In this class, you will write about a hobby that you are interested in. This question is designed to get you thinking about hobbies.  Write a 150 word paragraph that answers the following questions: What hobbies are you interested in? Give a specific example of an experience you had with a hobby. (You can write about learning a hobby, a success or challenge with a hobby, a funny story, or anything else!) What would you say to another person to convince them to try your hobby?

Gradient vanishing means the gradient of neural networks during training is too small or too large (unstable) ; therefore, neural networks cannot learn more effectively. Which one is not a method or model to mitigate the gradient vanishing problem in neural networks? 

Private key is just a random number. The public key is mathematically linked to the private key. If currency is transferred, the sender uses a digital signature algorithm to sign the token over to someone else’s address.    It is easy to go from the private key to the public key – but very difficult to go from public to private. A message needs to go from Sender to Receiver Receiver gives the Sender a lock Sender locks the message (ciphertext) and transmits to Receiver Only the Receiver can decrypt because they have the key The lock is (1)_______________ The key to open the lock is (2)__________ (3) ___________ mathematically reveals that the sender has the private key associated with the senders public address. 

________________ is the practice of crafting effective inputs to get desired outputs from large language models like ChatGPT.

Which of the following is the main reason for the decrease in height with the advancement age?

       Ref: modified, Jeong, J. (2021). Identifying Consumer Preferences From User-Generated Content on Amazon. Com by Leveraging Machine Learning. IEEE Access, 9, 147357-147396  The above figure is the structure of memory cell in a hidden layer in _____________ model. This model has an input, hidden, output layers The hidden layer of this model contains a memory cell. The memory cell contains three gates: input gate, forget grate, output gates.  

  (1)_____________ are fundamentally software protocols that allow multiple parties to operate under shared assumptions and data without trusting each other. These data can be anything, such as location and destination information of items in a supply chain or account balances of a token  Updates are packaged into “blocks” and are “chained” together cryptographically to allow an audit of the prior history, hence the name  Every block contains a hashed reference to the block before it so you can trace every transaction all the way back to genesis block Last line (hash) is repeated as the first line in the next block. This is why it is called “chain”.  (2)__________ group the current transactions together and take a hash of the transactions plus an arbitrary number – called a “nonce”. The work required to find the hash to so many leading zeros is so difficult that it makes is highly improbable that any hacker or nation-state could change a historical block and rewrite all history after that block.

Please match each task with its appropriate loss function in deep learning.

Deep learning method learns its weights through A._________________ during the optimization. Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and Adam methods are widely used for this process. 

Write a 1,500 word essay in which you answer your line of inquiry. You will be assessed on how you construct a focused, analytical argument examining the work from a broad literary or linguistic perspective. Adhere to formal framework of an academic essay, using citations and references. The Criteria are as follows: Criterion A: Understanding and interpretation • How well does the candidate demonstrate an understanding of the text and draw reasoned conclusions from implications in it? • How well are ideas supported by references to the text? Criterion B: Analysis and evaluation • To what extent does the candidate analyse and evaluate how textual features and/or authorial choices shape meaning? Criterion C: Focus and organization • How well organized, coherent and focused is the presentation of ideas? Criterion D: Language • How clear, varied and accurate is the language? • How appropriate is the choice of register and style? (“Register” refers, in this context, to the candidate’s use of elements such as vocabulary, tone, sentence structure and terminology appropriate to the analysis).
