"famous" math problems in machine learning and AI ? Are there any "famous"(i.e. crucial) unsolved mathematical problems in the field of machine learning or the general study of artificial intelligence? There is interest in programming computers to solve problems by artificial intelligence...

Atwood's Machine, with one pulley and two weights, is analyzed with two free body diagrams. Each diagram depicts the forces applied to each weight. If the weights are connected, why isn't gravity considered to be pulling on both weights in the same direction? (Meaning, why aren't the masses for...

Hello, I have an undergraduate degree in EE and I have a passion for mathematics. I'm trying to decide if I should do a masters in signal processing or machine learning. What are the pros and cons of each given the way the industry is? (I live in Bangalore, the tech capital of India, where...

Hi. I'm studying numerical methods so I found this subforum the most correct for this question. The machine epsilon for a computer is defined as the least number e such that 1 + e is different to 1. I just wonder, why 1 + e? And not 2 + e for instance? Thanks!

Homework Statement A "Pedagogical machine" is illustrated in the attachment. All surfaces are frictionless. What force F must be applied to ##M_1## to keep ##M_3## from rising or falling? Ans. clue. For equal masses F=3Mg Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I would like...

[b]1. Machine A and machine B are performing the same task. Machine A is causing twice the entropy change of machine B. Which would you rather use and why? [b]3. I would choose Machine B. Lots of disorder = high entropy, while order = low entropy.

I am having difficulty reconciling this in my head. Imagine two Atwood machines (example). In both machines, the pulley is massless, there is no friction, but the rope is not massless, though it is inextensible. The rope and pulley in each machine are identical. The first is a traditional Atwood...

Hi all, I recently got very interested in machine learning and neural networks etc. Although I am having a taste for mathematics , I haven't rigorously learned any mathematics course because my background is electronics engineering (masters level). And also I am not a good C or Java...

It seems that for a machine to learn, it must have intelligence. :confused:

If a magnet could somehow oscillate in and out of a coil of wire and used to power a light bulb, could that power the light bulb forever? I learned in class that running through a magnet through a coil of wire could produce an electric current. If we had two magnets powerful enough to repel...
