What is a decision problem?
A decision problem can simply be simply defined as problems where the otputs are either a yes or no.
What does it mean for a decision problem to be decidable?
A decision problem bieng decidable means it can be solved in a limited number of steps.
What does it mean for a decision problem to be efficiently decidable?
A decision problem is considred effectivley solvabale if A is a repeated set.
What is the “P versus NP” question, intuitively?
The question is wether all problems with quickly verified solutions can also be solved quickly.
If you resolve the P versus NP question, how much richer will you be?
It would make you an "easy" million dollars.
What did attackers break into?
Attackers broke into the Qatar News Agency's Database.
How did the attackers break into it?
The attackers cyber-attacked the News Agency in Qatar and threatned the peace and stability of Qatar.
Who was impacted?
Everone that lives in qatar is immpacted by this security breach. This was what started the Blockade, and it has since affected the people of qatar and it's neighbors.
How was it investigated?
After the hackers released information that was meant to be private, Qatar took it in it's own hands to investigate this matter. The goverment of Qatar has proof that the blockade countries are the ones responsible for the attack. Qatar also requested the help of the FBI in this investagtion.
What did attackers break into?
Attackers broke into the Qatar National Bank's databases.
How did the attackers break into it?
They did so by leaking very sensitive information to the public. The attackers leaked many of the banks transactions along with people's passwords.
Who was impacted?
The people who work at QNB along with all their cosutmers are impacted by this leak. People had to change thier bank passwords and many switched to other banks after the leak.
How was it investigated?
QNB, who is owned by the state, quickly began investagating this matter. They aim on strengthinig their security so such event does'nt occur again.
What is Cloud computing?
Cloud computing can be defined as the avalibality of a computer systems resources, without the user having to manage it directly.
Is cloud computing a new technology per se? In other words, what are the unique technology features of cloud computing, if any?
Cloud computing can generally be considred as a new technology. I believe with more time, we could improve it for the future. Cloud computing has many unique features, but i will talk about on-demand self service. This feature allows the consumer to recieve acsess to a service, without an admnistrator having to fulfil it manually.
What are the three major cloud service models?
1.) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
2.) Platform as a Service (PaaS)
3.) Software as a Service (SaaS)
Name at least 3 real-world domains where the application of cloud computing was (or can be) very enabling and effective
1.) File Storage
2.) Backup
3.) Test and Develop an enviroment
What is the economic/business model of cloud computing?
It is a new buisness model that works with technology. The cloud sells platforms and applications as services for the consumer. The benifits of this "pay as you go" model is it reduces time and resources required.
Why did we move from punch cards to programming languages? What does that tell you about the purpose of programming languages?
With the advancment of computers, we moved from punching cards to programming languages due to PL bieng more efficient at giving commands to a computer. This tells us that the purpose of programming languages was to fulfil the instructions gave to a computer quicker.
There are hundreds of different programming languages out there. Why do you think we need so many?
Because each language may be made to do diffrent things. Also, people keep creating diffrent programming languages believing it may be better than others.
What are some drawbacks of a programming language you use? How would you like it to be different? Think of specific examples.
Pyhon 3 is a great programming language that is pretty simple tolearn. It has drawbacks that include it bieng slow compared to other languages, and it is not a good language for mobile development. Since I am only a beginner, I do not know what I would change, but learning python is going good so far.
If you were going to create a new programming language, how would you start? What do you need to define?
I believe starting my own programming language would be very time consuming. The first thing to do would be to define a bunch of syntax with it's corresponding function. I would need to define many basic terms and slowly add on to the library of terms.
How do you define AI?
I would define artificial intelligence as the ability of a computer/computer- controlled robot to perform tasks that humans can.
Can you name at least three different sub-fields of AI?
1.) Soft computing
2.) Fuzzy systems
3.) Machine Learning
AI has been around since about 70 years so far. Why is it booming right now?
It is booming now because of the advancment of computers and technology in general. Another reason is the avalibility of data, which provides us with better alogrithims than before.
Can you name at least three application sectors where robots are being largely employed? What are the reasons?
1.) Health care industry (Precise surgeries)
2.) Millitary (Battlefield support)
3.) Manufacturing industry (Manufactoring tasks)
Can you identify three major challenges for a wheeled autonomous robot performing a 24h surveillance task in a large facility?
1.) Costly
2.) Requires lots of computing power
3.) large distance to cover
Name 3 applications on Natural Language Processing
1.) Text Classification
2.) Machine translation
3.) speech recognition
Select three words in your language and for each word try to separate into its internal component.
1.) Un-destruct-able
2.) Comp-on(e)-nt
3.) Pro-cess-ing
Select three sentences in your native language and translate these sentences to English. Indicate which words or small groups of words translate to which words or groups of words in Eglish translation.
