The document provides an introduction to Ivan Pavlov's famous experiment with dogs. It explains that Pavlov noticed dogs salivating when they heard a sound associated with being fed, even if food was not present. Pavlov conducted experiments ringing a bell when feeding the dogs, and the dogs soon learned to associate the bell with food and would salivate upon hearing it. The document also discusses how reinforcement learning works, where behaviors are increased through rewarding responses.

This document discusses using graph-based semi-supervised learning for sentiment categorization. It begins by explaining the problem of sentiment categorization with limited labeled data. A graph-based approach is proposed, where documents are represented as nodes in a graph and edge weights indicate similarity between documents. A loss function is defined over the graph that incorporates both labeled and unlabeled data. By minimizing this loss function, predictions can be made for unlabeled data. A closed-form solution is derived by solving a system of linear equations involving the graph Laplacian matrix. Experimental results show this approach improves over a supervised-only baseline, demonstrating the benefits of leveraging unlabeled data through graph-based semi-supervised learning.

Lesson12: Reinforcement Learning for Critterbot Science 8
Pavlov's famous dog experiments showed that behaviors can be reinforced through conditioning. His experiments demonstrated that dogs could learn to associate the ringing of a bell with being fed by consistently pairing the two stimuli. This established the concept of classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus through repeated exposure. Reinforcement learning in machines works on similar principles, where a computer or robot learns through trial and error by receiving reward feedback that encourages behaviors to be repeated or avoided. Critterbot is an example of a robot that learns to respond to environmental stimuli through a reinforcement learning approach without being explicitly programmed.

1 28 changes in biological components of ecosystem ii ms.ls2
The document discusses the biological components of an ecosystem. It identifies four main biotic components:
1) Producers (plants) that produce their own food through photosynthesis.
2) Consumers at different trophic levels, including primary consumers (herbivores that eat plants), secondary consumers (carnivores and omnivores that eat herbivores) and tertiary consumers (top predators).
3) Scavengers that eat and break down dead consumers.
4) Decomposers like bacteria and fungi that break down remains and release nutrients back into the environment.
Are your gadgets making you behave like pavlov’s dog ?
Ivan Pavlov accidentally discovered classical conditioning through his experiments with dogs. He found that dogs could associate a neutral stimulus like a bell with food and learn to salivate at just the sound of the bell alone. Similarly, many people have become addicted to their gadgets and smartphones, constantly checking for updates and notifications. This constant stimulation from devices means people prefer virtual interactions and games over real-life activities. Both Pavlov's dogs and people demonstrate conditioned responses and addictions to stimuli associated with rewards like food or social updates. Outcome Productivity Module (OPM) training can help reduce interruptions and improve focus to consistently achieve goals and priorities.

Pet challenge assumptions
The document discusses challenges and ideas related to pets. It begins by providing background on the size of the pet industry. It then details an initial brainstorming session by a team where they listed over 170 pet challenges. Examples included behavioral issues, pets getting lost, and maintaining older pets. The team then focused on "Dog Maintenance" as a challenge area. They further discussed ideas such as electronic stores for dogs, tracking lost dogs, and health monitors. The document concludes that the winning idea was a "PottyPal" mobile app that uses sensors to track when and where a dog goes to the bathroom.
Are users really_stupid
Users are not stupid, but interfaces and designers can be unintuitive. While our cognitive abilities are designed for natural interactions, most digital devices work in unintuitive ways. As technologies increase possible artifacts and interactions, designers do not fully understand human abilities and limitations. Many modern interfaces are unnatural and difficult to learn, so designers should focus more on human factors through user research, testing, and guidelines informed by fields like psychology.

Trial-and-Error Learning .pptx
Thorndike's theory of connectionism or trial and error learning posits that learning occurs through a process of trial and error. In his famous puzzle box experiments, Thorndike observed that cats placed in a box would at first make random movements to escape but gradually learned to pull a string to open the door and get food. Over successive trials, the time taken to learn the correct response decreased as incorrect responses were eliminated. Thorndike concluded that learning involves forming direct connections between stimuli and responses through a gradual process of selecting satisfying responses that meet a goal and eliminating annoying responses that do not.
Animal Behavior
The behaviors of eating, sleeping and crying in animals are innate behaviors that are genetically programmed and not learned. An example of an innate behavior is a fixed action pattern exhibited by parent gulls, which will regurgitate food for their chicks in the same sequence in response to chick tapping, even if the stimulus is removed. Learned behaviors develop through experience and include habituation where an animal stops responding to a stimulus after repeated exposure, as well as conditioning where an association is formed between a stimulus and response through reinforcement.

LESSONS FROM THE MICHAEL JACKSON TRIAL
The defense was successful in portraying Michael Jackson favorably to the jury in several ways:
1) They dressed Jackson in ornate costumes that conveyed images of purity, innocence, and humility.
2) Jackson was shown entering the courtroom as if on a red carpet, emphasizing his celebrity status.
3) Jackson appeared vulnerable, childlike, and in declining health during the trial, eliciting sympathy from jurors.
4) Defense attorney Tom Mesereau effectively presented a coherent narrative of Jackson as a victim and portrayed Neverland as a place of refuge, undermining the prosecution's arguments.
Timeline: The Life of Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson was born in 1958 in Gary, Indiana and rose to fame in the 1960s as the lead singer of The Jackson 5, topping music charts in the 1970s. As a solo artist in the 1980s, his album Thriller broke music records. In the 1990s and 2000s, Jackson faced several legal issues related to child abuse allegations while continuing to release music. He married Lisa Marie Presley and Debbie Rowe and had two children before his death in 2009.

LESSONS FROM THE MICHAEL JACKSON TRIAL
The prosecution lost the Michael Jackson trial due to several key mistakes and weaknesses in their case:
1) The lead prosecutor, Thomas Sneddon, was too personally invested in the case against Jackson, having pursued him for over a decade without success.
2) Sneddon's opening statement was disorganized and weak, failing to effectively outline the prosecution's case.
3) The accuser's mother was not credible and damaged the prosecution's case through her erratic testimony, history of lies and con artist behavior.
4) Many prosecution witnesses were not credible due to prior lawsuits against Jackson, debts owed to him, or having been fired by him. Several witnesses even took the Fifth Amendment.
