This paper examines the impact of being an innovator on firm productivity in Taiwan. Using a panel of 48794 firms observed over the 1997-2003 period, and distributed across 23 industries, we compute TFP by estimating Translog production functions with conventional K, L, E, M inputs. We evaluate the impact of being an innovator on TFP using propensity score matching. The rationale is that, over ...

Inflows of foreign direct investment generate externalities that spill over to domestic firms and raise their productivity. This article examines the extent of spillover effects of foreign direct investment for firms in the highly disaggregated garment (ISIC 3221) and electronics industries (ISIC 3832) in Indonesia. Both are export-intensive industries, but differ greatly in technological sophi...

Deep learning has played a major role in the interpretation of dermoscopic images for detecting skin defects and abnormalities. However, current deep solutions dermatological lesion analysis are typically limited providing probabilistic predictions which highlights importance concerning uncertainties. This concept uncertainty can provide confidence level each feature prevents overconfident with...

Audio classification has been one of the most popular applications Artificial Neural Networks. This process is at center modern AI technology, such as virtual assistants, automatic speech recognition, and text-to-speech applications. There have studies about spoken digit its However, to best author's knowledge, very few works focusing on English recognition that implemented ANN done. In this st...

The deep learning technique uses speech recognition in many different applications, including voice assistants, authentication, audio transcriptions, etc. Children who are dyslexic, blind persons and those with impairments can all benefit from spoken digit recognition. goal of this paper is to create for the categorization digits 0 9 utilizing Convolution Neural Networks (CNN) Long Short -Term ...
