative results show the superior performance of the BGOA and B GOA-M methods compared to other similar techniques in the literature.
Abstract: Feature Selection (FS) is a challenging machine learning-related task that aims at reducing the number of features by removing irrelevant, redundant and noisy data while maintaining an acceptable level of classification accuracy. FS can be considered as an optimisation problem. Due to the difficulty of this problem and having a large number of local solutions, stochastic optimisation algorithms are promising techniques to solve this problem. As a seminal attempt, binary variants of the recent Grasshopper Optimisation Algorithm (GOA) are proposed in this work and employed to select the optimal feature subset for classification purposes within a wrapper-based framework. Two mechanisms are employed to design a binary GOA, the first one is based on Sigmoid and V-shaped transfer functions, and will be indicated by BGOA-S and BGOA-V, respectively. While the second mechanism uses a novel technique that combines the best solution obtained so far. In addition, a mutation operator is employed to enhance the exploration phase in BGOA algorithm (BGOA-M). The proposed methods are evaluated using 25 standard UCI datasets and compared with 8 well-regarded metaheuristic wrapper-based approaches, and six well known filter-based (e.g., correlation FS) approaches. The comparative results show the superior performance of the BGOA and BGOA-M methods compared to other similar techniques in the literature.

TL;DR: In the International Sexuality Description Project, a total of 17,804 participants from 62 cultural regions completed the RelationshipQuestionnaire (RQ), a self-report measure of adult romantic attachment as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: As part of the International Sexuality Description Project, a total of 17,804 participants from 62 cultural regions completedthe RelationshipQuestionnaire(RQ), a self-reportmeasure of adult romanticattachment. Correlational analyses within each culture suggested that the Model of Self and the Model of Other scales of the RQ were psychometrically valid within most cultures. Contrary to expectations, the Model of Self and Model of Other dimensions of the RQ did not underlie the four-category model of attachment in the same way across all cultures. Analyses of specific attachment styles revealed that secure romantic attachment was normative in 79% of cultures and that preoccupied romantic attachment was particularly prevalent in East Asian cultures. Finally, the romantic attachment profiles of individual nations were correlated with sociocultural indicators in ways that supported evolutionary theories of romantic attachment and basic human mating strategies.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that continuance intentions and behaviour of users of Facebook are likely to be greater when they perceive the behaviour to be associated with significant added-value (i.e. benefits outperform sacrifices).
Abstract: This study examines the continuance participation intentions and behaviour on Facebook, as a representative of Social Networking Sites (SNSs), from a social and behavioural perspective. The study extends the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) through the inclusion of perceived value construct and utilizes the extended theory to explain users' continuance participation intentions and behaviour on Facebook. Despite the recent massive uptake of Facebook, our review of the related-literature revealed that very few studies tackled such technologies from the context of post-adoption as in this research. Using data from surveys of undergraduate and postgraduate students in Jordan (n=403), the extended theory was tested using statistical analysis methods. The results show that attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, and perceived value have significant effect on the continuance participation intention of post-adopters. Further, the results show that continuance participation intention and perceived value have significant effect on continuance participation behaviour. However, the results show that perceived behavioural control has no significant effect on continuance participation behaviour of post-adopters. When comparing the extended theory developed in this study with the standard TPB, it was found that the inclusion of the perceived value construct in the extended theory is fruitful; as such an extension explained an additional 11.6% of the variance in continuance participation intention and 4.5% of the variance in continuance participation behaviour over the standard TPB constructs. Consistent with the research on value-driven post-adoption behaviour, these findings suggest that continuance intentions and behaviour of users of Facebook are likely to be greater when they perceive the behaviour to be associated with significant added-value (i.e. benefits outperform sacrifices).
