1 Million Reasons to Focus on STEM Jobs

CSTEM

The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the most robust growth in Computers & Mathematics, Architecture and Engineering. Thanks to COVID-19, Life, Physical, and Social Science are included in the most robust projected growth areas. Over the coming decade, even more, opportunities will continue to open up.

How can we unravel the complex history of networks?

Futurum

Dr Min Xu, a statistician specialising in network analysis at Rutgers University, has developed a probabilistic model that can determine how a network has grown, which not only has applications in epidemiology, but is also useful in social science, genetics and counter-terrorism efforts. What is a network? “A

The power of geographic information systems: bringing data to life with maps

Futurum

I started studying architecture, but after two weeks, I realised I didn’t want to study buildings. I wanted to study something living, so I switched to an animal science program. I began my career in the technical side of GIS, but I have been wooed to the social sciences.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

Perhaps even the architecture of the network can change. Probably it’s because neural nets capture the architectural essence of actual brains. But what if we just set up neural nets with a given architecture, and pick their weights at random? But one can’t have a truly “model-less model”. Let’s look at a very simple case.

Creating software that works for everyone

Futurum

Smart parking app software architecture and key software structures. John agrees that combining studies in computing with science, social science or business courses will not only give you a broader education but will allow you to apply your software engineering skills in a wider range of applications (e.g., © IEEE 2021.

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

Inevitably there has to be some underlying model for how to do that following—typically in practice just defined by “what a neural net with a certain architecture will do”. We’ll be able to say some things—though perhaps in ways that are closer to psychology or social science than to traditional exact science.
