Assignment Unit 1 F

Read _The Mind of the Maker_ ...

Thoroughly read the text The Mind of the Maker. Create a document which summarizes Sayers' claims regarding the “creative mind.” In addition, update her analogies for creation from an “artist/writer” to an “Information Technologist.” That is, express the 3-part creative process in the framework of information technology.

 

One of Sayers’ analogies was illustrating the creative process in the context of a writer. Update the analogy and show how the creative process is carried out by an information technologist.

Your document should have these two headings, summary and update for IT.

Two important chapters of The Mind of the Maker are included here on Blackboard Learn. You will likely be able to answer the question based upon class discussion and these two chapters. I’m hoping that you’ll find her information so interesting that you’ll be motivated to purchase the book for yourself.

You’ll find a preview of her book on Google books here: http://books.google.com/books?id=xGS0ur5e-vEC

Assignment Unit 1 K

Eliza  ...

Using Eliza found here: http://www-ai.ijs.si/eliza/  

or

http://nlp-addiction.com/eliza/

Carry on two sessions ("conversations"). One session should make Eliza appear intelligent while the other would demonstrate that Eliza is not intelligent.

Create two transcripts ("conversation" listings including your input and Eliza's response). In the first session, carry on a conversation in which Eliza appears intelligent. This conversation should have between 6-8 inputs from you along with 1 more response from Eliza (7-9 responses). The transcript would appear to be a conversation between two intelligent human beings. (Of course, everyone's transcript will be different).

In the second session, carry on a conversation in which Eliza doesn't appear intelligent (makes 'crazy' unrelated responses, for example). This conversation should have between 6-8 inputs from you along with 1 more response from Eliza (7-9 responses). The transcript would appear to be a conversation between an intelligent human being and dumb computer. (Of course, everyone's transcript will be different).

Copy the transcript from Eliza into a word document and upload here on Blackboard Learn. List the intelligent transcript first.
