An excellent overview paper on Deep Learning was published in the Nature. The 

authors, Yann LeCun, Yoshua Bengio, and Geoffrey Hinton, are pioneers and leading scientists 

in Deep Learning field.  Yann LeCun, Yoshua Bengio, and Geoffrey Hinton. “Deep learning.”, Nature 521.7553, 436-444. (2015)

You can access the paper through 

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v521/n7553/full/nature14539.html 

Read the paper and answer the following questions. Do not just write down (copy and paste) the contents of the paper. You should write in your own understanding.You can focus on sections of “Convolutional neural networks” and “Image understanding with 

deep convolutional networks”. 

1. What is the role of Convolutional layer?

2. Why do we need more than one filer?

3. What is the role of pooling layer?

4. How local combinations of edges, motifs, parts, objects are related in a hierarchy of 

features?

I recently purchased an AMD processor for my old laptop.

Someone told me that I should buy a new Intel processorr. That question is what is the difference between AMD and Intel. Is the Intel processor better?

 Corporate culture is taking a serious look at how they promote diversity and inclusion.  Research the internet about the corporate cultures of three leading technology  companies (example in Figure 1.27 of your text). Compare each statement of values  and describe the type of employees you think each company is desires. Analyze their  approach toward diversity. Instructions: • Provide a comparative analysis of all three organizations you observed.  • When you analyze their statements, try to see if they reflect the diversity. If not,  explain your recommendations to those organizations to be more diverse and  inclusive, keeping in mind the position of a system analyst and the key attributes  to make someone successful in this position. Requirements: • Submit a Word document in APA format. • At least two double-spaced pages in length, excluding reference page(s). No  cover page necessary. • At least two resources 

You must have 10 external scholarly citations within the submission.

Software-defined networking (SDN) and intent-based networking (IBN) offer an ability to revolutionize the modern network architecture. Both of these concepts are relatively new, and your chief technology officer (CTO) has only heard them in passing. In fact, she pawned them off as the new “marketing fad” dressed up as a new concept. Since you have researched both technologies, you understand this is not a fad. When used in combination with virtualization and cloud computing, you know SDN and IBN could revolutionize how the organization operates, providing for reduced costs, efficiency, better management of the network assets, and security. 

However, you need to develop an indepth white paper for the Caduceus CTO to highlight these benefits. Given the CTO has only heard the term in passing, you must describe in this white paper, the SDN and IBN concepts, their benefits, and what it would take for the organization to implement.

Forming Your Teams

In addition to submitting your individual white paper here in Assignment 3, you will also begin to work with your team for the upcoming collaborative projects (Assignments 4 and 5).  You should meet your team, brainstorm ideas for your white paper together, and begin planning your upcoming work.

Writing Your Paper

After you introduce yourself to your team and brainstorm ideas for this assignment, refer to the SDN and IBN Assignment Resources for more details about Caduceus and download the assignment template.

In your white paper, use additional sources of information but also describe the concept in layman’s terms. Use visuals where appropriate. Describe how an SDN/IBN architecture would look different than network architectures we have traditionally deployed. Compare and contrast the network architectures and discuss the pros and cons of each.

The paper should include the following sections:

• introduction to software-defined networking (SDN) (discussed in Week 3)
• introduction to intent-based networking (IBN) (discussed in Week 4)
• discussion on how virtualizing the desktop and now back-end infrastructure are complementary and related
• discussion of how SDN and IBN are related

refer to the attached documnets.

Journal Article: Smart Factories

Your submission must include the following information in the following format: 

DEFINITION: a brief definition of the key term – (the definition should come from the article) 

SUMMARY: Summarize the article in your own words- this should be in the 150-word range. Be sure to note the article’s author, note their credentials and why we should put any weight behind his/her opinions, research, or findings regarding the key term. 

DISCUSSION: Using 300-words, write a brief discussion, in your own words of how the article relates to the selected key term. A discussion is not rehashing what was already stated in the article, but the opportunity for you to add value by sharing your experiences, thoughts, and opinions. This is the most important part of the assignment. 

REFERENCE: The source for the analysis must be listed at the bottom of the submission – APA format required. Use only peer-reviewed journal articles for these assignments. Refrain from using blogs, .com’s, or other unreliable internet sources. Be sure to use the headers (Definition, Summary, Discussion, Reference) in your submission to ensure that all aspects of the assignment are completed as required. Any form of plagiarism, including cutting and pasting, will result in zero points for the entire assignment. Further, any flagged documents will result in zero points for the assignment. Flagged documents mean that an attempt at plagiarism exists, or manipulation of the Turnitin process has been attempted. This is unacceptable conduct and will not be tolerated.
