CSC250 Computers and Human Intelligence.

Overview

Assignments:

• Post your short bio to the D2L Say Hello forum. Respond the three others. Also submit to D2L dropbox.

• Complete the Ambiguity in the English language assignment and post to D2L before the deadline.

• Regularly contribute to your Ideas Files, and submit to D2L before the deadline at the end of the quarter.

• LISP: Run the sample LISP programs. Complete the following LISP AI programs. These will take some thought, but the actual programming is not hard, and I give you much of the code. You do not need a programming background to complete these assignments:

  • You do not need to install and run the emacs editor to complete these small programming assignments. I give you alternative text editors you can use. However, emacs is an extremely powerful editor that runs everywhere, and it is the native environment for LISP. I make it available and give you a quick tour through its use. I also provide links to the Atom editor. In a pinch you can use Notepad (windows) or TextEdit (Mac), but neither of these indents for you, or balances parentheses, so they are very hard to use for programming.

  • Follow the instructions for installing Java and LISP on your machine. I give full directions, but the CDM tutors can also help you with this simple install.

  • Run the sample programs!

  • Complete the Towers of Hanoi assignment: Lots of thought, but only a couple lines of code to modify. For novice programmers 1-2 hours of thought to get it running the first time. Six minutes to get it running the second time.

  • Complete the Neural Network Perceptron Logic Gates assignment. (Requires NN lecture by Elliott based on Bermudez) after reading the Bermudez chapter 5 section on artificial neural networks.

  • Complete the Neural Network Perceptron Toy Face Recognition assignment. (Requires NN lecture by Elliott based on Bermudez)

  • Complete the animal learning program assignment, including the "advanced" adding of intensity (but note this is very easy programming). Complete the optional "very advanced" range of emotions if you are up to it.

• Combined Structured Outline and Scholarly bibliography assignment:

  1. The Fall 2021 content focus area is ethical issues in artificial intelligence.

  2. Review ALL the rules for Structured Outline (SO) creation. Create your SO for the chosen topic.

  3. Review all the steps for the Scholarly bibliography Create your Sources.xml bibliography for the chosen topic.

  4. Follow the instructions to combine the two exercises into one document: a structured outline for an essay on the chosen topic, with an automated bibliography drawn from your Sources.xml file.

  5. Created TWO different versions of your combined SO: one using Chicago Style citations, and one using ISO 690 Numerical citations. You should be able to achieve this transformation easily: Word | References Tab | Citations and Bibliography group | Style dropdown.

  6. Verify your work against the Combined Checklist . Zip together your TWO precisely-named Word (.docx) documents, and your Sources.XML file. Submit to D2L before the deadline.

• Complete the collaborative Story Morphing AI assignment with your peers. All lectures, PowerPoint slides, and the link to the collaborative document are in D2L. You will need a rudimentary understanding of cognitive emotion theory and production rules which will have been covered in previous lectures.

• 75 points. EXTRA CREDIT Complete University IRB Institutional Research Board training for working with human subjects. Submit your completion report as evidence of work completed to D2L. I need the FULL LISTING of the individual modules completed along with your scores. Registration Instructions Note: it is highly unethical for anyone else to help you with this online training. You must complete it yourself. These are the ethical guidlines for working with real people.

  Complete the BASIC COURSE and submit the full report only giving your actual scores for the tests on each of the sub modules (about 17 modules scored by percentage correct). I don't need to see your certificate.
