INTRODUCTION TO MACHINE LEARNING

Introduction
Machine learning refers to the development of learning algorithms, which enable computers to automatically execute tasks without the need for human intervention (Schapire 2003). With application learning techniques, computers are able to come up with their own programs for solving a problem, and these are based on the examples that the computers are provided.
In particular, some of the questions that the discipline of machine learning aims to answer are: 1.) How computer systems that automatically improve with experience can be built; and 2.) What the fundamental laws are that govern all learning processes (Mitchell 2006).

“Can machines think?” – Alan Turing, 1950

This is the one question humans have been asking for decades (even centuries) and it is a topic which has been widely explored until this very moment. This question was posed by Alan Turing in his essay way back in the 1950s. As we all know, one core function of computers nowadays is to enable a systematic automation of processes. These processes pertain to tasks that used to be performed by humans manually. However, computers (and machines) have always worked in a fashion where people command every single move it makes, and therefore the computing world is Continue reading...

Executive summary

In understanding cost and pricing dynamics in relation to profitability, at least four issues face the cost accountant in tracing product or service costs, the value of which will be used as an essential input in pricing decisions. These are complexity, accuracy, ease of estimation, and time. Joint cost allocation is an example of a complex cost tracing due to inevitable data gaps. Sunk costs exemplify a type of cost the accountants normally consider as marginal and, therefore, may be ignored in the cost trace. Opportunity costs also possess a unique characteristic in its “potentiality” by nature, although Continue reading...

Introduction:

Suchman argues that plans are an important component in computer science and Artificial Intelligence research. According to Suchman, plans are understood best not as determinates of action but are explained as rhetorical devices for explaining the action. This helps her to explain the aspect of human-machine interaction. She recommended methods like conversation analysis and ethnomethodology for studying the relation between machines and human beings in reality. Suchman used methods and theories from different fields or disciplines in order to understand fully the concept of human –machine relationship. The examples of the real world problems dealing interacting with human beings Continue reading...

The Scientific American printed in its edition published on September 22, 1860, that sewing machine is the third most important invention of mankind next only to the plough and spinning Jenny. (Perkin, 2002).Though there is no proper data as to who exactly invented the first sewing machine, Thomas Saint of Britain who filed a patent in the year 1790, is generally considered to be the first to discover a working model. But mass marketing of these sewing machines were first done by Isaac Merritt Singer, who made it a household product across the globe. (Forsdyke, Continue reading...

Of all accomplished novels by H.G Wells, The Time Machine most resists a twenty-first century readers’ effort, to pardon Wells from the accusation of being an imperialist. Indeed, it is clear that imperialism is a vital element in H G Wells novels. Wells imbues his texts with colonial and occupation components that require separation between the future and the present and momentary pleasure, particularly those delights associated with the self-centered British conquerors exemplified by The Time Machine’s, The Time Traveler. Wells’ story from a post-modern eye represents an imperial Britain wallowing with forces of technology that it uses Continue reading...

Introduction

The beginning of the concept of aviation began in Chinese in the fourth century A.D. In 400 B.C a toy that consisted of feathers at the end of a stick was spun between the hands to generate a lift and after its release it provided a free flight, It is assumed that those who build the  toys were inspired by the auto rotating nature of seeds from trees such as Sycamore. ¹

In the year 1480, Leonard da Vinci discovered that a screw shaped device well made from a  starched linen can rise in air if turned quickly.

“A fax machine is a machine that sends messages to another fax machine by a phone line, at the same moment, when the message is sent to the other machine, it decodes the message and prints it out” (Beau, n.d.). Hence, a process of faxing is by definition "a method of encoding data, transmitting it over a telephone line or radio broadcast, and receiving a hard copy of the text, line drawings, or photographs at a remote location” (Bellis, n.d.). The very first prototype of a fax machine dates back to the middle of 19th century when in 1843 Continue reading...

Building own personal computer rather than buying an already built PC is better because, with this option, one is able to get a computer that suits the needs they have. It will also be a lot easier to do the upgrading of the PC in the times to come because the owner understands the machine well. Another reason for this option is that it saves money when opting it build own machine when compared to purchasing something that is already built. Getting personal computers that have already been built is expensive as the sellers include the cost of assembling Continue reading...

Computer Numerical Control

Computer Numerical Control (CNC), initially known as Numerical Control (NC), is the process of automating operations of a manufacturing machine depending on coding of letters, numbers and special characters. It involves the operation of conceptually programmed commands on a storage medium. It uses computers on a very large scale of the control where a set of coded commands or instructions are used to execute operation. The instructions are referred to as programs which are translated into electrical signals for input to motors that run the machines (Hauth 2011). The process of creating programs using numerical control is known as Continue reading...

The main stages of the development can be defined in the following order: simple tools, accumulation of tools, sophisticated tools; the actuation of the complex tools by single engine - human hands, bringing these tools into action by the forces of nature; machine; system of machines having one motor; the machine system having automatic engine.
The first four stages of the given periodization received their formation in the primitive period. A simple instrument that has no component parts, appeared millennia before our era, in the early period of the Stone Age (Paleolithic) as a hammer - piece of pebble Continue reading...

Definition of Cyborg and Overview

When defining a cyborg, one has to understand that as a metaphor, a cyborg cannot be bound by singular descriptions founded on natural truths. Defining a cyborg should take into consideration the fact that it should not fit within the ancient western mythologies since it is not made of earth and will never return to it. Therefore, since the cyborg is outside of this structure, it is either gender neutral or genderless altogether. It should not crave for parental love or have the urge to be completed by a mate.
Therefore, a cyborg refers to a fictitious and cybernetic Continue reading...
