The Hill of Uisneach was an important historical site in ancient Ireland. It served as a home for Ireland's early High Kings before the capital shifted to the Hill of Tara. The hill was also a sacred site for Druids, who would meet there annually on May 1st to light fires celebrating their god Ériu, from which Ireland derives its name. In addition, the Hill of Uisneach functioned as an open-air marketplace where farmers could exchange cattle, sheep, and produce through bartering. Today the hill remains significant, with an annual Festival of Fires held there in May to commemorate ancient traditions.
This document proposes using machine learning and neural networks to develop educational software to help students improve their calculating skills. It describes developing a neural network model trained on student performance data to estimate individual weak points in calculation. An experiment tests different neural network parameters and finds hidden neurons of 9 and 2000 learning iterations provides good accuracy over 99% with reasonable processing time. The proposed software would use the neural network to analyze student errors and provide personalized practice problems and explanations to target their weak areas.

ICT has significantly changed how people socially communicate and meet new people. While technology allows for communication benefits like remote business meetings, some argue it has also made children less social offline. Both adults and children now use social networking to communicate easily. However, overreliance on technology can cause people to lose important in-person communication skills. ICT also introduces potential threats if personal information is shared publicly, as criminals could access and misuse private data for hacking, fraud, or bullying. It is important for users to be aware of privacy and security settings to prevent problems.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
