Deep Learning in Neural Networks
D
eep learning is a recently-developed
field belonging to Artificial Intelligence.
It tries to mimic the human brain,
which is capable of processing the complex
input data, learning different knowledge
intellectually and fast, and solving different
kinds of complicate tasks well. Switching these
features of human brain to a learning model,
we wish the model can deal with the highdimensional
data, support a fast and intellectual
learning algorithm and perform well in the
complicated AI tasks like computer vision or
speech recognition. Deep architecture is
believed to be such kind of model, with good
learning algorithms for the deep learning and
an excellent performance in solving AI tasks.
Deep Learning currently is not just an academic
research topic instead it’s been the prime
investment (billions of dollars) of top notch
software giants like Google, Microsoft,
Facebook, Apple to name a few. Face
recognition is one of the most important task in
the area of computer vision. Deep Learning
produced break through results in this task
when used. Below image shows the features
learnt by all the layers of a deep neuralnetwork
when trained on
images.
The actual uses of Deep Learning in the present
day are

WEATHER PHONE
The Windows Weather Phone is a refresh from
bad weather predictions and inconvenient
phone interfaces. The Windows Weather Phone
is not only able to predict weather accurately,
but also make its completely transparent body
mimic the weather. If it’s snowing outside, it
would appear as if it’s realistically snowing
inside the phone itself- creating an astounding
illusion.
To initiate text recognition simply blow
onto the screen- the phone recognizes
the change in air pressure and responds.

DEVOP'S TECHNOLOGY
DevOps (development and operations) is an
enterprise software development phrase used
to mean a type of agile relationship between
Development and IT Operations. History of
devop's is at the Agile 2008 conference,
Andrew Clay Shafer and Patrick Debois
discussed "Agile Infrastructure". The term
"DevOps" was popularizedthrough a series of
devopsdays starting in 2009 inBelgium. Since
then, there have been devopsdays conferences
held in many countries worldwide.
The Windows Weather Phone has no buttonsall
functions are controlled through the touch
screen. It also allows interaction with the actual
weather- for example it allows writing and
drawing on a foggy screen- much like how you
would draw on a misty window. Although not
planned to be commercially sold soon, its sleek
design and unique features promises a bright
future.
Features:
Agile and DevOps are similar but differ in a few
important aspect. Agile is a change of thinking
whereas DevOps is actual organizational
culturalchange. DevOps promotes a set of
processes and methods for thinking
about communication and collaboration
between development, Quality Assurance and
IT operations.

Technology
On a rainy day, the phone would appear
to be filled with raindrop while on a sunny
day the phone would appear bright.
“The only way to do great job is to love what you do.” – Steve Jobs 3

The DevOps approach grants developers more
control of the environment, giving
infrastructure more application-centric
understanding.one goal of DevOps is to
establish an environment where releasing more
reliable applications faster and more frequency
occur. DevOps aims to maximize the
predictability, efficiency, security, and
maintainability of operational processes.

IIyr II sem EEE
HOMER (Hybrid Optimization of Multiple
Electric Renewable), the micro power
optimization model, simplifies the task of
evaluating designs of both off-grid and gridconnected
power systems for a variety of
applications. When you design a power system,
you must make many decisions about the
configuration of the system: what components
does it make sense to include in the system
design? How many and what size of each
component should you use? The large number
of technology options and the variation in
technology costs and availability of energy
“Success is not final, Failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts” – Winston 4

esources make these decisions difficult.
HOMER's optimization and sensitivity analysis
algorithms make it easier to evaluate the many
possible system configurations.
To use HOMER, you provide the model with
inputs, which describe technology options,
component costs, and resource availability.
HOMER uses these inputs to simulate different
system configurations, or combinations of
components, and generates results that you can
view as a list of feasible configurations sorted
by net present cost. HOMER also displays
simulation results in a wide variety of tables and
graphs that help you compare configurations
and evaluate them on their economic and
technical merits.
Soon, they could become even more versatile—
with the help ofchewing gum. Scientists report
in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces a unique
sensing device made of gum and carbon
nanotubes that can move with your most
bendable parts and track your breathing.
Most conventional sensors used today are
made out of metal. When they’re twisted or
pulled too much, they stop working. But for
sensors to monitor the full range of a body’s
bending and stretching, they need a lot more to
give. To meet that need, some researchers have
tried developing sensors using stretchy plastics
and silicones. But what they gainedin flexibility,
they lost in sensitivity. Malcolm Xing and
colleagues found a better solution right under
their noses—and in their mouths.

NEW STRETCHABLE, WEARABLE
SENSOR MADE WITH CHEWING GUM
Body sensors, which were once restricted to
doctors’ offices, have come a
long way. They now allow
any wearer to easily track
heart rate, steps and sleep
cycles around the clock.
To make their supple sensor, a team member
chewed a typical piece of gum for 30 min,
washed it with ethanol and let it sit overnight.
The researchers then added a solution of
carbon nanotubes, the sensing material. Simple
pulling and folding coaxed the tubes to align
properly. Human finger-bending and headturning
tests showed the material could keep
working with high sensitivity even when
strained 530%. The sensor also could detect
humidity changes, a feature that could be used
to track breathing, which releases water vapor
with every exhale.

THE WORLD’S LIGHTEST METAL –
MICRO LATTICE
Airplane maker Boeing has created the "The
Lightest Metal Ever" called Micro Lattice. It is
developed by HRL Laboratories in California,
made out of 99.9
percent air.
It looks like sponge
or a mesh and is
flexible and strong.
It is light enough to
be balanced on top
of Dandelion, yet It
maintains tructural integrity when under stress.
This gives high energy absorption with ability
to completely recover from compression
exceeding 50 percent strain. Its impressive
properties makes its use forbattery
electrodes, acoustic vibration or shock energy
damping. Because of the strength and
unprecedented lightness of material, the
structural components in planes can be
replaced to reduce the weight and make
planes more fuel efficient.

DIGITAL INDIA VS NET NEUTRALITY
Digital India is an initiative by the Government
of India to ensure that Government services are
made available to citizens electronically by
improving online infrastructure and by
increasing Internet connectivity. It goes with the
motto "power to empower".The three core
components of this initiative are:
The creation of digital infrastructure
Delivering services digitally
Digital literacy
This project includes providing broadband in
2.5 lakh villages, universal phone connectivity,
Net Zero Imports by 2020, 400,000 Public
Internet Access Points, Wi-fi in 2.5 lakh schools,
all universities; Public wi-fi hotspots for citizens,
Digital Inclusion: 1.7 Cr trained for IT, Telecom
and Electronics Jobs creation: Direct 1.7 Cr. and
Indirect at least 8.5 Cr. e-Governance
&eServices: Across government India to be
leader in IT use in services – health, education,
banking Digitally empowered citizens – public
cloud, internet access.
Many organizations have come forward to help
this initiative like Facebook, Microsoft, Reliance.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s vision of
expanded access to a pared down internet.
Expanded access is, after all, one of the three
pillars of Digital India. Why not shift costs to
content providers, who enter into exclusive
contracts with data providers, all enabled by
Facebook’s Free Basics app? Such an
arrangement could expand internet use rapidly
in a country where some 80 percent of the
population does not have access, benefiting
crores of people. It would also, naturally,
benefit Facebook.
“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today” – Johnson 7

Advocates of net neutrality — a vocal minority
linked to NGOs and internet start-ups — are
unhappy with such an arrangement, which they
feel will disadvantage consumers by limiting
choice. It could also discriminate against smaller
content providers struggling to compete with
established internet companies. Net neutrality
advocates have argued that there are other
ways to expand access and lower costs, such as
subsidizing data plans or through advertising.
The prime minister has made it clear that access
is his top priority, but net neutrality advocates
need not completely despair. The relentless
drive to expand digital access in India may be
necessary in the short term, but may make less
sense once the Indian internet market becomes
more saturated.
That is another way of saying that the access vs
neutrality dilemma could resolve itself
organically.
As incomes rise, consumers may gradually opt
for data plans that give them greater access,
foregoing more restrictive but free data
services.
Facebook’s Free Basics would, in that event,
simply be a stepping stone that contributes in
time to its own irrelevance.
Self-confidence is extremely important in
almost every aspect of our lives, yet so many
people struggle to find it. Sadly, this can be a
vicious circle:people who lack self-confidence
can find it difficultto become successful.
Confident people inspire confidence in others:
their audience, their peers, their bosses, their
customers, and their friends. And gaining the
confidence of others is one of the key ways in
which a self-confident person finds success.
The good news is that self-confidence really can
be learned and built on. And, whether you’re
working on your own confidence or building the
confidence of people around you, it’s wellworth
the effort!
HOW YOUR CONFIDENCE SEEMS TO OTHERS?
our level of self-confidence can show in many
ways: your behavior, your body language, how
you speak,what you say, and so on. Look at the
following comparisons of common confident
behavior with behavior associated with low selfconfidence.

Tips for building self-confidence
Not everyone is born with an inbuilt sense of
self-confidence. Sometimes it can be hard to
develop confidence, either because of personal
experiences that have caused you to lose
confidence, or if you suffer from low selfesteem.
Look at what you’ve already achieved.
Think of things you’re good at.
Set some goals.
Talk yourself up.
Put your thoughts in their place.

Future uses of Quantum Computing :
Quantum Computing is essentially harnessing
and exploiting the amazing laws of quantum
mechanics to process information. A traditional
computer uses long strings of “bits,” which
encode either a zero or a one. A quantum
computer, on the other hand, uses quantum
bits, or qubits.
What can a quantum computer do
that a classical computer can’t?
Multiplying two large numbers is easy for any
computer. But calculating the factors of a very
large (say, 500-digit) number, on the other
hand, is considered impossible for any classical
computer.
RSA encryption, the method is used to encrypt
your credit card number when you’re shopping
online, relies completely on the factoring
problem. The website you want to purchase
from gives you a large "public" key (which
anyone can access) to encode your credit card
information. This key actually is the product of
two very large prime numbers, known only to
the seller. The only way anyone could intercept
your information is to know those two prime
numbers that multiply to create the key. Since
factoring is very hard, no eavesdropper will be

Electronic nose
Electronic sensing refers to capability of
reproducing human senses using sensor
arrays and pattern recognition systems.
Electronic nose is an Electronic Sensor. It
identifies the specific components of an
odor and analyses its chemical makeup to
identify it. An odor is composed of
molecules. Each of these molecules has a
correspondingly sized and shaped receptor in
the human nose. When a specific receptor
receives a molecule, it sends a signal to the
brain and the brain identifies the smell
associated with that particular molecule.
Electronic noses based on the biological model
work in a similar manner, substituting sensors
for the receptors, and transmitting the signal to
a program for processing, rather than to the
brain.
Applications:
Electronic noses such as the Cyranose
320 can help grape growers pinpoint
harvest dates to make a better product
for consumers.

Smart Home Security-Cocoon
The present smart security devices in the
market at the moment, tend to be relatively
simple, combining motion detection with an
Internet connected camera alerts a user with
smart phone apps to detect an intruder. A new
device-Cocoon that uses 'infrasound' (sound
below that of human hearing) a sub sound
technology which is outside the range of normal
human hearing to detect movement by listening
to things people can't hear was developed.
With this new security device, we have set
about correcting the main problem with
existing sensors, where there are way too many
false alarms triggered by the suburban sound
track .Humans hear within the range from 20Hz
to 20kHz.
Cocoon
uses a
powerful
microphone
to detect
infrasound
and this sub
sound
technology combines sound wave detection
(audible and infrasound) with digital profiling
and machine learning. Sub sound technology
enables Cocoon to detect and make sense of
the noises created by activity throughout the
home so it can notify you if anything unusual
happens. A key benefit of sub sound technology
“Success is simple. Do what’s right, the right way, at the right time”- Arnold H Glasow 11

is that it enables Cocoon to detect and profile
activity throughout the home without the need
for additional sensors. It means you only need
one small Cocoon device in order to keep the
home secure, eliminating the need for
expensive wired home security systems.

SPATIAL USER INTERFACE
Spatial user interfaces (SUIs) let users freely
interact with both 3D virtual information and
traditional 2D workstation application
information. Spatial augmented reality (SAR)
em ploys projectors to directly illuminate
physical objects with perspectively correct
computer-generated information in real time
(see Figure 1). SAR requires unique techniques
to support interaction with 2D and 3D virtual
information associated with physical objects.
SAR systems can alter objects’ visual surface
properties, such as colours, textures, small
changes to geometry, shininess, and
transparency. Annotations such as
instructions can be projected directly onto
the objects’ surfaces when and where they
are required. Users don’t have to wear or
carry equipment, such as an HMD or a
handheld display. SAR user interface and
application design is an exciting research
area still in its infancy. SUI concepts, such as
movement in 3D space, combining 2D and
3D information, and natural interactions,
are critical for SAR user interfaces’ success.
SAR could greatly improve processes in
many application areas in which physical
objects are common.

In this era,we talk to phones,not talk to others
through our phones,The world is moving
towards digitalization where programs are
becoming human like Cortana and Siri. The
world is transforming towards the usage of
Virtual Digital Assistants, which can come in
many forms. The Virtual Digital Assistants are
automated tools which helps the human
through their voice commands or through their
written words (Natural Language
Processing).This assistance can be offered in
many ways, such as, enabling the most recently
visited links on enterprise websites or to make a
conversational speech based interaction in
order to facilitate basic necessities like reading
out the messages, emails on your smart phones
such as Cortana, Siri, Google now.
VDAs represent the fusion of speech
recognition, natural language processing (NLP),
and artificial intelligence (AI) and hold the
potential to have a transformative impact on
user interfaces in the mobile, automotive,
connected home, and enterprise domains,
among others.
Virtual Assistant technology is not just about
setting up an avatar. Can Virtual Assistant pick
up the phone, chat on instant messenger,
update Facebook or send a text using SMS? The
Natural Language Interaction technology that
drives the Virtual Assistants from Artificial
Solutions can be applied to multiple customer
service touch points, from SMS and instant
messaging, through understanding and
responding to sentiment on social media to
using voice integration to handle telephone
calls.
