For this Discussion Question, complete the following (350 words)

1.  Read the two articles below that discuss why fuel prices fluctuate. Research two of these types further.  

Article 1: https://www.forbes.com/sites/eco-nomics/2012/03/05/five-reasons-gas-prices-rise/#6f9a838d1e02

Article 2: https://www.csmonitor.com/Environment/2014/1031/Why-do-gas-prices-rise-and-fall-5-driving-factors/Oil-A-volatile-commodity

2. Locate two JOURNAL articles that discuss this topic further. You need to focus on the Abstract, Introduction, Results, and Conclusion. For our purposes, you are not expected to fully understand the Data and Methodology.  

3. Summarize these journal articles. Please use your own words. No copy-and-paste. Cite your sources.

2) Replies 2 each 150 words 

Class Discussion Topics

1. Discuss the conditions necessary for a deadlock to occur. If given the option of removing one condition to prevent deadlock, which condition would you eliminate? Why?

2. Discuss different deadlock handling strategies. Which strategies would you like to implement to remove deadlocks in the cases of disk sharing, database sharing, and multiple device allocation? Select a suitable strategy in each case and provide reasons for your choices.

Week 8 (Annotated Bibliography)

Project – Annotated Bibliography
 

This is Part II of 4 towards the Final Project.
 

Using APA format, find at least 10 peer-reviewed sources (from industry articles, journals, academic and professional textbooks, and case studies) which will support your selected and pre-approved Research Paper Topic . Include them as references in APA format, write a summary of each article considered. At the end of your summary indicate the usefulness of the article in support of your Final Project Paper.
 

Remember, that within this Final Project Paper you will need to cite from each and every source in your references. You may not use Wikipedia or Webopedia as a reference.
 

The Final Project must be a research paper using statistical techniques that has been approved by the instructor, using knowledge gained in the course. 

 You have been asked by the CIO of the company to justify a need for RCSA policies. What approaches would you use to plan for threats and events that could potentially cause disruptions? Discuss your four reasons why organizations need risk and control self-assessment (RCSA) policies. Explain your answers 

 Discussion: List and briefly describe the nine-step process in con-ducting a neural network project. 

Questions: 

 1.What is deep learning? What can deep learning do that the traditional machine-learning method cannot?. 

2. List and briefly explain different learning paradigms/ methods in AI. 

3. What is representation learning, and how does it relate to machine learning and deep learning? 

4. List and briefly describe the most commonly used ANN activation functions. 

5. What is MLP, and how does it work? Explain the function of summation and activation weights in MLP-type ANN. 

Exercise:  Cognitive computing has become a popular term to define and characterize the extent of the ability of machines/ computers to show “intelligent” behavior. Thanks to IBM  Watson and its success on Jeopardy!, cognitive computing and cognitive analytics are now part of many real-world intelligent systems. In this exercise, identify at least three application cases where cognitive computing was used to solve complex real-world problems. Summarize your findings in a professionally organized report. 

I attached the format of the report, follow the guidelines 

Research project manager’s positions and please post the following. Please do not copy and paste from web sites.

1. Find three different job postings in the area you live in for a Project Manager. What are the items in the three job ads that are the same? Are there any major differences? Also, look up how much a project manager earns in your area. 
2. In your opinion was any of the information that you uncovered in your search interesting or surprising?

Internet Research – WK 6

Go online and search for information about companies that have been harmed or bankrupted by a disaster. Choose one such company and create a brief case study about it. Successful narratives will focus on the manner in which the organization was impacted, including financial losses, losses of sales, or the need for layoffs. Your assignment should be 3-4 paragraphs in length.

Machine Learning Course Project 

 This course project is an opportunity for you to explore a machine learning problem of your choice. 

 There are many datasets out there. UC Irvine has a repository that could be useful for you project:

Project guideline

**Classifier Implementation 

Implement a classifier or classification algorithm. It can be any classification algorithms we learned or have not learned in the class. 

1. Project Proposal should be 1 page long and Include the following information: 

-Project title; 

-The name of classifier or classification algorithm that you will implement; 

-The programming language you will use; 

-The format of training data you will use, i.e., the source of data set, the attributes’ types, the range of attributes’ values, the size of training set, etc. 

2. Project Report should be maximally 8 pages long and be written by using this link( https://nips.cc/Conferences/2020/PaperInformation/StyleFiles) 

and Include the following information: 

-Abstract 

-The description of implementation process, such as flowchart, functions, pseudocode, or partial codes;

-The description about 1) using training set to build the classifier, and 2) applying the classifier on a small amount of test instances. That is to show how your classifier works, as well as the training errors and test errors. 

-Conclusion 

3. Presentation (10 ~ 20 pages)

-Explain the source code files; 

-Present how your classifier works; 

-Evaluate your classifier.
