What the researchers found was a high correlation between judgments made by the untrained eye in a matter of seconds and those made by trained interviewers after going through the whole process.
Inspired by human vision research (see Oliva & Torralba, 2006) that suggests that low spatial frequencies are sufficient to communicate the layout of a natural scene, Thielsch & Hirschfeld (2010, 2012) found high correlation between judgments of aesthetics made on low-pass filtered web page screenshots and the original web page screenshots.
The greater number of levels of the cognitive variable, p(C), in comparison to the involvement variable, could have favored the observation of a significant correlation between judgments and p(C).
Research during this period explored important correlations between judgments of appearance and judgments of character trait, and between judgments of one character trait and another.
(Scientists will have to explore the correlation between faulty judgments by men in stripes and their primping and strutting).
The proposed metric is evaluated with three kinds of robustness tests and its correlation with human judgments.
Extensive experiments show that the proposed data augmentation scheme not only makes our metric more robust toward several pathological transformations, but also improves its correlation with human judgments.
While several automatic metrics, such as BLEU, have been proposed and adopted for largescale MT system discrimination, they all fail to achieve satisfactory levels of correlation with human judgments at the sentence level.
The resulting metric, based on support vector machines, is shown to significantly improve upon current automatic metrics, increasing correlation with human judgments at the sentence level halfway toward that achieved by an independent human evaluator.
When a player's whole posture was considered, this misapprehension went away: if a volunteer could see everything about a player from the table up there was no correlation between his judgments of a hand's value and its actual value.
