WYBORY PREZYDENCKIE 2010 - na kogo powinien głosować chrześcijanin?
Welcome
Welcome to my web page! Nice to see you here. You have just arrived to one of the most exciting places on the internet. Here you can find out about my (and hopefully also your) interests that include:
- Artificial Intelligence
- Discovering knowledge in data. Knowledge means money and must be intelligently extracted from the noisy and enormous sets of data.
- My new special interests are in some aspects of artificial intelligence where natural language processing and text mining meets semantic web.
- My old special interests were in visualization of multidimensional spaces (how to see the impossible) and in artificial neural networks including visualization of the multidimensional MLP error surface.
- Another interesting topic is how to computationally model such phenomena as human passion and creativity,
which is definitely more difficult than to model human memory and logical reasoning.
- Brain and Natural Intelligence
- To understand how the brains works we must build a model of it as a computer program. Many such approaches, have been taken and some are quite successful, in spite that they explain only chosen aspects of the brain activity.
- Using the brain more effectively just simply contains the following steps:
- Defining the main goal
- Using proper time management techniques and giving priority to the non-urgent and important tasks leading to the main goal
- Using the best of the bunch of learning techniques when appropriate
- Promoting the ideas by networking and "marketing"
- Creativity is more complex as well to use in practice as to create a computational
model; in general stick to the advise "Enter through the narrow gate".
- .NET and related technologies
- Of course I must implement somehow all the IA methods. C# is my language of choice (it's more mature than java). I also use it for developing commercial systems (which always have embedded a bit of AI).
- People say Microsoft makes lots of mistakes
both in code and in policy. That's true, but only that one who does nothing doesn't
make any mistakes. You must admit that the total balance of Microsoft's activity is
undoubtedly positive.
- Ecology and Traveling by Bike
- Ecology in my understanding comprises all activities that help extend the life on our planet beyond the current generation.
- I don't own a car, instead I commute and travel around the world by bike, because:
- I like it very much
- In this way I don't get stuck in traffic jams
- Bikes commuters are healthier and on average live two years longer
- That reduces air and noise pollution
- And finally that saves me money on gasoline, vehicle
maintenance, parking fees and parking tickets
- More
