چکیده
there are rare references to professional training in mesopotamian sources mainly because this used to be done in the family, from father to son. nevertheless, there are some 35 apprenticeship contracts from the neo-babylonian period which open a unique window to the social, legal and economic aspects of professional training. the present article edits and translates 3 such apprenticeship contracts from the achaemenid period and studies the form and content of these contracts. the documents demonstrate economic specialization among the babylonian craftsmen and the role of private sector within the society.

evidence is factual and descriptive and thorough, but her conclusions are sometimes circumspect. Compelling questions that are raised in conclusions are not pursued. How did Egyptians explain physical deformity, and why did they have deformed gods? Her comparison of attitudes towards dwarfism with attitudes to other forms of physical disability loses potency by the briefness of the discussion. ...
متن کاملA Reduction from Apprenticeship Learning to Classification
We provide new theoretical results for apprenticeship learning, a variant of reinforcement learning in which the true reward function is unknown, and the goal is to perform well relative to an observed expert. We study a common approach to learning from expert demonstrations: using a classification algorithm to learn to imitate the expert’s behavior. Although this straightforward learning strat...

متن کاملBootstrapping Apprenticeship Learning
•We consider the problem of imitation learning where the examples, given by an expert, cover only a small part of a large state space. • Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) provides an efficient tool for generalizing the partial demonstration, based on the assumption that the expert is maximizing an unknown utility function. • IRL consists in learning a reward function that explains the expert...
متن کاملStructured Apprenticeship Learning
We propose a graph-based algorithm for apprenticeship learning when the reward features are noisy. Previous apprenticeship learning techniques learn a reward function by using only local state features. This can be a limitation in practice, as often some features are misspecified or subject to measurement noise. Our graphical framework, inspired from the work on Markov Random Fields, allows to ...
متن کاملThe postdoctoral apprenticeship.
Much has been written already about whether the scientific machine is churning out too many PhDs and postdocs when there are a limited number of academic jobs and the competition for funding and space in competitive journals is intense. But gratifyingly, there exists a vast array of other scientific careers. We need to mentor and advise trainees about the diverse and rewarding professional oppo...
