1) Explain CNN with Diagram and State Its Uses
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a deep learning algorithm primarily used for image-related tasks. It automatically and adaptively learns spatial hierarchies of features from input images.
Key Components of CNN:
Convolutional Layer: Applies filters to extract features like edges, textures, etc.
Activation Function (ReLU): Introduces non-linearity.
Pooling Layer: Reduces spatial dimensions, retaining essential information.
Fully Connected Layer:
Business Intelligence (BI) refers to the technologies, applications, & practices used to collect, integrate, analyze, & present business data. Its main objective is to support better decision-making by providing insights into past, present, & future business operations. Applications of BI: Sales & Marketing – Analyze customer trends & campaign effectiveness. Finance – Assist in budgeting, forecasting, & reporting. Supply Chain – Track inventory & improve logistics.
1) Why Reinforcement Learning? Describe the main elements of a Reinforcement Learning system.
Answer:
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is important because it enables machines to learn optimal behaviors through interaction with their
environment, without needing labeled input/output pairs. It's especially useful in scenarios where the best actions are not immediately
known, such as game playing, robotics, or dynamic pricing.
In RL, the agent gradually learns to take actions that maximize cumulative future...
Hinduism is a way of life
that practitioners stake their lives on
even if it means they must suffer and die.
Central to the Hindu view of life is the karma
Samsara moksha doctrine.
the self, essence, or soul (atman) is reincarnated into the world (samsara cycle)
over and over again
results of action (karma) are reaped in future lives
this process of endless reincarnation is characterized
by suffering (dukkha) the suffering of life itself
the suffering of repeated reincarnations
Samsaric cycle can
Stress is a process whereby an individual perceives and responds to events appraised as overwhelming or threatening to their well-being. It involves both physiological and psychological responses.
Subjective Appraisal: The perception of stress is highly individual. An event considered stressful by one person may not be perceived the same way by another. This appraisal influences the intensity and nature of the stress response.
Is All Stress 'Bad'? Not necessarily. Stress
Modelo do British Film Institute (BFI) O Modelo do BFI é um quadro de análise abrangente que decompõe os media em seis componentes interligadas. Desenvolvido por uma instituição com uma longa história na educação para os media, visa promover uma compreensão holística de como os media funcionam e nos afetam.
Foco: A sua principal força reside na análise detalhada e contextualizada dos media, considerando tanto a sua produção como a sua receção e representação. É particularmente
Evictions have become more frequent and normalized in low-income urban neighborhoods. They are not just a consequence of poverty but also a driver of it. Desmond shows how eviction creates housing instability, disrupts employment and schooling, and contributes to health problems. It disproportionately affects women of color and reveals how the housing market profits from their vulnerability.
Inner-city housing is often characterized by deterioration, overcrowding, and
Secularism
Secularism is the principle of separating government institutions and persons mandated to represent the state from religious institutions and religious dignitaries.
*Key Aspects*
1. *Separation of Church and State*: Secularism advocates for a clear distinction between religious institutions and the state.
2. *Neutrality*: Secular governments aim to remain neutral on matters of religion, ensuring equal treatment of all citizens regardless of their religious beliefs.
3. *Freedom of Religion*
Unit 1.1. Explain the working principle of a thyristor. A thyristor is a four-layer, three-junction semiconductor device that can be used as a switch. It consists of two p-n junctions and operates in four different regions (Forward Blocking, Forward Conducting, Reverse Blocking, and Reverse Conducting). Working Principle: When a small trigger pulse is applied to the gate, it switches the thyristor from the forward blocking state to the forward conducting state, allowing current to flow between
