Science In Focus: Energy
Interview with Dr. Sallie Baliunas about forms of energy including springs and magnets.,Dr. Sallie Baliunas explains the energy transfers that occur when she pushes down on a spring and then releases it. She explains that she adds potential energy to the spring when she pushes it down, energy that is bound up in the coils. When she releases the spring, the potential energy becomes energy of motion. Some potential energy is used to move air molecules, producing sound, and some is lost to heat
Learning about Users from Observation
Many approaches and systems for recommending information,
goods, or other kinds of objects have been developed
in recent years. In these systems, machine learning methods
are often used that need training input to acquire a user
interest profile. Such methods typically need positive and
negative evidence of the user’s interests. To obtain both
kinds of evidence, many systems make users rate relevant
objects explicitly. Others merely observe the user’s behavior,
which yields positive evidence
Electronic Case File (Windows version)
