a) Explain on Simulated Annealing algorithm behaves at very high temperatures, and how it behaves at very low temperatures. (b) Imagine the implementation of Simulated Annealing algorithm in real life. Let's say, you have a caretaker at your home. Your home has a garden and it has a fountain with a network of pipes that contains 150 faucets. You informed your caretaker that you are going for short holiday to Langkawi for 3 days and when you return you would like the fountain to spray as high as possible. Your caretaker knows that it is impossible to check all faucets within 3 days to obtain an optimal setting. You can use Simulated Annealing algorithm to maximize the height of the fountain, also can assume whether a faucet can be ON or OFF and measuring the water height. Adding to that, you can make any other assumptions required for this scenario, explain clearly using Simulated Annealing algorithm.

Let l be a line in the x-yplane. If l is a vertical line, its equation is x = a for some real number a. Suppose l is not a vertical line and its slope is m. Then the equation of l is y = mx + b, where b is the y-intercept. If l passes through the point (x₀, y₀), the equation of l can be written as y - y₀ = m(x - x₀). If (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are two points in the x-y plane and x₁ ≠ x₂, the slope of line passing through these points is m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁). Instructions Write a program that prompts the user for two points in the x-y plane. Input should be entered in the following order: Input x₁ Input y₁ Input x₂
Suppose you’re consulting for a bank that’s concerned about fraud detection, and they come to youwith the following problem. They have a collection of n bank cards that they’ve confiscated, suspectingthem of being used in fraud. Each bank card is a small plastic object, containing a magnetic stripe withsome encrypted data, and it corresponds to a unique account in the bank. Each account can have manybank cards corresponding to it, and we’ll say that two bank cards are equivalent if they correspond to thesame account.It’s very difficult to read the account number off a bank card directly, but the bank has a high-tech “equivalence tester” that takes two bank cards and, after performing some computations, determines whether theyare equivalent.Their question is the following: among the collection of n cards, is there a set of more than n/2 of themthat are all equivalent to one another? Assume that the only feasible operations you can do with the cardsare to pick two of them and plug them…
Implement an algorithmic solution, indicating which states are valid and which are not, and model the space of the following problem: An interest group from a small town decided to sue a company for commercial abuse. For this, the people have organized themselves and decided to send 3 representatives, who will have to travel in a Van to the city where the lawsuit will be filed. The company to be sued, upon learning of these actions, has decided to send 3 lawyers to persuade the representatives, who will also travel in the same Van for that purpose. The community must file the class action suit under these conditions: - The three applicants must reach the destination city; - Only two people can travel per trip in the Van (small town - city, city - small town); - There can never be more lawyers than plaintiffs in any one place (either in the small town or city) because the lawyers can persuade the plaintiffs and as a consequence, the lawsuit would not be made; - The Van cannot be…
Create a curve that uses a quadratic parametric approach with three interpolated control points. The equations which describe the curve are: $$f_x(u) = c_0 u^2 + c_1 u + c_2 $$ and $$f_y(u) = c_3 u^2 + c_4 u + c_5 $$ where $u$ ranges from 0.0 to 1.0. The first control point $$p_0$$ is for $u=0$, the second $p_1$ for $u=0.5$, and the third for $p_2$ and at $u=1.0$. Modify the code to implement your solution. It is sufficient for this task to get the program working with three control points, but you are most welcome to attempt a solution that works on four or more.

The language for coding must be in python Neural Network Units Implement a single sigmoid neural network unit with weights of [-1.2, -1.1, 3.3, -2.1] Calculate the outputs for two training examples:Example 1: [0.9, 10.0, 3.1, 1]Example 2: [0.9, 2.1, 3.7, 1] Note that you don't have to explicitly include a threshold or bias since the examples include a last element of 1 which means that the last weight effectively operates as a threshold. Assuming that a sigmoid unit response >0.5 denotes a positive class and <0.5 is negative class, is example 1 positive or negative? is example 2 positive or negative? Create a single ReLU unit and provide the outputs for those examples. Calculate the derivative of the sigmoid with respect to net input for both examples Calculate the derivative of the ReLU with respect to net input for both examples
As discussed in Class 05, cryptography is the area of mathematics intended for the study of techniques and principles for transforming information from its original form to another, unintelligible form, so that it can be used only when authorized. According to the definition of encryption, carefully analyze the following situation presented below: For the transmission of encrypted messages between two points A and B, A generates a private key and forwards it to B, A encrypts the message using this same private key and sends this message to B, upon receiving the message, B decrypts the message with the same private key. Regarding the situation presented above, mark the alternative that corresponds to the encryption mode used.

You may get around this problem by developing a simple expert system to examine traffic accidents. In order to make use of this little expert system, you will need to draft a set of rules and draw out a "AND/OR graph."
Write a python program based on the discussion we had on the last day of class, to train a network with two hidden layers each with 5 neurons. Finish the gradient computation we did in class, and implement a steepest decent search for a network which minimizes the cost function. Once you believe that your network is trained, compute the value of n(1, 1) and see what you get. Bonus: If you easily get this to work, then try to generalize to K neurons in each of the two hidden layers. Does the training work better with more neurons?
Although the plot function is designed primarily for plotting standard xy graphs, it can be adapted for other kinds of plotting as well. b. Make a plot of the curve, which is defined parametrically by the equations x = 2cosθ + cos2θ, y = 2sinθ - sin2θ, where 0 < θ < 2π. Take a set of values of θ between zero and 2π and calculate x and y for each from the equations above, then plot y as a function of x. b. Taking this approach a step further, one can make a polar plot r = f(θ) for some function f by calculating r for a range of values of θ and then converting r and θ to Cartesian coordinates using the standard equations x = r cosθ, y = r sinθ. Use this method to make a plot of the function r = ecosθ – 2 cos(4θ) + sin5 (θ/12) in the range 0 <= θ <= 24π. use python code to answer the highlight one
Construct a Turing machine that takes strings over the alphabet {a,b} on the tape, and moves the whole string over to the right one cell position. When you're done, the tape should essentially look the same (since it's infinite on both ends…) but you will know (and people who look at your code will know) that in fact you moved the string over by one space to the right. After moving the string over, the turing machine should move to the left-most cell in the string and than go to the HALT state.
Simulated annealing is an extension of hill climbing, which uses randomness to avoid getting stuck in local maxima and plateaux. a) As defined in your textbook, simulated annealing returns the current state when the end of the annealing schedule is reached and if the annealing schedule is slow enough. Given that we know the value (measure of goodness) of each state we visit, is there anything smarter we could do? (b) Simulated annealing requires a very small amount of memory, just enough to store two states: the current state and the proposed next state. Suppose we had enough memory to hold two million states. Propose a modification to simulated annealing that makes productive use of the additional memory. In particular, suggest something that will likely perform better than just running simulated annealing a million times consecutively with random restarts. [Note: There are multiple correct answers here.] (c) Gradient ascent search is prone to local optima just like hill climbing.…
