“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…

knowledge, Philosophy and Mathematics, stem from the same principles and axioms. It sparked my interest in Computer Science, as I came to realize that it was quite complementary to what I was learning in class. I was familiarized with the concept of algorithms, computational logic, and realized that programming, for instance, is often misrepresented and misperceived as intimidating, merely because it entails writing seemingly incomprehensible combinations of letters and numbers. Yet, the purpose…

Computers, which have been around from less than a century, have made a huge impact around the world. However, even if we realize that computers are a basic tool in everyday life, people underestimate the capacity of these computing devices. The first time Google announced that their AlphaGO was going to compete with Go master Lee SeDol Kudan, my comrades and I had a strong faith on Lee. However, as we all know, the result surprised the world. Consequently, I believe we should not only make…

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…

Divide and conquer is an algorithm which design paradigm based on multi-branched recursion. This designed paradigm consists of following phases: 1) Break the problem (divide): Breaking the problem into several sub-problems that are smaller in size. 2) Solve the sub problem(conquer) : Solve the sub-problem recursively . 3) Combine the solutions (Merge): Combine solutions to subproblems to create a solution to the original problem. This technique is the basis of algorithms for all kinds of…

The difference in the meaning of AI and AGI come from the old definition and expectations of what AI was compared to the one we know today. There was a proposal made to research AI at Dartmouth College in 1955 which stated: The study is to proceed on the conjecture that every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it. (McCarthy, Minsky, Rochester & Shannon, 1955, p. 13) This idea of AI is the…

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…
