The Role of Deep Learning in Artificial Intelligence: Essential or Optional?

Posted on by Haptic

The earliest artificial neural network, the Perceptron, was introduced approximately 65 years ago and consisted of just one layer.  However, to address solutions for more complex classification tasks, more advanced neural network architectures consisting of numerous feedforward (consecutive) layers were later introduced. This is the essential component of the current implementation of deep learning algorithms. Read more about The Role of Deep Learning in Artificial Intelligence: Essential or Optional?[…]

Wishing for more self-control can lead to better self-control

Posted on by Haptic

Self-control significantly affects well-being and objective success in life. Although many agree that a high degree of self-control is beneficial, helping people develop more self-control is a tricky challenge.

Being alone and socializing with others each contributes differently to personal growth. Findings from a new Bar-Ilan University study reveal the intricacies of people’s experiences in these basic social conditions. The study used a unique approach of analyzing self-generated text from more than 1,700 participants who performed a sentence-completion task regarding their experience alone and Read more about How do people experience time alone and time with others?[…]
