Who is Randy Pausch?
Randy Pausch was a professor of CS at CMU Pittsburgh; he knew that he had pancreatic cancer in September 2006 and he gave the last lecture on September / 18 / 2007 and it was tilted Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.
What was he known for?
He co-authored a book titled The Last Lecture and his book is New York Times Best Selling.
Some interesting points of his lecture:
The work should be done more efficiently rather than effective.
At some cases you have to reject somethings with a gentile no.
Dead time use it for exercise, or things you don’t do your best on.
Creative time look for it and use it and spend it alone.
It needs to so specific, and give the objectives of the talk not only procedures
Just don't delegate any of it, Cc the most important person, If the person didn’t respond in 2 days it is ok to remind them.
Prof. Hammoud's Cloud Computing Talk:
1) Why and what is cloud computing?
The use of remote servers in a network which is hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, the reason to use cloud computing is to have more efficacy and accessibility than a local server.
2) Is cloud computing a new technology? In other words, what is unique about cloud computing?
It is an method outside of the device to store data and deliver software.
3) What are the three major cloud service models, and which service model would you use to run your simple python programs?
1- SaaS (Software as a Service).
2- IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service).
3- PaaS (Platform as a Service).
Paas would be helpful to use for Phyton.
4) What is the economic/business model of cloud computing?
The business models are build using cloud computing.
Professor Christopher Presentation Questions:
I t is a problem that has two answers it is either solvable or not (yes, or no).
Class P is the class that needs polynomial time to solve problems.
Class NP is the class that needs polynomial time to verify problems.
this question focuses on understanding if there is a problem that could be solved and verified in polynomial time.
I will be a classy millionaire.
Prof. Giselle's talk:
1. What are programming languages for?
are for us users to make the programing process easier.
2. How do we translate solutions to computer programs? What are the limitations?
Usingprograming languges, you don’t need to translate your code if it was in simple form (binary)
3. How many programming languages are there? What does this number tell you?
256, That proves the humans effort to give the user better experience.
Prof. Gianni's talk:
- Can you give both an operational and a philosophical definition of AI?
operational definition is a type of intelligent system designed for real-world applications, particularly at commercial scale.
the philosophical position that human minds are, in essence, computer programs.
- Can you name at least three different techniques or sub-fields of AI?
Machine Learning, Neural Networks, Evolutionary Computation.
- AI has been around since about 70 years so far. Why is it booming right now?
Artificial intelligence is developing faster than we think, and speeding up exponentially. Robots are definitely going to take our job.
- Can you name at least three application sectors where robots are being largely employed? What are the reasons?
Drivers, Astronauts, Soldiers, Surgeons.
- Can you identify three potential challenges for a wheeled autonomous robot that would perform a 24h surveillance task in a large facility?
Running out of charge, Kicking the wrong people and allowing the wrong people to enter, the robot might not be able to go upstairs.
