The paper presents findings of the study conducted on soft skills (transversal skills) in Ukrainian primary school students. sample encompasses students representing 150 schools various types, including experimental involved piloting new State Standard Primary Education. Six were randomly selected among third graders (aged 8-9) from each school. employed such methods as case study, observation,...

We address an important problem in sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq) learning referred to as copying, in which certain segments in the input sequence are selectively replicated in the output sequence. A similar phenomenon is observable in human language communication. For example, humans tend to repeat entity names or even long phrases in conversation. The challenge with regard to copying in Seq2S...

INTRODUCTION On April 25, 1953 James D. Watson and Francis Crick publish "a radically different structure" for DNA, thereby founding the field of Molecular Genetics. Their structure involves two strands of complementary base-paired DNA, running in opposite directions as a double helix. They conclude their report saying that "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postul...

Loosely-coupled distributed systems have significant scale and cost advantages over more traditional architectures, but the availability of the nodes in these systems varies widely. Availability modeling is crucial for predicting per-machine resource burdens and understanding emergent, system-wide phenomena. We present new techniques for predicting availability and test them using traces taken ...

Random copying is a simple model for population dynamics in the absence of selection, and has been applied to both biological and cultural evolution. In this work, we investigate the effect that spatial structure has on the dynamics. We focus in particular on how a measure of the diversity in the population changes over time. We show that even when the vast majority of a population’s history ma...

A system of algorithms is presented for copying documents that are larger than a normal copier platen. The objective is to produce a single output image by computing the registration between a number of image fragments that are scanned separately but cover the document to be copied. A new method for adjusting the registration of multiple image fragments is proposed in this paper. This technique...
