Disinformation spreads for political and financial gain using bots, fake accounts and doctored content, undermining trust and democracy. Hate speech and cyberbullying on platforms can seriously impact mental health.
Future of Information Ethics.pptx
The document discusses several issues relating to the future of information ethics, including privacy, surveillance, algorithmic bias, intellectual property, globalization, and augmentation. Specifically, it addresses the need for individuals to have control over their personal data and consent to its use (privacy), the debate around balancing privacy rights with security interests behind surveillance practices, how algorithms can perpetuate inequality if not designed carefully, balancing copyright with open-source licensing, challenges of cross-border data flows, and both current and future ethical challenges relating to new technologies.
Bioethics.pptx
Bioethics examines ethical issues arising from advances in biology and medicine. It focuses on topics like abortion, euthanasia, genetic testing, and human experimentation. Bioethics also explores the duties of health professionals and aims to protect vulnerable groups. It provides a framework for complex moral issues in healthcare. Key events in bioethics history include the first test-tube baby in 1978 and gene-edited children in 2018. U.S. laws like HIPAA and the Common Rule aim to protect privacy and informed consent while international guidelines promote human dignity. Autonomy, beneficence, and justice are important principles in bioethical decision making.
Surveillance and security.pptx
This document discusses the ethics of surveillance and security. It covers various ethical approaches, security concepts, types of surveillance, hacking techniques, legal frameworks, privacy concepts, stakeholders, social factors, and ethical dilemmas related to information security and privacy. Key topics include utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics, rights-based ethics, social contract theory, encryption, firewalls, intrusion detection, authentication, CCTV, data mining, internet monitoring, wiretapping, facial recognition, penetration testing, social engineering, phishing, vulnerability assessments, GDPR, CFAA, FISMA, the right to be forgotten, consent decrees, anonymity, data minimization, opt-in vs opt-out, information lifec
Introduction to Expert Systems.pptx
The document describes 4 different expert systems proposed by different teams to identify the author of an email. Each system analyzes word frequency, keyword frequency, and part-of-speech patterns after keywords in known and questioned texts to determine the author. The systems compare feature vectors representing writing style extracted from the texts to identify or verify the author.
Starbuck.pptx
The police collected 4 datasets of emails - 2 from Debbie before and after marriage, 1 from Jamie, and 1 large reference collection. They analyzed the datasets using linguistic analysis of word frequencies, keywords that occur more than expected, and patterns around keywords. Comparing these linguistic features across the datasets could determine if the same person wrote the questioned and known datasets.
Unit 4 Problem breakdown.pptx
The document discusses using an expert system to analyze linguistic patterns in written documents. It describes using an expert system to analyze a threatening email and other emails from a suspect's computer to identify similarities in word frequencies, keywords, and keyword order that could indicate the suspect authored the threatening email. The system would analyze the questioned, known, and reference documents to generate shared word frequency, keyword frequency, and keyword positional lists to help determine authorship.
Image_recognition.pptx
Barcodes and image recognition technology are examples of machine-readable representations of data. Barcodes use a pattern of bars and spaces that can be read by optical scanners to identify numbers and letters. Image recognition allows computers to identify objects in images through techniques like deep learning, which automatically extracts features from image data. Face recognition is a type of image recognition that extracts features from facial images and compares them to identify individuals, using algorithms like ResNet that represent faces as vectors and compare their Euclidean distances.
Algorithms.pptx
There are many sorting algorithms that can sort a list of numbers in ascending or descending order. Some common sorting algorithms include bubble sort, merge sort, and quicksort. Bubble sort has a computational complexity of O(n2) while merge sort and quicksort have better complexities of O(n log n). Stack and queue are abstract data types - stack follows LIFO (Last In First Out) while queue follows FIFO (First In First Out). Stack adds and removes elements from the top of the data structure, while queue adds to the tail and removes from the head.
Artificial_intelligence.pptx
Edge AI allows devices like self-driving cars to make decisions immediately using on-device processing rather than cloud-based processing, which introduces latency. Edge AI processes data and inferences locally on IoT and sensor devices. This enables applications like self-driving cars using computer vision to detect humans and stop in real-time. While Edge AI provides benefits like lower latency, security, and data privacy, it also faces limitations in processing power and operational complexity compared to cloud-based AI.
Image_generation.pptx
The document describes how to generate and review images using machine learning. To generate images, a model learns from original images, searches topics to generate new images on, and iterates generating and scoring images until a threshold is passed. To review generated images, both input and generated images are disassembled into pixels, quantified by color, analyzed for tendencies, which are then compared between input and generated images to find the generated image most similar to the original tendencies.
Computer_Graphics.pptx
Computer graphics refers to images and figures created using a computer. There are two main types: 2D computer graphics, which are two-dimensional images, and 3D computer graphics, which create three-dimensional virtual spaces and objects. Creating 3D computer graphics involves several steps: modeling virtual objects, adding textures, rigging for movement, lighting, animation, and rendering to convert the 3D scene to a 2D image. A challenge with creating realistic human figures with 3D computer graphics is the "uncanny valley" effect, where figures that are almost but not perfectly realistic can appear creepy. Advances in technology now allow for highly realistic 3D computer graphics that avoid this effect.
Security.pptx
The document discusses information security and protecting personal information. It defines information security as ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. Confidentiality means only authorized individuals can access information. Integrity means information has not been altered or destroyed. Availability means authorized individuals have access to information when needed without interruption. Security measures help protect against potential harm from others by restricting what others can do. However, security has weaknesses that can be exploited.
Gravitational_wave_detection.pptx
Gravitational wave detection and denoising algorithm uses machine learning to classify and filter noise from gravitational wave data. There are 22 main types of noise that can be identified using supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms. Unsupervised learning allows the computer to classify noise types on its own by finding inherent groupings or clusters in the data, while supervised learning uses labeled examples to efficiently perform classifications. The proposed method uses a variational autoencoder and invariant information clustering to learn features from spectrogram images of transient noise and then classify the noise types based on the learned features.
Embedded_Systems.pptx
This document discusses key considerations for designing real-time embedded systems to ensure predictability and avoid failure. It identifies four main problems: whether the architecture is suitable, if link speeds are adequate, if processing components are powerful enough, and if the operating system is suitable. For each problem, it provides details on how to evaluate them and ensure real-time requirements are met, such as keeping CPU and link utilization below 50% and using an RTOS with preemptive scheduling and low interrupt latency and scheduling variance.

Python is the most widely used programming language in the world due to its simple syntax, wide platform support, and ease of use. It can be learned by both professionals and students. A survey by Stack Overflow found incredible growth in the number of visitors to Python questions on the site. Lisp is one of the oldest high-level programming languages still in use, known for its extensive use of parentheses in code. It was influential in the development of artificial intelligence. R is a programming language and software environment for statistical analysis and graphics. It provides many statistical and graphical techniques and is highly extensible.

Quantum computers can solve problems in hours that would take classical computers over 100 million years by leveraging the quantum state of superposition where multiple states exist simultaneously. Specifically, quantum computers could crack RSA encryption, which normally takes over 100 million years on classical computers, in just a few hours by applying this quantum superposition property.
NLP.pptx
Neural networks like artificial neural networks (ANNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks are commonly used in machine translation systems. ANNs mimic the human brain by recognizing relationships in vast amounts of data, similar to neural connections in the brain. The field of machine translation began in the 1950s with rule-based machine translation (RBMT) relying on linguistic rules and dictionaries. Statistical machine translation (SMT) developed in the late 1970s and analyzed existing human translations. More recently, neural machine translation (NMT) introduced in the last decade learns from each translation to improve. LSTM is a type of RNN with feedback connections that can process entire sequences of data over time and is well-suited for classifying
Sensors_SLAM.pptx
SLAM is a technology that uses sensors to allow objects like vehicles to simultaneously map their environment and locate themselves within it. It utilizes sensors such as LiDAR and cameras to create maps without relying on GPS. LiDAR SLAM is particularly accurate and commonly used for automated driving as LiDAR can measure distance and shape using reflected laser time.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
