Does EESS#1 NTRUEncrypt use the PKCS#1 MGF (mask generation function)?

vu flag

I downloaded the 1st-round NTRUEncrypt submission from NIST website, the spec mentions the mask generation function MGF1 in ASN.1 definition but not in algorithm description.

Does the EESS#1 NTRUEncrypt use the MGF1 specified in PKCS#1 at all?

The more I read it, the more I get convinced that it is a copy / paste issue, as XOF either SHAKE or AES in counter mode is used.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
