Developed by John McCarthy, MIT, in the late 1950s the original idea was to implement a language based on mathematical functions that McCarthy was using to model problem solving. A grad student implemented the first interpreter, and it was quickly
Fixing the Broken Education System
Purpose of Education Education is about skills and (exposure to) ideas. The MIT way of education is to build models. In all departments the default approach is to build models that allow us to understand the world and control the
Elaborating Scalability requirements of Large Scale Systems through Goal Obstacle Analysis
In 1993, The London Ambulance service faced a critical failure. The cause was increased call traffic load, that prevented the system from maintaining location information about the ambulance units triggering a large number of exception messages. LAS’s failure to
An introduction to Federated Learning of privacy-preserving Machine Learning
I complied following notes to understand the fundamentals of federated learning: Most current data mining and machine learning techniques (like process mining) work by gathering all datasets into a central site, then running various algorithms against that data. In most
Understanding Generalisation in Machine Learning
“A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measureP, if its performance at tasks in T, as measured by P, improves with experience E.” In Supervised machine learning
Explainable AI and AI-Alignment
It is increasingly becoming important that AI-based decision support systems (which leverage machine learning methods) must be able to explain the reasoning behind their decisions, recommendations, predictions, or actions taken. Explainability is not just a nice-to-have property but is also
Three Pillers of Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement Learning is about learning to make good decisions under uncertainty. It's based on the reward Hypothesis which says: That all of what we mean by goals and purposes can be well thought of as maximization of the
Digital Tranformation of Healthcare
For the past several decades the healthcare industry has been relying on manual paper-based methods for information management. Now we are entering a new era of automatic patient monitoring, smart hospitals and smart homes where services based on cloud computing
