No. of Participants : 113 students

Mrs. Kavitha Bai has given a background on importance of Turing Machine in today's digital age. Outline the objectives of the seminar.

Seminar Agenda

A Turing Machine is an accepting device which accepts the languages (recursively enumerable set) generated by type 0 grammars. It was invented in 1936 by Alan Turing.A Turing Machine (TM) is a mathematical model which consists of an infinite length tape divided into cells on which input is given. It consists of a head which reads the input tape. A state register stores the state of the Turing machine. After reading an input symbol, it is replaced with another symbol, its internal state is changed, and it moves from one cell to the right or left. If the TM reaches the final state, the input string is accepted, otherwise rejected.

ATM can be formally described as a 7-tuple (Q, X, ∑, δ, q0, B, F) where −

• Q is a finite set of states

• X is the tape alphabet

• ∑ is the input alphabet

• δ is a transition function; δ : Q × X → Q × X × {Left_shift, Right_shift}.

• q₀ is the initial state

• B is the blank symbol

• F is the set of final states

Comparison with the previous automaton

• The following table shows a comparison of how a Turing machine differs from Finite Automaton and Pushdown Automaton.

Time and space complexity of a Turing Machine:

For a Turing machine, the time complexity refers to the measure of the number of times the tape moves when the machine is initialized for some input symbols and the space complexity is the number of cells of the tape written.

Time complexity all reasonable functions − T(n) = O(n log n)

TM's space complexity − S(n) = O(n)

Interactive Session

• Q&A Session: Provide an overview of the questions raised by the audience and the responses from the speakers, particularly focusing on practical advice and real-life applications.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a computer or a robot controlled by a computer to do tasks that are usually done by humans because they require human intelligence and discernment. Machine learning is the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed. Self-driving cars, practical speech recognition, effective web search, and a vastly improved understanding of the human genome are few of the examples which uses machine learning. Deep learning is a type of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) that imitates the way humans gain certain types of knowledge. Deep learning is an important element of data science, which includes statistics and predictive modelling. Machine learning is about computers being able to think and act with less human intervention; deep learning is about computers learning to think using structures modelled on the human brain. Machine learning requires less computing power; deep learning typically needs less ongoing human intervention. Data science encompasses preparing data for analysis, including cleansing, aggregating, and manipulating the data to perform advanced data analysis. Analytic applications and data scientists can then review the results to uncover patterns and enable business leaders to draw informed insights. Data Science is a field that makes use of AI to generate predictions but also focuses on transforming data for analysis and visualizations.

A Turing Machine is an accepting device which accepts the languages (recursively enumerable set) generated by type 0 grammars. It was invented in 1936 by Alan Turing.

A Turing Machine (TM) is a mathematical model which consists of an infinite length tape divided into cells on which input is given. It consists of a head which reads the input tape. A state register stores the state of the Turing machine. After reading an input symbol, it is replaced with another symbol, its internal state is changed, and it moves from one cell to the right or left. If the TM reaches the final state, the input string is accepted, otherwise rejected.

A TM can be formally described as a 7-tuple (Q, X, ∑, δ, q 0 , B, F) where -
* Q is a finite set of states
* X is the tape alphabet
* ∑ is the input alphabet
* δ is a transition function; δ : Q × X → Q × X × {Left_shift, Right_shift}.
* q 0  is the initial state
* B is the blank symbol
* F is the set of final states
Comparison with the previous automaton
* The following table shows a comparison of how a Turing machine differs from Finite Automaton and Pushdown Automaton.

Time and space complexity of a Turing Machine:
For a Turing machine, the time complexity refers to the measure of the number of times the tape moves when the machine is initialized for some input symbols and the space complexity is the number of cells of the tape written.

Time complexity all reasonable functions - T(n) = O(n log n)
TM's space complexity - S(n) = O(n)

The two dominant Agile approaches are Scrum and extreme Programming (XP). XP was arguably the first method deemed to be "Agile". Scrum is very popular and in very wide use today. Scrum is a definite project management emphasis. A Scrum project is managed by a Scrum Master, who can be considered as much a consultant or coach as a manager. Scrum is one of the few agile methods used to scale up for larger projects. Scrum has a fundamental 30-day development cycle called a Sprint, preceded by pre-Sprint activities, and succeeded by post-Sprint activities. A short (less than 30 minutes) daily Scrum Meeting allows the team to monitor status and communicate problems. Project planning is based on a Product Backlog, which contains functions and technology enhancements envisioned for the project.

Programming is important for speeding up the input and output processes in a machine. Programming is important to automate, collect, manage, calculate, analyze the processing of data and information accurately. Programming is important to create software and applications that help computer and mobile users in daily life. Due to all these reasons, it’s really important to learn how to use programming languages in our daily life. Java, javascript, C#, C++, PHP, Python, Swift, SQL, Ruby, etc. programming languages are the reasons behind the innovations in information technologies. If today we are seeing robots, artificial intelligence, machine learning, bitcoins, blockchain, IoT (Internet of Things), Cloud Computing, etc. new technology and products in the IT industry, then it’s because of programming languages.

The group of programs is called software. Programming languages are the way to create software that performs various or specific tasks in a systematic manner. Software development is like a Marriage event.

A programming language is a method to communicate with machines in a systematic format. To understand programming languages first we need to start from programs.

"In Agile software development The processes of specification, design, and implementation are interleaved. The system is developed in a series of versions. End-users and other system stakeholders are involved in specifying and evaluating each version. Agile methods are incremental development methods in which the increments are small and, typically, new releases of the system are created and made available to customers every two or three weeks.

Scrum is an iterative and incremental framework containing simple roles, activities, artifacts, and rules founded on empirical process control theory. It has become a widely accepted agile framework in industry. Scrum may be viewed as an agile framework for developing software. Agile describes a set of guiding principles for building software through iterative development. Scrum is a specific set of rules to follow when practicing agile software development."

JDBC (Java Data Base Connectivity ) is a driver which act as a bridge between client application and vendor specific data base. It has set of classes and interfaces in order to connect with database and perform operations on database. MVC architecture is a standard architecture which has been followed in industry in order to interact with database from client programs. Front end can be written using JSP (Java Server Pages). Back end can be any database like MySQL, Oracle, Postgres SQL etc. Using JPA ( Java Persistence API) front end and back end can be connected.

As a specification, the Java Persistence API is concerned with persistence, which loosely means any mechanism by which Java objects outlive the application process that created them. Not all Java objects need to be persisted, but most applications persist key business objects. The JPA specification lets to which objects should be persisted, and how those objects should be persisted in Java applications.

Machine learning is subset of Artificial Intelligence which focuses on design of the system and can make predictions and decisions based on input. To train the system we need more data (80%). Machine learning has two techniques supervised learning and unsupervised learning. In Supervised learning, we train the machine using data which is well "labeled." It means some data is already tagged with the correct answer. It can be compared to learning which takes place in the presence of a supervisor or a teacher. A supervised learning algorithm learns from labeled training data, helps you to predict outcomes for unforeseen data. Successfully building, scaling, and deploying accurate supervised machine learning Data science model takes time and technical expertise from a team of highly skilled data scientists. Moreover, Data scientist must rebuild models to make sure the insights given remains true until its data changes. Unsupervised learning is a machine learning technique, where you do not need to supervise the model. Instead, you need to allow the model to work on its own to discover information. It mainly deals with the unlabelled data. Unsupervised learning algorithms allow you to perform more complex processing tasks compared to supervised learning. Although, unsupervised learning can be more unpredictable compared with other natural learning deep learning and reinforcement learning methods. Machine learning is used in Virtual Personal Assistants like Alexa, Siri, Google now, Cortana.
