Day 6: Objectivity and Perspective

Video Being Discussed:

This video showcases a pitbull and a baby bunny together. In this video, the pitbull is observed to be licking the baby bunny, and the bunny appears to be rubbing its head.

Personal Explanation:

It appears that the pitbull is a domestic dog (collar), and it appears to be in an unalert position (laying down). I think the pitbull is being gentle in this video and helping the bunny clean itself due to the fact that the pitbull is domestic and does not seem to be focused on hunting.

My Perspective Bias:

However this viewpoint also seems to be very human. Of course I would like to believe that the pitbull is gentle and friendly, but it would also be useful to take into account other possibilities such as the fact that it may be investigating its prey.

Changes to My Perspective:

The bunny does seem a bit still and startled around the pitbull, but it also is not running away from the pitbull, so I'm unsure if the bunny feels threatened. Although I still believe that the dog does not have aggressive intentions in the video.

Day 9: Visualization and AI Overview

Data Visualization: McDonalds Dashboard I learned how to create a simple dashboard that consisted of sales, charts, and customer satisfactions. With this visualization, users could easily navigate between pages, see raw data compared to visualized data, and have easy access to contact information. With this dashboard data can be more easily understood and more easily analyzed whether it's for company improvement or company stats. What is AI? AI works based on data that it is taught whether it is text from a news outlet or a collection of art pieces. With this data, it can use its taught information to provide responses to prompts or stitch together words or images that correlate with the prompt. This technology can be used to generate all sorts of media whether it's a story, a summary, an image, or art. How Humans Determined Who Would Survive vs Code: Similarly to AI, we were given a set of videos to be our clues/our human "data." Based on these videos, we gat...

Day 11: Dr. Schuman

Guest Speaker: Dr. Schuman Today we got firsthand experience in creating data for a machine learning activity. We visited a site where we were able to feed information through series of pictures of either a facial expression, a hand signal, or certain objects. With this information, our machine was able to learn what traits were associated with certain items through an accumulation of mathematical formulas. Additionally we also got to play with an app that learned from other people's drawings and was able to complete our drawings and portray certain prompts (such as dog, cat, mermaid, lighthouse etc). Overall it was an engaging experience that allowed us to learn about machine learning data and experience collecting data ourselves. Pictured: Training Data of My Classmate
