LLMs Reproduce Human Purchase Intent via Semantic Similarity Elicitation of Likert Ratings
Consumer research costs companies billions annually yet suffers from panel biases and limited scale. Large language models (LLMs) offer an alternative by simulating synthetic consumers, but produce unrealistic response distributions when asked directly for numerical ratings. We present semantic similarity rating (SSR), a method that elicits textual responses from LLMs and maps these to Likert distributions using embedding similarity to reference statements. Testing on an extensive dataset compr…

product_space: Atlas of Economic Complexity export network
Two networks of economic products, where a pair of products are connected if they are exported at similar rates by the same countries. The data are a projection from a bipartite network of nations and the products they export. Edges weights represent a similarity score (called "proximity"). Data based on UN Comtrade worldwide trade patterns. SITC network based on the Standard International Trade Classification and HS …

#PhantastikPrompts 9.10.: "Does your protagonist believe in magic or something similar?"
Although she is a hereditary priestess and avatar of the God, Selchae starts the narrative as a shallow and vain unbeliever. As she gradually comes to inhabit her role, this changes. The God is capable of 'things similar to magic', but I don't think that even by the end of…

Un cadre paraconsistant pour l'{é}valuation de similarit{é} dans les bases de connaissances
This article proposes a paraconsistent framework for evaluating similarity in knowledge bases. Unlike classical approaches, this framework explicitly integrates contradictions, enabling a more robust and interpretable similarity measure. A new measure $ S^* $ is introduced, which penalizes inconsistencies while rewarding shared properties. Paraconsistent super-categories $ Ξ_K^* $ are defined to hierarchically organize knowledge entities. The model also includes a contradiction extractor $ E $…

Motion-Based User Identification across XR and Metaverse Applications by Deep Classification and Similarity Learning
This paper examines the generalization capacity of two state-of-the-art classification and similarity learning models in reliably identifying users based on their motions in various Extended Reality (XR) applications. We developed a novel dataset containing a wide range of motion data from 49 users in five different XR applications: four XR games with distinct tasks and action patterns, and an additional social XR application with no predefined task sets. The dataset is used to evaluate the per…
