Student Presentations - Spring 2019 Collection
This collection of student presentations were completed during Spring 2019 semester at N.J.I.T. During Unit 4, known as "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" students broke into groups of two or more to independently explore a topic of their choice. After the presentation, the students that were in the audience engaged in a "Q & A" session with the presenters. Questions and debates often occurred because all of the main topics were new and fascinating.
Listed below is a brief overview of each presentation topic, the presenters, a PDF download of the presentation for viewing, and any links corresponding to the presentation will be accessible on the PDF file.
Many thanks and acknowledgment to the students in the class!
Ever wonder about your video feed or your "Recommended for You" section on YouTube? Why would searching a particular item lead to several related advertisements or influence your intrigue for another product? The answer may very well put the work of Recommender Systems! Recommender systems or a recommendation system provides the user with information based on ratings, preferences, and other settings.

Science and research have explored human and computer interaction as a key step in computer technology innovation. Science is trying to get as close as possible to develop a machine that learns exponentially and can practically mimic human behavior. An example of this is the Turing Test, a computer intelligence test where a computer can successfully persuade a human that it is human as well.

Humans can at least depend on their governments and the United Nations to protect their Human Rights. Animals and the environment can be protected by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and organizations alike? However, who is there to defend the rights of robots? Should robots be granted rights in the first place? As robots recieve advanced forms of artificial intelligence, some researchers are debating if they should be given rights and protective measures in the World of Man.

The realms of biology and medicine have recently been merging with science. Surgeons and other medical practitioners are seeking new ways to treat patients with the help of advanced technology and devices. Digital innovations can not only make healthcare treatments more accessible to people worldwide, but it might also lead to more affordable and better solutions with accuracy. With the help with aggregated patient data, 3-D printing, and other tools, humans can be facing a better lifestyle.

Whether you realize it or not, ethics plays a big role when it comes to the treatment of others in society. Ethics relates to virtues, principles, and morals that an individual can have or can be shared with the rest of society. Ethics can be found in the courtroom, between doctors and patients, or with a scientist and research participant. However, does artificial intelligence/robots have the ability to determine the same human decisions and intentions? Should information be placed in by the inventor or should this be developed machine learning? While the debates of ethics still continue, the spectrum has expanded with the inclusion of A.I. and more.

Pets can be both dogs, cats, hamsters, lizards, or really anything your residing state allows! So what better way to introduce robotic technology with a pet robot dog? A topic of interest was robot dog Aibo which has surprising been around for a couple of years. In fact, Aibo has gone through many programming transformations as well as competing robots emerging in the markets. As different forms of the robots place themselves in our household, human companionships with bots are starting to become more common.

In relationship to the body and medicine, there is new technology forming in the shape of advanced prosthetics. Prosthetics are related to artificial limbs. Prosthetics can help a patient heal emotionally and physically from the trauma of limb loss, due to prosthetic appearance and assistance through daily activities. Fortunately, bionic prosthetics are hoping to make that healing journey less difficult with its advantages in innovation and to help the patient overall.

When it comes to with navigating with a map, colors play an important part. Originally maps stayed in the two-dimensional lane as a handy fold-out in the driver's glove compartment or found in the Maps and Atlas section in the library. However, creating an interactive and virtual map for a computer screen can be quite difficult. Users are looking for accuracy, explanations, and clarity. So when it comes to making a map on the United States of America, why do you need only four colors? The following presentation reviews the mathematician's perspective on the Four Color Theorem
