    Abstract Günümüzde, mülkiyetine bakılmaksızın tüm işletmeler kaçınılmaz bir rekabet ortamı içerisinde faaliyetlerini gerçekleştirmektedir. Bu durum işletmeleri, rekabet gücü elde etmelerini sağlayacak bazı önlemler almaya ve bu yolla maliyetlerini azaltmaya yönlendirmiştir. Bu bağlamda sağlık hizmetleri sunumunda maliyetin önemli bir kısmı komplike vakaların ele alındığı eğitim ve araştırma statüsündeki hastanelerde gerçekleşmektedir. Bu nedenle çalışmada Ankara, İstanbul ve İzmir’de faaliyet gösteren eğitim ve araştırma statüsüne sahip Genel Eğitim Hastaneleri, Üniversite Hastaneleri ve Sağlık Bakanlığı-Üniversite Ortak Hastaneleri değerlendirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada ele alınan 45 hastanenin görece etkinliklerinin değerlendirilmesinde matematiksel programlama tabanlı Veri Zarflama Analizi (VZA) kullanılmıştır. Analizde girdi değişkeni olarak uzman hekim, hemşire, diğer sağlık personeli ve yatak sayısı; çıktı değişkeni olarak ayaktan muayene sayısı, taburcu olan hasta sayısı, yatak doluluk oranı ve ameliyat sayısı belirlenmiştir. Analiz sonucunda 13 hastanenin (,89) toplam etkin, 18 hastanenin () teknik etkin ve 14 hastanenin (,11) ise ölçek etkin olduğu saptanmıştır. Ayrıca analizde etkin olmayan hastanelerin atıl değerleri hesaplanmış ve etkinlik hedefleri oluşturulmuştur. Sonuç olarak eğitim ve araştırma statüsüne sahip bu hastanelerde kaynakların genellikle etkin biçimde kullanılamadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.

    Abstract Recent progress in pretraining language models on large corpora has resulted in large performance gains on many NLP tasks. These large models acquire linguistic knowledge during pretraining, which helps to improve performance on downstream tasks via fine-tuning. To assess what kind of knowledge is acquired, language models are commonly probed by querying them with `fill in the blank' style cloze questions. Existing probing datasets mainly focus on knowledge about relations between words and entities. We introduce WDLMPro (Word Definition Language Model Probing) to evaluate word understanding directly using dictionary definitions of words. In our experiments, three popular pretrained language models struggle to match words and their definitions. This indicates that they understand many words poorly and that our new probing task is a difficult challenge that could help guide research on LMs in the future.

    Abstract Pretrained language models (PLMs) have achieved superhuman performance on many benchmarks, creating a need for harder tasks. We introduce CoDA21 (Context Definition Alignment), a challenging benchmark that measures natural language understanding (NLU) capabilities of PLMs: Given a definition and a context each for k words, but not the words themselves, the task is to align the k definitions with the k contexts. CoDA21 requires a deep understanding of contexts and definitions, including complex inference and world knowledge. We find that there is a large gap between human and PLM performance, suggesting that CoDA21 measures an aspect of NLU that is not sufficiently covered in existing benchmarks.

    Abstract Objective: The susceptible-infected-removed (SIR) model and its variants are widely used to predict the progress of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) worldwide, despite their rather simplistic nature. Nevertheless, robust estimation of the SIR model presents a significant challenge, particularly with limited and possibly noisy data in the initial phase of the pandemic.
    Methods: The K-means algorithm is used to perform a cluster analysis of the top 10 countries with the highest number of COVID-19 cases, to observe if there are any significant differences among countries in terms of robustness.
    Results: As a result of model variation tests, the robustness of parameter estimates is found to be particularly problematic in developing countries. The incompatibility of parameter estimates with the observed characteristics of COVID-19 is another potential problem. Hence, a series of research questions are visited.
    Conclusions: We propose a Single Parameter Estimation (SPE) approach to circumvent these potential problems if the basic SIR is the model of choice, and we check the robustness of this new approach by model variation and structured permutation tests. Dissemination of quality predictions is critical for policy- and decision-makers in shedding light on the next phases of the pandemic.

    Abstract In the field of Geriatronics, enabling effective and transparent communication between humans and robots is crucial for enhancing the acceptance and performance of assistive robots. Our early-stage research project investigates the potential of language-based modulation as a means to improve human-robot interaction. We propose to explore real-time modulation during task execution, leveraging language cues, visual references, and multimodal inputs. By developing transparent and interpretable methods, we aim to enable robots to adapt and respond to language commands, enhancing their usability and flexibility. Through the exchange of insights and knowledge at the workshop, we seek to gather valuable feedback to advance our research and contribute to the development of interactive robotic systems for Geriatronics and beyond.

Nevertheless, robust estimation of the SIR model presents a significant challenge, particularly with limited and possibly noisy data in the initial phase of the pandemic.

As a result of model variation tests, the robustness of parameter estimates is found to be particularly problematic in developing countries.

    Abstract The instantaneous R in Turkey is estimated by Bayesian statistical inference that utilizes a 68-days-long dataset from the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak in Turkey for monitoring the progression of the pandemic. As it is also globally adapted, enforced social distancing measures help to keep the instantaneous reproduction number below one. The low levels of instantaneous R are referred to as a basis for several countries to relax their country-wide restrictions, while hindsight involves a possible second wave of infections to follow in China, Germany, and South Korea. Thus, policy and decision-makers need to be vigilant regarding the pandemic's progress. It is not yet sure if it is possible to maintain the instantaneous reproduction number below one, especially at the lack of societal measures.

    Abstract After a period of decrease, interest in word alignments is increasing again for their usefulness in domains such as typological research, cross-lingual annotation projection, and machine translation. Generally, alignment algorithms only use bitext and do not make use of the fact that many parallel corpora are multiparallel. Here, we compute high-quality word alignments between multiple language pairs by considering all language pairs together. First, we create a multiparallel word alignment graph, joining all bilingual word alignment pairs in one graph. Next, we use graph neural networks (GNNs) to exploit the graph structure. Our GNN approach (i) utilizes information about the meaning, position, and language of the input words, (ii) incorporates information from multiple parallel sentences, (iii) adds and removes edges from the initial alignments, and (iv) yields a prediction model that can generalize beyond the training sentences. We show that community detection provides valuable information for multiparallel word alignment. Our method outperforms previous work on three word-alignment datasets and on a downstream task.

    Abstract The convergence of embodied agents and large language models (LLMs) has brought significant advancements to embodied instruction following. Particularly, the strong reasoning capabilities of LLMs make it possible for robots to perform long-horizon tasks without expensive annotated demonstrations. However, public benchmarks for testing the long-horizon reasoning capabilities of language-conditioned robots in various scenarios are still missing. To fill this gap, this work focuses on the tabletop manipulation task and releases a simulation benchmark, \textit{LoHoRavens}, which covers various long-horizon reasoning aspects spanning color, size, space, arithmetics and reference. Furthermore, there is a key modality bridging problem for long-horizon manipulation tasks with LLMs: how to incorporate the observation feedback during robot execution for the LLM's closed-loop planning, which is however less studied by prior work. We investigate two methods of bridging the modality gap: caption generation and learnable interface for incorporating explicit and implicit observation feedback to the LLM, respectively. These methods serve as the two baselines for our proposed benchmark. Experiments show that both methods struggle to solve some tasks, indicating long-horizon manipulation tasks are still challenging for current popular models. We expect the proposed public benchmark and baselines can help the community develop better models for long-horizon tabletop manipulation tasks.
