I first got introduced to computers when I was quite young, I followed my dad to work and within a few minutes I had successfully crashed the PC, typical windows. Within a year we got a pc at home and within a day I crashed that one as well. I don’t know exactly what I did to it, but someone the operating system was couldn’t restore itself to a working state automatically and we had to call someone over to fix. So as you can probably guess I was banned from even touching the computer till…
Death of a family member can be painful and heartbreaking. When a person is put in a situation to pull the plug or keep the person alive, the decision can be troublesome. A decision such as life or death towards a loved one shouldn’t be made by one person only. That’s why doctors play a major role in this situation, doctors can help us determine what we should do. However, Doctors don’t always make rational decisions in a stressful situation, they need extra help as well. The RIP system can be…
Tiny computer - Raspberry Pi Zero Computers such as a laptop, desktop are very familiar to everyone nowadays, and computer programming is a job works on the computer that creates software, technologies to improve human’s life better. However, the computer is still expensive to someone anyways, and computer programming is still a job that a lot of people don’t know yet. So what is “art” from technology? For someone, the computer is just a development of technologies, the thing that…
“Siri, what’s the weather outside?” People today ask this question a lot. What they don’t usually think about is how Siri is able to comprehend what they are saying. This is just one way that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used today. In this example, the phone uses Natural Language Processing (which is a part of AI) to comprehend what the person is saying. The easy means of communication we know today would not be at our disposal without Artificial Intelligence. There are many parts to…
The Imitation Game was developed in 1950 by Alan Turing. The goal of the game is to proof that a machine can think. In the game the interrogator must determine which one of the participants is a human and which one is the machine. He states that if a machine passes the test, there will be no question that the machine is undeniably thinking. He rises the argument of consciousness, the objection of Lady Lovelace’s, his responses and leave as with the question if the test is a good way to tell if a…
Abstract—In this paper we have proposed speculative Han-Carlson adder. The proposed adder Employs speculation: the exact mathematic function is replaced with an approximated one that is faster and gives the correct result most of the time, but not for all time. The approximated adder is augmented with an error detection network that asserts an error signal when speculation fails. The speculative adder to reduce delay and power consumption compared to non-speculative adder and simulated using…
A. Mumford-Shah segmentation functional Mumford and Shah proposed this segmentation method based on a variational platform. Let Ω certainly be a bounded open amount of region R in addition to u_0 is preliminary image data. Segmentation of this kind of image into homogeneous items is completed via the search for a pair of components (u, K), where K is a number of contours, and u is usually a piecewise smooth approximation of u_0.The minimization of an energy functional (u, K) in a way that u…
I will never forget the first time I started programming. I started with the hopes of creating a “Triple A” game title or a physics engine for a game. Oh how naïve I was, I thought I would be able to program anything. With the sights of programming in my eyes one night I found myself alone in my room. The room was dark, the screen was bright and filled with white and a blinking cursor. I stared at it as it daunted me until the void in my mind finally expanded with the question “What do I do…
“Cool,” I exclaimed as I won Minesweeper for the first time. As I was playing, I wondered, “How are these games made?” Little did I know that there were multiple lines of code written to engineer the game. Digital games like Minesweeper sparked a curiosity in my six year old mind that incited my passion for Computer Science. As a middle schooler, computers intrigued me. I always wanted to find the answer to the question “How can a small little box be so smart?” To do so, I decided to enroll…
has its own algorithm, which people may not even realize. In Steven Poole’s article, “Slaves to the Algorithm,” he discusses the many ways people allow devices to take over their lives and cloud their judgments. Furthermore, Poole describes how old chess matches would last for hours and the participants would get so involved in the games, but when the computerized version of chess came out, it…
