    Students come across mental stress and anxiety during the examination period. CBSE exam will start on 1st March 2012 and will end up in the month of April, 2012. The crucial period will bring challenges before students appearing for the exams. The dream to pull of good grades often gets distorted under extreme tension.

    WAOW! Now THAT's a GREAT contribution! Thank you!! You've just multiplied by 10 or more the number of resources link to in this group.

Cognitive Edge: Natural numbers, networks & communities - 0 views

  • Now this was four years ago, pre-blog and pre any wide-scale adoption of social computing. What we witnessed then has been validated in other environments and by the growth of blogs, wikis etc. Give people simple tools with no formal process or designed taxonomy and they will naturally find ways to share and create knowledge. This type of activity is complex, it is not structured and cannot and should not be controlled.

The Chess Master and the Computer - The New York Review of Books - 0 views

  • It was my luck (perhaps my bad luck) to be the world chess champion during the critical years in which computers challenged, then surpassed, human chess players. Before 1994 and after 2004 these duels held little interest. The computers quickly went from too weak to too strong.
  • Having a computer partner also meant never having to worry about making a tactical blunder. The computer could project the consequences of each move we considered, pointing out possible outcomes and countermoves we might otherwise have missed.
  • With that taken care of for us, we could concentrate on strategic planning instead of spending so much time on calculations.

  • The winner was revealed to be not a grandmaster with a state-of-the-art PC but a pair of amateur American chess players using three computers at the same time.
  • The teams of human plus machine dominated even the strongest computers.
  • Their skill at manipulating and "coaching" their computers to look very deeply into positions effectively counteracted the superior chess understanding of their grandmaster opponents and the greater computational power of other participants. Weak human + machine + better process was superior to a strong computer alone and, more remarkably, superior to a strong human + machine + inferior process.
  • correctly evaluating a small handful of moves is far more important in human chess, and human decision-making in general, than the systematically deeper and deeper search for better moves—the number of moves "seen ahead"—that computers rely on.

      interesting. Deserves further reflection on the implicactions.
  • Instead, every year we have new chess programs, and new versions of old ones, that are all based on the same basic programming concepts for picking a move by searching through millions of possibilities that were developed in the 1960s and 1970s.

    A VERY interesting article reflecting on the evolution of chess under the onslaught of computers and software that play chess, and where it has all been going. The implications for Knowledge Management are there, waiting to be picked up. Discussions of tech versus human can be drawn to their ending point with it.
