Facts about Heredity and Evolution

Image
Heredity  is the passing on of  traits  from parents to their offspring, either through  asexual reproduction  or  sexual reproduction , the offspring  cells  or  organisms  acquire the  genetic information  of their parents. Through heredity, variations between individuals can accumulate and cause  species  to  evolve  by  natural selection . The study of heredity in  biology  is  genetics .   Variation -  The difference  in the characters among the individual of a species is called variations. Ex. height of a organisms. Accumulation of variations  - The significance of variations shows up only if it continues to be inherited by the offspring for several generations. Ex. Suppose a bacterium has a variation due to which it can tolerate a little higher temperature than the other one . Now this variation will go on accumulating in the successive generations of thi...

Super facts about Artificial intelligence (AI)

Natural-language understanding  ( NLU ) or  natural-language interpretation  ( NLI ) is a subtopic of  natural-language processing  in  artificial intelligence  that deals with machine  reading comprehension . Natural-language understanding is considered an  AI-hard problem. There is considerable commercial interest in the field because of its application to  automated reasoning , question  answering , news-gathering,  text categorization ,  voice-activation , archiving, and large-scale  content analysis . NLU is the post-processing of text, after the use of NLP algorithms (identifying parts-of-speech, etc.), that utilizes context from recognition devices (ASR, vision recognition, last conversation, misrecognized words from ASR, personalized profiles, microphone proximity etc.), in all of its forms, to discern meaning of fragmented and run-on sentences to execute an intent from typically voice commands.
