We present a syntactic parser training paradigm that learns from large scale Knowledge Bases. By utilizing the Knowledge Base context only during training, the resulting parser has no inference-time dependency on the Knowledge Base, thus not decreasing the speed during prediction. Knowledge Base information is injected into the model using an extension to the Augmented-loss training framework. ...

Reported are the results of a project to promote exclusive breastfeeding in rural communities through the training of community health extension workers in rural Nigeria. A workshop for the trainers was organized for health workers in the study area; subsequently, these trainers ran district-level training workshops. In the study area perinatal facilities, early initiation of breastfeeding has ...

Deep generative models with multiple hidden layers have been shown to be able to learn meaningful and compact representations of data. In this work we propose deep energy models, which use deep feedforward neural networks to model the energy landscapes that define probabilistic models. We are able to efficiently train all layers of our model simultaneously, allowing the lower layers of the mode...

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of isometric training on the elasticity of human tendon structures. Eight subjects completed 12 wk (4 days/wk) of isometric training that consisted of unilateral knee extension at 70% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) for 20 s per set (4 sets/day). Before and after training, the elongation of the tendon structures in the vastus lateralis mu...

Past studies have suggested that acupuncture may reduce spasticity in stroke survivors. We do not know, however, whether acupuncture may enhance the effect of strength training on motor function. This study compared upper-limb motor functional improvement in chronic stroke survivors who received a combination of acupuncture and strength training with that of subjects who received strength train...

OBJECTIVE Describe changes in Nutrition Educator (NE) and Extension Agent (EA) motivation, self-efficacy, and behavioral capability over time after experiential food tasting curriculum training. Identify promoters of curriculum adoption, implementation, and future use. DESIGN Mixed methods design including surveys, lesson implementation reports, and interviews. SETTING New Mexico limited-re...

Transformation of inborn reaction of leg flexion into conditioned escape response of leg extension was studied. The model of the so called precise reflex was used. A dog could avoid or escape the shock applied to the paw by placing this paw in a narrow ,,safety zone" located at a definite height above the floor. When the shock is applied to the paw located below this zone, the escape response i...

INTRODUCTION We examined the degree to which the skills and knowledge of health workers in Ethiopia were retained 18 months after initial maternal and newborn health training and sought to identify factors associated with 18-month skills assessment performance. METHODS A nonexperimental, descriptive design was employed to assess 18-month skills performance on the topics of Prevent Problems Be...
