“…When they are recognized, these individual trends are either largely dismissed as economic factors caused by the global recession and stubbornly high unemployment rate. …”

“…We also document the very large increase in the incidence of minimum wage earners and nominal wage freezes. …”

“…While the reach and impact of these programmes is still rather limited in the face of the country’s 32 million “extremely poor” (1990), and data are lacking for a comprehensive evaluation, the approach followed deserves attention as a large-scale experiment which introduces new political practices, based on dialogue between administrations and committees of citizens about priorities as well as implementation and monitoring of activities. …”

“…Comparative econometric exercises in the study also suggest large gaps between actual inflows into SOM and into similar economies elsewhere. …”

“…Because conventional approaches to reform largely unfunded retirement income schemes prove politically and economically difficult, attention has focused on the option of a partial shift towards funded provisions. …”

“…For a long time European Economic and Monetary Union was mainly considered an internal European issue and external consequences were largely ignored. In contrast to most previous analyses, this paper looks at a number of international implications of monetary union. …”

“…The past two decades have seen a rapid rise in large-scale, state-led transnational investment from countries as different as China, Norway and Russia. …”

“…This course will provide an introduction to AI technology with a heavy focus on Large Language Models. Expert Nate Lee will start with high-level overviews of the different flavors of AI, what they're good for, and where learners can expect to see them used. …”

“…In this course, you learn about word embeddings: not only how they are used in these models, but also how they can be leveraged to parse large amounts of textual information utilizing concepts such as vector storage and retrieval augmented generation. …”

“…This is followed by a deep dive into popular AI algorithms and large language models (LLMs), including GPT-4, that are at the forefront of AI innovation. …”

“…Demonstrating how to integrate large amounts of data from web, digital, social, and search platforms, this helpful guide offers actionable insights into data analysis, explaining how to "connect the dots" and "humanize" information to make effective marketing decisions. …”

“…The symposium is co-located with the 41st International Conference on Very Large Databases, VLDB 2015, highlighting the synergy between big data and the cloud…”

“…"W22 Software Engineering Challenges of Cloud Computing: Cloud Computing as a new paradigm for deploying and managing services on large distributed infrastructures poses interesting challenges for both academic and industrial research. …”

“…Still, the size of this volume is large, just as the scope of the Conference is broad. …”

“…Annotation Applications and experiments in all areas of science are becoming increasingly complex and more demanding in terms of their computational and data requirements Some applications generate data volumes reaching hundreds of terabytes and even petabytes Analyzing, visualizing, and disseminating these large data sets has become a major challenge and data intensive computing is now considered as the fourth paradigm in scientific discovery after theoretical, experimental, and computational science As scientific applications become more data intensive, the technologies of handling Big Data have gathered great importance This necessity has made that applications have seen an increasing adoption on clouds infrastructures The computing models, system software, programming models, analysis frameworks, and other clouds services need to evolve and accommodate them to face the challenge of big data applications…”

“…The Conference has changed in character from a meeting of small groups of specialists discussing problems of mutual interest to large meetings involving people from many phases of engineering, management, business control. …”

“…The accomplishment of this goal is exhibited by the large number of papers contained herein, encompassing hardware, software, systems, and applications. …”

“…In addition, he has modernized and standardized the spelling but left intact the words and grammatical forms, and he has restored most of the original punctuation, which, unlike the standard version, largely adheres to modern practices. Finally, he presents the text in paragraph format, making this King James Bible a fully comprehensible and gratifying read…”

“…Over the past two decades, software engineering research has yielded many different tools and techniques for understanding and maintaining the architectures of large, complex software systems. However, empirical research and technology transfer are impeded by myriad disjoint research and development environments, lack of a shared infrastructure, high initial costs associated with developing robust tools, and a lack of datasets needed to conduct empirical research in this domain. …”

“…The core language has become increasingly large and complex, and the libraries associated with it have grown even more. …”
