Study Notes
Natural Language Processing Focus
- Understanding and processing human language for computers.
- Analyzing, interpreting, and generating human language.
Non-NLP Technique
- Image Recognition: Primarily deals with visual data, not language processing.
Part-of-Speech Tagging
- Assigning grammatical tags (noun, verb, adjective) to words in a sentence.
NLP Application
- Chatbots: A primary example of NLP's application in conversational AI.
NLP Challenge
- Ambiguity: Human language's inherent ambiguity and context-dependency poses a challenge.
Transformers in NLP
- A powerful neural network architecture designed for sequence modeling.
- They excel in tasks like translation and text generation, due to their ability to capture long-range dependencies.
Text Reduction
- Text Summarization: Condenses text into a shorter version while retaining key information.
NLP Future Direction
- Multimodality: Integrating NLP with other modalities (vision, audio) for a more comprehensive understanding of information.
Classical Mechanics
- Branch of physics that studies the motion of objects and the forces acting upon them.
Key Concepts
-
Newton's Laws of Motion:
- First Law (Inertia): An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
- Second Law (F=ma): The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This means a greater force produces greater acceleration, and a larger mass has lower acceleration for the same force.
- Third Law (Action-Reaction): For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means forces always come in pairs, and for every force applied there's an equal force acting in the opposite direction.
-
Kinematics: The study of motion without considering forces. It focuses on the description of motion, including displacement, velocity, and acceleration.
-
Displacement: Change in position of an object. It involves both magnitude (distance moved) and direction, making it a vector.
-
Velocity: Rate of change of displacement. It's also a vector, defined as the speed of an object in a specific direction.
-
Acceleration: Rate of change of velocity. It represents how quickly the object is changing its velocity, considering both speed and direction.
-
Dynamics: The study of forces and their effects on motion. It uses Newton's laws to understand how forces cause changes in an object's motion.
-
Force: It's a push or pull that can cause an object to accelerate or change its state of motion.
-
Types of Forces:
- Gravitational Force: Attract all objects with mass, proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
- Normal Force: Perpendicular force exerted by a surface on an object in contact with it, preventing it from passing through the surface.
- Frictional Force: Resistive force acting parallel to the surface between two objects in contact, opposing their relative motion.
- Tension Force: Force transmitted through a rope, cable, or similar object when pulled taut.
Energy
- Kinetic Energy (KE): Energy possessed by an object due to its motion. It depends on the object's mass and velocity, with the formula ( KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 ).
-
Potential Energy (PE): Stored energy due to an object's position or configuration.
- Gravitational Potential Energy: Energy stored due to an object's height above the ground, calculated as ( PE = mgh ).
- Work: Transfer of energy when a force is applied over a distance. The amount of work done is calculated as ( W = F \cdot d \cdot \cos(\theta) ), where (\theta) is the angle between the force and displacement vectors.
Conservation Laws
- Conservation of Energy: The total energy within a closed system remains constant, although it can transform between different forms (e.g., kinetic to potential).
- Conservation of Momentum: In a closed system, the total momentum before an event equals the total momentum after the event. Momentum is a measure of the mass and velocity of an object.
Motion Types
- Uniform Motion: Constant velocity; the object travels equal distances in equal time intervals, meaning its speed and direction remain constant.
-
Accelerated Motion: Change in the velocity of an object over time.
- Uniform Acceleration: Occurs when the object's velocity changes at a constant rate, meaning it changes the same amount each second.
- Non-Uniform Acceleration: Occurs when the object's velocity changes at a variable rate, meaning it changes by different amounts each second.
Circular Motion
- Uniform Circular Motion: Motion of an object in a circular path at a constant speed, but constantly changing direction. Requires a centripetal force to keep it moving in a circle.
- Centripetal Acceleration: Acceleration directed towards the center of the circle, responsible for changing the object's direction as it moves in a circle. Its magnitude is given by ( a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} ), where (v) is the object's speed and (r) is the radius of the circle.
Systems in Classical Mechanics
- Free Body Diagrams: Visual representation of an object, illustrating all the forces acting on it. Each force is shown as an arrow with its tail at the center of the object and pointing in the direction of the force.
-
Mass vs. Weight: Mass refers to the amount of matter an object contains and is a fundamental property of an object, measured in kilograms (kg).
- Weight refers to the force of gravity acting on an object with mass. It’s directly proportional to the object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity.
- Weight is measured in Newtons (N) and is given by ( W = mg ).
Applications
- Projectiles: Objects that are launched into the air and affected by gravity and air resistance, like a ball thrown upwards or a bullet fired from a gun.
-
Collisions: Interactions between two or more objects, categorized as:
- Elastic Collisions: Kinetic energy is conserved, meaning the total kinetic energy of the objects before and after the collision remains the same.
- Inelastic Collisions: Kinetic energy is not conserved during the collision, meaning some of the kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy, like heat or sound.
Important Units
- Force: Newton (N)
- Mass: Kilogram (kg)
- Acceleration: Meters per second squared (m/s²)
- Energy: Joule (J)
- Work: Joule (J)
