The BRITE (Building Research Information Technology and Environment) project was established by the Australian Cooperative Research Centre for Construction Innovation to encourage innovation in the construction industry. While innovation is generally perceived to be broadly beneficial, there has been little formal study of its occurrence or impact in Australian construction or of the factors which foster an innovative atmosphere within an enterprise. In order to benchmark innovation performance, the BRITE project conducted a survey in 2004 into the nature, incidence and variety of technological and organisational innovations in various sectors of the industry. With some exceptions, the survey found that clients and consultants engaged in significantly higher levels of innovation than did suppliers, main contractors or trade contractors. Within the industry sectors those organisations classified as high innovators favoured the adoption of advanced management practices and had formal evaluation systems in place to judge their progress. They reported significant positive impacts on their profitability from innovation and can therefore provide instructive examples for the rest of the industry to follow.

BACKGROUND Word embedding technologies are now used in a wide range of applications. However, no formal evaluation and comparison have been made on models produced by the three most famous implementations (Word2Vec, GloVe and FastText). OBJECTIVE The goal of this study is to compare embedding implementations on a corpus of documents produced in a working context, by health professionals. METHODS Models have been trained on documents coming from the Rouen university hospital. This data is not structured and cover a wide range of documents produced in a clinic (discharge summary, prescriptions ...). Four evaluation tasks have been defined (cosine similarity, odd one, mathematical operations and human formal evaluation) and applied on each model. RESULTS Word2Vec had the highest score for three of the four tasks (mathematical operations, odd one similarity and human validation), particularly regarding the Skip-Gram architecture. CONCLUSIONS Even if this implementation had the best rate, each model has its own qualities and defects, like the training time which is very short for GloVe or morphosyntaxic similarity conservation observed with FastText. Models and test sets produced by this study will be the first publicly available through a graphical interface to help advance French biomedical research.

Evaluation Mechanism

Case method has been a popular pedagogy in management education. It is a preferred evaluation tool which is inherently subjective in nature. This article compares the results of case-based evaluation in marketing discipline, in announced and unannounced settings, for full-time and part-time management programmes and discusses its implications. The data were collected from the formal evaluation made by a faculty of an Association of MBAs (AMBA) accredited management institute of India. The results suggests that for full-time residential MBA programmes, use of relative marks for grading each component of the evaluation is likely to be a more robust evaluation mechanism than using just the marks or using the consolidated marks for final grading. However, neither surprise quiz nor announced quiz provide any robust and unbiased method of evaluating the performance of the students of part-time non-residential MBA programme as the result are also dependent on variables like work and family, which are extraneous to the student’s interest and proficiency in the subject.

Subsequent Trial

The ability to detect oestrus in cattle is important where artificial insemination, superovulation or embryo transfer techniques are being used. Even where oestrus is synchronised or controlled, knowlege of the occurrence of oestrus can increase success rates and reduce costs. A testosterone treated female fitted with a chinball marker (Signoret, 1975; Kiser, Britt and Ritchie, 1977) has been shown to be a useful aid to detection of oestrus. A preliminary experience using such females in conjunction with maiden heifers supported these claims and a subsequent trial provided a more formal evaluation of the technique.
