This document discusses the need for upskilling and reskilling workers during the COVID-19 economic crisis. It notes that the skills gap is increasing and jobless rates could reach 30% due to the pandemic's economic impact. While recessions typically increase enrollment in education, people may be unwilling to enroll in long-term programs given current uncertainty. The document argues that now is the critical time for upskilling, as 54% of the workforce will need reskilling in the next 5 years. Barriers to learning like lack of time have been reduced as people work from home with more flexible hours. A new learning model is proposed that combines working and learning time through sabbaticals and lifelong learning.

The Future of Corporate Learning: from Training to Learning ExperienceFabernovel
With innovation cycles becoming ever shorter, companies are faced with a new challenge: keeping their key skills up to date in real time. This strategic dimension of ‘workforce planning’ cannot rely solely on recruitment; existing employees must be able to continuously learn new things. As such, the number one skill companies now look for is the capacity to learn, and companies are particularly looking for ‘learning animals’, a term coined by Google.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

8. About The Performance Institute
Called “the leading think tank in performance measurement for government” on
OMB’s ExpectMore.gov, The Performance Institute has been a leader in Performance
Management training and policy since the 2000 administration transition. As part of
the Government Performance Coalition, a group of good government organizations, the
Institute worked in 2000 to deliver recommendations to the then new administration on
what would become the President’s Management Agenda.
In 2009, the Institute is leading Innovations in Government: From Transition to
Transformation, or InnoGOV.org, a collection of forums, research and recommendations
to bring insight and transformation to the federal government. The goal of InnoGOV.
org is to centralize the importance of performance, accountability and transparency in
government and to disseminate the leading best practices to government managers.
The Performance Institute has published several research reports regarding performance
management initiatives and trains over 10,000 government managers per year on
performance-based topics. Dedicated to improving citizen services and taxpayer
transparency, the Institute uses a best-practices foundation to deliver the most effective
and tested methodologies for improving performance.
