This paper explores the problem of computing text similarity between verb phrases describing skilled human behavior for the purpose of finding approximate matches. Four parsers are evaluated on a large corpus of skill statements extracted from an enterprise-wide expertise taxonomy. A similarity measure utilizing common semantic role features extracted from parse trees was found superior to an i...

Skill-Based learning environment is used in learning process for decision making, communication and problemsolving. The semantic annotation used in real-time annotations of these simulations for debriefing of the persons, person study and better analysis of the learning approaches of mentors.A ubiquitous learning surroundings are provided an inter-operable, persistent and faultless learning arc...

The semantic web represents a major advance in web utility, but it is currently difficult to create semantic-web content because pages must be semantically annotated through processes that are mostly manual and require a high degree of engineering skill. Furthermore, users need an effective way to query the semantic web, but any burden placed on users to learn a query language is unlikely to ga...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The most remarkable behavioral asymmetry is handedness. The preferred hand often has better performance, motor strength, nonpreferred hand. However, whether these components are associated with skill learning is not clear. METHODS We evaluated healthy right-handers by setting a series of motor-performance tasks including skill learning, grip strength, and speed. RESUL...

This article presents a generalization of the equilibrium analysis for the simple two-player poker game with alternate bidding of Von Neumann and Morgenstern. It approximates optimal play for this game if it is played with a regular deck of 52 cards and it discusses some strategic insights. In addition, the paper studies the relative skill level of this game.

In 2013, Canadian scholars delivered a 1-week workshop to 30 junior public health professionals in Rwanda. The goal was to improve the Rwandans' skills and confidence with respect to writing scientific papers for submission to international peer-reviewed global health journals. As a result of the workshop, there was a statistically significant improvement in participants' reported confidence in...
