Named Entity Recognition (NER) and Named Entity Normalization (NEN) refer to the recognition and normalization of raw texts to known entities. From the perspective of recruitment innovation, professional skill characterization and normalization render human capital data more meaningful both commercially and socially. Accurate and detailed normalization of skills is the key for the predictive an...

We document for a broad panel of advanced economies that increases in GDP per capita are associated with a shift in the composition of value added to sectors that are intensive in high-skill labor. It follows that further development in these economies leads to an increase in the relative demand for skilled labor. We develop a two-sector model of this process and use it to assess the contributi...

This paper develops and applies a model of in which doctors have two dimensions of skill: diagnostic skill and skill performing procedures. Higher procedural skill increase the use of intensive procedures across the board, while better diagnostic skill results in fewer intensive procedures for the low risk, but more for the high risk. Deriving empirical analogues to our theoretical measures for...

background and purpose: training in basic clinical and procedural skills is considered an important part of the core medical undergraduate curriculum. there are some reasons to assume that junior doctors are not adequately trained in these skills. due to the lack of enough information on skills competence of our students, this study was designed in 3 medical schools in southern iran to evaluate...

We consider hierarchical model of skills . Based on the model, we clarify difficulties in mastering each skill, consider which difficulties are reduced by existing supporting method, and then clarify which difficulties remain to master self-regulation skill . In this paper we propose a method of supporting learners’ development of their self-regulation skills , which is designed to reduce the r...
