The Dawn of Fully Automated Contract Drafting: Machine Learning Breathes New Life Into a Decades-Old Promise

Technological advances within contract drafting software have seemingly plateaued. Despite the decades-long hopes and promises of many commentators, critics doubt this technology will ever fully automate the drafting process. But, while there has been a lack of innovation in contract drafting software, technological advances have continued to improve contract review and analysis programs. “Machine learning,” the leading innovative force in these areas, has proven incredibly efficient, performing in mere minutes tasks that would otherwise take a team of lawyers tens of hours. Some contract drafting programs have already experimented with machine learning capabilities, and this technology may pave the way for the full automation of contract drafting. Although intellectual property, data access, and ethical obstacles may delay complete integration of machine learning into contract drafting, full automation is likely still viable

An introduction to the theory and practice of MOVE progression accords.

MOVE progression accords identify specific vocational progression routes from both further education and the workplace to and through higher education. This includes the provision of guaranteed places on higher education programmes of study and other agreed collaborative activities designed to support and prepare learners for progression to higher education. MOVE progression accords are designed to promote vocational progression opportunities and to encourage the engagement of employers in supporting progression to higher level learning in collaboration with MOVE and its partner institutions in the region. In signing the accord, partners are also committing to implementing an agreed set of ‘required’ activities designed to ensure that the accords are seen as a supported, collaborative process between the practitioners and the learners involved. There is also a list of optional ‘recommended’ activities. Our approach is predicated on the belief that this shared professional learning will help to effect behavioural and culture changes that will underpin the continuing success and sustainability of the accords

A Model Faculty Handbook to Promote a Shared Vision and a Collaborative School Culture

The purpose of the study was to develop a model faculty handbook to promote a shared vision and a collaborative school culture. To accomplish this purpose, a review of related literature was conducted. Related information and materials from selected sources were obtained and analyzed. Additionally, specific information and forms were adapted and developed to serve an elementary faculty

Veterinary Medicine Explorer Post Sponsored by the College of Veterinary Medicine

In the mid-1960s the Boy Scouts of America initiated a new approach in their programming. Until that time the Explorer Scout program was outdoor-oriented and aimed at 14 to 18 year old boys pursuing a more advanced experience than the younger Boy Scouts. Exploring became coeducational in the new concept and units were encouraged to develop as career-oriented or special interest Posts

Persistent superfluid phase in a three-dimensional quantum XY model with ring exchange

We present quantum Monte Carlo simulation results on a quantum S=1/2 XY model with ring exchange (the J-K model) on a three-dimensional simple cubic lattice. We first characterize the ground state properties of the pure XY model, obtaining estimations for the energy, spin stiffness and spin susceptibility at T=0 in the superfluid phase. With the ring exchange, we then present simulation data on small lattices which suggests that the superfluid phase persists to very large values of the ring exchange K, without signatures of a phase transition. We comment on the consequences of this result for the search for various exotic phases in three dimensions.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Nonlocal effects on magnetism in the diluted magnetic semiconductor Ga_{1-x}Mn_{x}As

The magnetic properties of the diluted magnetic semiconductor Ga_{1-x}Mn_{x}As are studied within the dynamical cluster approximation. We use the k-dot-p Hamiltonian to describe the electronic structure of GaAs with spin-orbit coupling and strain effects. We show that nonlocal effects are essential for explaining the experimentally observed transition temperature and saturation magnetization. We also demonstrate that the cluster anisotropy is very strong and induces rotational frustration and a cube-edge direction magnetic anisotropy at low temperature. With this, we explain the temperature-driven spin reorientation in this system.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures; to be published in Phys. Rev. Let
