Clinical medicine is one of the most chal lenging areas for education. The develop ment of clinical competence requires the assimilation of large amounts of knowl edge combined with acquisition of clinical skills and clinical problem-solving ability. Clinical skills include the technical skill in implementing a procedure as well as skill in patient consultation and physical exami nation. Clinic...

A systematic review of the literature was conducted addressing the following question, "Is there evidence of improvement in communication skills through individual auditory training in an adult hearing-impaired population?" Keywords and authors were used as search terms in eight major indexes, and seven textbooks were reviewed for related references. The level of evidence that was accepted incl...

Background: Communication skill is considered as one of the main features of employees in the health centers. The midwives should make an influential connection with their patients in order to realize the purposes of health. Electronic training is a new method that is accessible and flexible for learning. The present study aimed to determine the impact of electronic training on communication sk...

We propose a keyword-boosted state-level minimum Bayes risk (sMBR) criterion for training DNN-HMM hybrid keyword search systems by enhancing acoustic detail of a given list of target keyword terms. The rationale behind the proposed discriminative training strategy is to place more acoustic modeling emphasis on states appearing in the given keywords. We observed a relative gain of 1.7 ~ 6.1% in ...

Usually the speech and the silence models are trained together depending upon the type of recognition task. For example, if the recognition task is only on connected-digits then the corresponding digit models are built using only the connected-digit training corpus. Similarly for large-vocabulary recognition tasks, the subword or the phoneme models are generated using only the subword training ...

We describe a method for generating sentences from “keywords” or “headwords”. This method consists of two main parts, candidate-text construction and evaluation. The construction part generates text sentences in the form of dependency trees by using complementary information to replace information that is missing because of a “knowledge gap” and other missing function words to generate natural ...
