A neuron consists of input nodes x1 to xn and weights w1 to wn, a linear combiner v= SUM( $ xi * wi $) + b, where b is some bias. The result v is called local field and is used as input for an acivation function $ phi(v) $
Mathematical model of a neuron consists of a set of synapses or connecting links where each link is characterized by a weight, an adder function (linear combiner), which computes the weighted sum (local field) of the inputs plus some bias and an activation function (squashing function) for limiting the amplitude of a neuron’s output.

Consider the following scenario: You are browsing the web for a very specific and important piece of information. However, you are not quite sure how to find it and adopt an iterative process of refining your query after every search, depending on the shown results and a skim of the first few websites. Is it better to use a connection-oriented or connectionless service for your communication in this scenario? Explain your answer in 1-4 sentences.
Because we are browsing for a very specific and important piece of information it is better to go with connection-oriented service because it "guarantees" that all data packets are received in the same order as those sent by the sender which isn't necessarily the case with connection less service and therefore wouldn't be reliable
Connectionless, because you will communicate with various partners (websites) for short periods of time. If you would initiate a connection with every website you skim, that would incur a lot of overhead in the connecting and disconnecting phase, just to have very short data transfers.

When you build a series circuit using 2 bulbs and one D-cell, the bulbs are very dim. When you build a parallel circuit with 2 bulbs and one D-cell, the bulbs are bright. Why are the bulbs dim in series and bright in parallel?
They are dim in series because it takes up more electricity than the parallel.
In series, the 2 bulbs have to share one pathway, so the light is dim. In parallel each bulb has a direct path to the D-cell energy source so both bulbs shine brightly.

Back propogation usually occurs in a multi layer perceptron. It uses a non linear activation function. Basic elements: 1. Functional signals: These are the input signals, which passes through the network from left to right. As the name denotes it performs a usefull function at the output of the neuron and another reason for the name is that the functional signals are calculated based on the parameters and the activation function. 2. Error signals: Error signals propogate usually in the reverse direction which contains the error based on the desired output. It consists of 2 phases: 1. Forward phase: In the forward phase the signals propogate from left to right. Weights are fixed and passes through all the layers of the network, that is undergo all the activation. 2. Reverse phase: In the reverse phase, the local gradients are calcualted and are propogated through in the backward direction. Here weights change.
Backpropagation lowers the error of a MLP level by level recursively backwards. It back propagates an error from the last layer to the first layer by updating the weights. The updates are determined by the local gradient at each level which is computed by partial derivatives of the error and chain rule.

When defining a recursive function, what are possible causes for infinite recursion?
If the recursion function never reaches or successfully defines the base case it will recurse forever.This happens many ways, such as the function doesn't progress towards the base case, or the function is coded poorly and doesn't even contain a base case.
If the recursion step is defined incorrectly, or if the base case is not included.

Is it better to use a connection-oriented or connectionless service for your communication in this scenario? Explain your answer in 1-4 sentences.
A connection-orientated service would be better because it saves some bandwidth in this specific case (multiple messages being transmitted between the same two parties). With only a single message transmitted, the overhead would be too large. But in this case it seems to be the better approach since only one connection establishment with the search engine is needed.
Connectionless, because you will communicate with various partners (websites) for short periods of time. If you would initiate a connection with every website you skim, that would incur a lot of overhead in the connecting and disconnecting phase, just to have very short data transfers.

Anne is investigating which objects stick to magnets. She recorded this in her notebook. I was surprised! A nail was stuck to the magnet. When I accidentally touched the nail to a paperclip, the paperclip stuck to the nail. If Anne touched the nail to a brass ring, what do you think would happen and why?
If Anne touched the nail to a brass ring it will stick to the nail just like the paperclip did.
The brass ring would not stick to the nail because the ring is not iron. The nail is a temporary magnet, but brass cannot become a temporary magnet and thus does not stick to magnets.

If the question is Knowledge-Based, I will do the following: I can assume the question as a query. Because of having a very large text: Firstly, I would segment these texts to shorter passages like paragraphs. Then, I would build semantic representations to the query such as locations, dates, times, entities, numeric forms/quantities. At last, In order to determine the semantic relation between the question and passages, I would map these semantic representations between query and passages, using WordNet like lexical databases. In that way, I can find the most relevant text.
We need to do some extractions like answering. I mean, let's assume our question is "Who is Ada Lovelace?" or "Atatürk, is alive or not?". Firstly, we need to do classification our answers. Then we need to do to obtain keywords, normalizing, tokenizing etc which will from Query Frame. We can say if our question begins with Who-Whom , we can assume answer will be PERSON, And if it begin with Where, it should be LOCATION. Now, let's go back to our question. Answer type will be person and "ada lovelace" our token. or another question. Answer type: Yes/No . tokens= "atatürk" "alive" We can searching in our corpus, for our tokens. And we can take answers which is related to our question then we measure semantic similarity(word/text/sense level)

Explain to Anna why the water on the floor had all evaporated but most of the water in the cup had not.
The water on the floor evaporated quicker because of the surface area was big. But the water in the cup evaporated slower because the surface area was small.

Software-defined Networking (SDN) introduces separate control and data planes to manage network flows. Please explain the responsibilities of each plane in 1-2 sentences. Further, name two tasks the SDN controller takes care of.
The Control plane inludes the control logic. They define the routes for the packets and therefore manage the netowork graph. The control plane is logically centralised and installs the routing tables into the data plane. The data plane exists on the level of the routers, and is in charge of forwarding the packets in the network. The SDN controller installs the flow tables into the switches and receives the requests of the network switches/routers.
Control Plane: The control plane is logically centralized, but can be physically distributed (multiple coordinating control servers for higher availability and scalability). One of the following responsibilities should be given: ● decides the route for the packet/data ○ Control servers manage the network graph, define routes, and update the flow tables of connected switches. ● handles unprocessed packets coming in from the data plane Data plane: Responsible for packet forwarding. Individual switches just execute actions according to their flow tables decided upon by the control plane. The following are the tasks taken care of by the controller: ● Configuration of forwarding tables ● Injecting packets ● Events from switch (packet-in) ● Collection/Monitoring of traffic statistics ● Discovery of topology ● Inventorying what devices are within the network and the capabilities of each device ● Interfaces with control logic (control “application”) via the northbound interface(s) ● Implements a southbound interface to interact with the data plane. ● Implements the control plane.

Advantage: better efficiency Disadvantage: needs frame waiting for transmission
Frame bursting reduces the overhead for transmitting small frames by concatenating a sequence of multiple frames in one single transmission, without ever releasing control of the channel. Advantage :it is more efficient than carrier extension as single frames not filled up with garbage. Disadvantage :need frames waiting for transmission or buffering and delay of frames

Johnny drove to the store with his father one cold and rainy night. They had only driven a short distance when the windows "fogged up" on the inside. What was it about the windows that caused the "fog" to form on them?
It was surface area.
The windows were cooler than the water vapor in the air, causing the vapor to condense.

Bias-variance dilemma is a principle supervised learning problem. The dilemma arises due to the variance of data and bias of model. When there is high bias, the model fits the training data perfectly but suffers from high variance, when the bias is low the variance reduces but the model doesn’t fit the data well. This dilemma makes the generalizability difficult to achieve.

Jim used a solid and water to make Mixtures one (one spoon of solid in 100 milliliters water was clear with nothing on the bottom), 3 (3 spoons of solid in 100 milliliters water was clear with nothing on the bottom), 4 (4 spoons of solid in 100 milliliters water was clear with material on the bottom), and 5 (5 spoons of solid in 100 milliliters water was clear with material on the bottom) as shown below. He stirred each one and observed the results. Is the concentration of Mixture 5 less than, greater than, or the same as the concentration of Mixture 4? Explain your answer.
The same because in the picture of mixture 4 and 5, they show the same salt on the bottom.
The concentrations are the same because both mixtures are saturated.

Ted poured the same amount of water into 2 small containers, X and Y. He placed them together where they would not be disturbed. After several days, all of the water had evaporated from one of the containers. The other container still had some water. Which container, X or Y, was empty? Explain why the water in that container evaporated more quickly than the water in the other container.
Because the container X had more surface area, and the more surface area the faster it evaporates.
Container X has more surface area or more water exposed to the air so the water evaporated faster.

Describe what the graph tells you about the relationship between the number of scoops of fertilizer and the mass of beans harvested?
It goes in a pattern like 0 is on 0.2 and like one is on 0.7 and goes from even to odd.
When less than 3 scoops of fertilizer are used, the more fertilizer used, the greater the mass of beans harvested. When more than 3 scoops of fertilizer are used, the more fertilizer used, the less the mass of beans harvested.

If a student was holding a thermometer by the bulb (the round part at the bottom of the thermometer) when reading the temperature, would the temperature read the same? Why or why not?
Yes, Because if you put your hand on the round part the air is not going to feel thermometer.
No. The temperature would be higher because the student's finger would make the temperature warmer. [Heat would transfer from the student's finger to the thermometer bulb.]

Look at the 2 solar water heaters shown here. The black triangular area is the solar collector in each container. If both heaters contain the same amount of water, would you expect the temperature change in heater X to be greater than, less than, or the same as the temperature change in heater Y after 30 minutes? (Same) Explain your answer.
I think X and Y's temperature would be the same because it is the same just flipped.
The black areas in the 2 collectors (and the collectors themselves) are the same size. The amount of heat absorbed will be the same so the temperature change will also be the same.

Look at the schematic diagram including a D-cell battery and 3 bulbs. Why do the other 2 bulbs stay lit if the middle bulb burns out?
Because it is a parallel circuit.
The circuit is parallel, so each bulb has its own pathway to the D-cell battery, so the bulbs that do not burn out continue to shine.

Rachael tried to hatch brine shrimp under a range of salty conditions (different amounts of salt from 0 to 9 milliliters in the same amount of water). (The graph shows that no eggs hatched in the 0 milliliters and 9 milliliters salt solutions). Rachael thinks that the unhatched brine shrimp eggs in environments outside the range of tolerance for salt might still be viable. Describe how she could find out.
She could get the eggs that did not hatch and put them in a cup with 9 milliliters of salt that has been tested.
Rachael could put the unhatched eggs in a salt solution that is within the range of tolerance.

Below is a drawing of a river that carried sand, clay, and pebbles (past the river's mouth) to a lake. Why is the clay deposited where you indicated?
The clay is deposited where I indicated because it is the lightest.
The clay particles are lighter or smaller and are therefore carried farther by the water, so the clay particles end up the greatest distance away from the mouth of the river.
