INFORMATION SYSTEMS & DATABASES INFORMATION SYSTEMS Information systems perform a set of information processes requiring participants‚ data/ information and information technology. The processes are collecting‚ analysing‚ organising‚ processing‚ storing/ retrieving‚ transmitting/ receiving and displaying. CHARACTERISTICS OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS Information systems are created to provide access to information for an organisation or individual and have the following characteristics: • ORGANISATION

INFORMATION PROCESSING THEORY Information processing is a cognitive theoretical framework that focuses on how knowledge enters and is stored and retrieved from our memory. Cognitive psychologists believed that cognitive process influenced the nature of what is learned. They considered learning as largely an internal process‚ not an external behavior change (as behavior theorist thought). They looked into hoe we receive‚ perceive‚ store and retrieve information. They believed that

Natural Language Processing Natural language processing (NLP) is a field of computer science‚ artificial intelligence‚ and linguistics concerned with the interactions between computers and human (natural) languages. As such‚ NLP is related to the area of human–computer interaction. Many challenges in NLP involve natural language understanding -- that is‚ enabling computers to derive meaning from human or natural language input. An automated online assistant providing customer

of life‚ nearly all of an infant’s perceptual abilities improve dramatically. One of the most important perceptual abilities is to be able to decide accurately how far away a person or object is. This is very valuable as infants move around‚ because they are likely to fall and hurt themselves if they do not know how far away various objects and obstacles are. This depth and distance perception allows us to change 2D information from the retina‚ into 3D information. We achieve this by using cues such

This refers to the way information is processed in a computers information management system. The information processing cycle consists of five specific steps: 1. Input – This is any kind of data- letters‚ numbers‚ symbols‚ shapes‚ images or whatever raw material put in to the computer system that needs processing. Input data is put into the computer using a keyboard‚ mouse or other devices such as the scanner‚ microphone and the digital camera. 2. Processing – This is the transformation‚ sorting

Finally‚ I will be providing some of my own insight‚ thoughts‚ and arguments on the studies and material provided in the following. After reading this paper‚ one should have a general understanding of what it takes for a being to be able to reach‚ grasp‚ and catch effectively; what affordances are and how they relate to humans‚ and finally what the main points or “take-home message” is that these studies

mechanisms involved in motor development involve some genetic components that determine the physical size of body parts at a given age‚ as well as aspects of muscle and bone strength. The main areas of the brain involved in motor skills are the frontal cortex‚ parietal cortex and basal ganglia. The dorsolateral frontal cortex is responsible for strategic processing. The parietal cortex is important in controlling perceptual-motor integration and the basal ganglia and supplementary motor cortex are responsible

We live in an information age‚ and no business of any size can survive and compete without embracing information technology. Information has come to be recognised as a resource of fundamental importance

Language‚ ablity to speak & write and communicate is one of the most fundamental aspects of human behaviour. As the study of human-languages developed the concept of communicating with non-human devices was investigated. This is the origin of natural language processing (NLP). The idea of natural language processing is to design and build a computer system that will analyze ‚ understand and generate natural human-languages. Natural language communication with computers has long been a major goal
