    Abstract : This dissertation contributes to the debate on street-level bureaucracy, which highlights how the decisions made by workers in public bureaucracies effectively become public policy. This debate has paid relatively little attention to the study of how professionals carry out their work by means of institutional categorization, a knowledge gap that this study helps to close.

  4. 2. Factors Shaping Process and Representation in Multiple-Cue Judgment

    Author : Anna-Carin Olsson; Peter Juslin; Nigel Harvey; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; Multiple-Cue Judgment; categorization; cognitive processes; knowl-edge representations; exemplar-based models; cue abstraction models; Psykologi; Psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; psykologi;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the cognitive processes and representations underlying human judgment in a multiple-cue judgment task. Several recent models as-sume that people have several qualitatively distinct and competing levels of knowledge representations (Ashby, Alfonso-Reese, Turken, & Waldron, 1998; Erickson & Kruschke, 1998; Nosofsky, Palmeri, & McKinley, 1994; Sloman, 1996).

  5. 3. With or without context : Automatic text categorization using semantic kernels

    Author : Johan Eklund; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; automatic text categorization; subject classification; machine learning; computational linguistics; support vector machines; semantic kernels; term weighting; divergence from randomness; Library and Information Science; Biblioteks- och informationsvetenskap;

    Abstract : In this thesis text categorization is investigated in four dimensions of analysis: theoretically as well as empirically, and as a manual as well as a machine-based process. In the first four chapters we look at the theoretical foundation of subject classification of text documents, with a certain focus on classification as a procedure for organizing documents in libraries.
