We propose several ways of reusing subword embeddings and other weights in subwordaware neural language models. The proposed techniques do not benefit a competitive character-aware model, but some of them improve the performance of syllableand morpheme-aware models while showing significant reductions in model sizes. We discover a simple hands-on principle: in a multilayer input embedding model...

Design becomes more and more the art of bringing together expertise and experts from different domains in creating future products. Synthetical knowledge and hands-on skills in design, especially in industrial design, is often implicit, hardly captured and modeled for remote education. The need of transferring implicit design knowledge using computer mediated learning tools, provides not only t...

This paper provides an assessment of workforce need in the Jordanian ICT industry. The results have shown that there is a growing workforce gap in the ICT sector. The technical skills of graduates are not satisfactory, and there is an increasing demand for skilled graduates. In addition to the technical skills required, communication skills, creative thinking, and English language skills were s...

Abstract In this paper, we introduce the ChIP project, which aims at teaching coding in primary schools by using a series of educational games and hands-on activities. The overall idea is to determine the benefits and costs of this activity and to explore the meaning and the potential impact of learni...

background and objectives: hospital surfaces can serve as reservoirs of potential pathogenic bacteria.staff hands are the main source of bacterial transmission in hospital. the prevalence of bacteria harboring β– lactamase enzyme in staff hands and hospital surfaces, leads to spread of β–lactamase producing bacteria and ultimate increase of antibiotic resistance nosocomial infections. the aim o...

General practitioners (GPs) have to professionally manage their practice. Studies on the quality of GP educational programs revealed that the majority of GP students are dissatisfied with what they learn about running an own general practice. They learn mostly theory from textbooks as opposed to hands-on experience. The new-generation GPs are raised digitally and need more modern learning metho...
