Eigenfaces
Eigenfaces are a set of eigenvectors used in the computer vision problem of human face recognition. The approach of using eigenfaces for recognition was developed by Sirovich and Kirby (1987) and used by Matthew Turk and Alex Pentland in face classification. It is considered the first successful example of facial recognition technology.These eigenvectors are derived from the covariance matrix of the probability distribution of the high-dimensional vector space of possible faces of human beings.

surveillance model: is built upon visual metaphors and derives from historical experiences of secret police surveillance

capture model: is built upon linguistic metaphors and takes as its prototype the deliberate reorganization of industrial work activities to allow computers to track them [the work activities] in real time.

Lawrence Lessig
Lawrence Lessig (born June 3, 1961) is an American academic. He is a professor of law at Stanford Law School and founder of its Center for Internet and Society. Lessig founded Creative Commons and is a board member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and of the Software Freedom Law Center. He is best known as a proponent of reduced legal restrictions on copyright, trademark and radio frequency spectrum, particularly in technology applications.
He saids "I am arguing that a kind of inefficiency should be built into these emerging technologies - an inefficiency that makes it harder for these technologies to be misused. And of course it is hard to argue that we ought to build in features of the architecture of cyberspace that will make it more difficult for government to do its work. It is hard to argue that less is more."
But though hard, this is not an argument unknown in the history of constitutional democracies. Indeed, it is the core of much of the design of many of the most successful constitutional democracies - that we build into such constitutions structures of restraint, that will check, and limit the efficiency of government, to protect against the tyranny of government.

Data mining
Data mining is the process of sorting through large amounts of data and picking out relevant information. It is usually used by business intelligence organizations, and financial analysts, but is increasingly being used in the sciences to extract information from the enormous data sets generated by modern experimental and observational methods. It has been described as "the nontrivial extraction of implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful information from data" and "the science of extracting useful information from large data sets or databases". Data mining in relation to Enterprise Resource Planning is the statistical and logical analysis of large sets of transaction data, looking for patterns that can aid decision making.

Business
Data mining in customer relationship management applications can contribute significantly to the bottom line. Rather than contacting a prospect or customer through a call center or sending mail, only prospects that are predicted to have a high likelihood of responding to an offer are contacted. More sophisticated methods may be used to optimize across campaigns so that we can predict which channel and which offer an individual is most likely to respond to - across all potential offers. Finally, in cases where many people will take an action without an offer, uplift modeling can be used to determine which people will have the greatest increase in responding if given an offer. Data clustering can also be used to automatically discover the segments or groups within a customer data set.

Donna Haraway
Cyborg theory was created by Donna Haraway in order to criticize traditional notions of feminism -- particularly its strong emphasis on identity, rather than affinity. She uses the metaphor of a cyborg in order to construct a postmoder feminism that moves beyond dualisms and moves beyond the limitations of traditional gender, feminism, and politics.
Donna Haraway's cyborg is an attempt to break away from Oedipal narratives and Christian origins doctrines like Genesis. In the Cyborg Manifesto, she writes: "The cyborg does not dream of community on the model of the organic family, this time without the oedipal project. The cyborg would not recognize the Garden of Eden; it is not made of mud and cannot dream of returning to dust."
The concept of the cyborg is a rejection of rigid boundaries, notably those separating "human" from "animal" and "human" from "machine." Cyborg theory thus asserts that technology, as the artifacts of cultural evolution, merely comprise material extensions of the material human body.This view follows from John Locke's logical justification for property rights, in that "mixing one's labor" with external natural materials internalizes them and affords those materials the same rights as one's body itself.

Cyborg
A cyborg is a cybernetic organism (i.e., an organism that has both artificial and natural systems). The term was coined in 1960 when Manfred Clynes and Nathan Kline used it in an article about the advantages of self-regulating human-machine systems in outer space. D. S. Halacy's Cyborg: Evolution of the Superman in 1965 featured an introduction by Manfred Clynes, who wrote of a "new frontier" that was "not merely space, but more profoundly the relationship between 'inner space' to 'outer space' -a bridge...between mind and matter." The cyborg is often seen today merely as an organism that has enhanced abilities due to technologybut this perhaps oversimplifies the category of feedback.
Fictional cyborgs are portrayed as a synthesis of organic and synthetic parts, and frequently pose the question of difference between human and machine as one concerned with morality, free will, and empathy. Fictional cyborgs may be represented as visibly mechanical (e.g. the Borg in the franchise); or as almost indistinguishable from humans (e.g. the "Human" Cylons from the re-imagining of Battlestar Galactica). These fictional portrayals often register our society's discomfort with its seemingly increasing reliance upon technology, particularly when used for war, and when used in ways that seem to threaten free will. They also often have abilities, physical or mental, far in advance of their human counterparts (military forms may have inbuilt weapons, amongst other things). Real cyborgs are more frequently people who use cybernetic technology to repair or overcome the physical and mental constraints of their bodies. While cyborgs are commonly thought of as mammals, they can be any kind of organism.

Individual cyborg
Today, the C-LEG system is used to replace human legs that were amputated because of injury or illness. The use of sensors in the artificial leg aids in walking significantly. These may possibly be the first real steps towards the next generation of cyborgs.
Additionally cochlear implants and magnetic implants which provide people with a sense that they would not otherwise have had can additionally be thought of as creating cyborgs.
In 2002,under the heading Project Cyborg, a British scientist, Kevin Warwick, had an array of 100 electrodes fired in to his nervous system in order to link his nervous system into the internet. With this in place he successfully carried out a series of experiments including extending his nervous system over the internet to control a robotic hand, a form of extended sensory input and the first direct electronic communication between the nervous systems of two humans.

MY OPINION
This week learned about cyborg .
Because of English class way, it was difficult to understand so Very confused .
By the way, time just in time, professor showed animation about cyborg and same reflex etc..
So, I could converge, and could class interestingly.
Technic people develop gradually, and is useful .
Movie such as Aieonmaen that open nowadays or is I robot comes thoroughly,cyborg's age may come on the future that is not far.

4.30/ 5.2 Computer-Aided

Computer-Aided
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is the use of computer technology to aid in the design of a product, particularly the drafting of a part or the product—a part visual (drawing) and part symbol method of communications particular to a specific technical field. It is in origination, the use of computers to aid the art of drafting—the integral communications of technical drawings — which for a three dimensional object are typically represented by three projected views at right angles —drafting is the Industrial arts sub-discipline which underlies all involved technical endeavors. Current CAD software packages range from 2D vector base drafting systems to 3D solid and surface modellers. Modern CAD packages can also frequently allow rotations in three dimensions, allowing viewing of a designed object from any desired angle, even from the inside looking out. Some CAD software is capable of dynamic mathematic modeling, in which case it may be marketed as CAD.
Architecture is the art and science of designing and constructing buildings and other physical structures. A wider definition often includes the design of the total built environment, from the macro level of how a building integrates with its surrounding manmade landscape (see town planning, urban design, and landscape architecture) to the micro level of architectural or construction details and, sometimes, furniture. The term "Architecture" is also used for the profession of providing architectural services.
Architects are primarily driven by the creative manipulation of mass, space, volume, texture, light, shadow, materials, program, and pragmatic elements such as cost, construction and technology, in order to achieve an end which is aesthetic, functional and often artistic. This distinguishes architecture from engineering design, which is driven primarily by the creative manipulation of materials and forms using mathematical and scientific principles.



MY OPINION
It is so fine these day.So, became becomes lazy and lazy whether is.Must pay attention fast and take part hard in period.
In fact, because of project, did not sleep during 3 day.So, was confused, and tired.
Professor is sorry.Really sorry .........ㅠㅠ

artificial intelligence 4.9and 4.11

This week Subject -artificial intelligence
Who is Alan Turing?" and "What is artifical intelligence?"
This means the intelligence to be made by the system.
The intelligence is difficult to define the thing accurately. Many opinions exist therefore about the artificial intelligence.The founder of the artificial intelligence is first Alan Turing.He introduced an imitation game which uses the computer.he tries to prove the intelligence of the computer through this; the supposition which the intelligence exists the computer can deceive the human"Can the computer think?"There is thing we think about this.Such artificial intelligence was studied in various field.The key point is finally the application of the programming.This the study is to say possible programming.it has the example of GPS.This shows the limit with the possibility at same time.
A.I···This is the story of the kid robot which the love is programing.Philosophical sense of values which the professor says about the human and robot are considerably interesting.The content of the movie is robot wants the love which the human rejects.The content to be philosophical such to science and engineering students is very interesting.They are because students can make the eye-sight.
comments.
I think possibility about the artificial intelligence. Possibility of Artificial Intelligence seems to be infinite.Is thought that can make much more useful and excellent robot than robots that turn to AI that aid to mankind if take advantage of Artificial Intelligence well just.

4.2,4 Assignment

In this week learned social networks.
There are two keypoints to this week.
Fist, new media technologies usually reinforce existing social networks or even work to isolate people.
Second, when new media technologies facilitate new social networks, they simultaneously challenge existing social, political and economic relationships.
social network analysis is an interdisciplinary social science, but has been of especial concern to sociologists. Social network analysis involves theorizing, model building and empirical research focused on uncovering the patterning of links among actors. It is concerned also with uncovering the antecedents and consequences of recurrent patterns. And we saw social networks' history. Social networks spread email,newsgroups, and weblogs.Also, we circumference.For example, kevin bacon was made bacon numbers. Bacon number is that I and he/she's relation.

Learned about social networks which increase in this week.
Cyworld can meet people who know waves in other side two, three times these day.
So, I was thought that important and also careful internet use of formality in Internet or private life management is required.

people make media and then media make people.
then, they interact to each other
because the development of technology can control human relationship.

Who is Tim berners-Lee?
he's eucation: b.a,physics,queen's college,oxford university
employment: senior research scientist,laboratory for computer science and 3com founders chair,ICS,mit; and, director of the world wide web consortium
software engineer,cern,the european particle physics laboratory in geneva,switzerland.

What is www(world wide web)? The answer is a collaboratively authored hypertext and standard and heterogeneous network of people and machines.- motivation of research address. WWW was developed to be a pool of human knowledge, which would allow collaborators in remote sites to share their ideas.

Who influeenced the www standards?- IOS: international standards organization.- IETF: internet engineering task force.- RCF: request for comments.

URI: universal resource identifier. examples uri(ssu name), urn(persistenr location:declare) *protocol: http, ftp, mailto scheme: path(server/directory/file after) urn: in a specipic name, a specipic resource.
HTML: hypertext markup language -sgml was created by charles goldfarb and other originally as an ibm project on integrated law office information systems.http: hypertext transfer protocol -http is an internet protocol designed for transferring information for hypertext docoments.

lisa jevbatt - how the Web has "moved" over the last few years. The other four interfaces show the two databases in parallel.
mark napier - The web is not a publication. Web sites are not paper. Yet the current thinking of web design is that of the magazine, newspaper,book,or catalog.Visually, aesthetically,legally,the web is treated as a physical page upon which text and images are wtitten.

-
That study in this lesson was easy on the whole to understand.
Because internet, it is because it was retired lives this to me such as WWW
But, is high wall of English still
It is difficult to understand class contents perfectly.
Also, it is assignment must solve still.
Body state that give this time did not go other class being bad.
Worst a week was.
Take a rest during weekend and next week must spend supreme a week.
When cheer up ~ !

Teaching condensation and my opinion

This week..I study about the "HyperText".
Hypertext is one way that digital technique has been understood is new form of it reads and it is write and it thinks. Hypertext is the way digital media has been understood. and I study them through example of Engelbart.
Engelbart is consisted with the computer mouse, hypertext, object addressing and dynamicfile linking, shared-screen collaboration, communicating over a network with audio and video interface.
And they became the public debut by Engelbart. So mouse, windows, e-mail, and word processor have root in them. It is very amazing. Engelbart is a unique person. Computer development is important role. His thought was foundation of the network.
And Tristan Tzara wrote his poem, cut out article, cut the words that make up article and put them, take the articles one after the other in the order in which they left there. Standard computer-human interaction of the 1960's was batch processing.

This week I study it...there was more detail of story as well by the way this weeks is english class l can't understand of something so l could miss them...so i realized i need more practice before when class start thank you for reading have a good day .
