In this paper, we investigate how technology has contributed to experimental economics in the past and illustrate how experimental economics can contribute to technological progress in the future. We argue that with machine learning (ML), a new technology is at hand, where for the first time experimental economics can contribute to enabling substantial improvement of technology. At the same time, ML opens up new questions for experimental research because it can generate previously impossible observations.

The current methods in the clinical application undergo biases and errors; moreover, such methods do not facilitate continuous pain monitoring. For this purpose, the recent methodologies in automatic pain assessment were introduced, which demonstrated the possibility for objectively and robustly measuring and monitoring pain when using behavioral cues and physiological signals.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFace and person detection are important tasks in computer vision, as they represent the first component in many recognition systems, such as face recognition, facial expression analysis, body pose estimation, face attribute detection, or human action recognition. Thereby, their detection rate and runtime are crucial for the performance of the overall system. In this paper, we combine both face and person detection in one framework with the goal of reaching a detection performance that is competitive to the state of the art of lightweight object-specific networks while maintaining real-time processing speed for both detection tasks together.
