Study Notes

Business Process Management

The purpose of running 'what-if analysis' on business processes is to identify potential risks and opportunities for improvement.
The execution phase of business process management involves the automated execution of business processes using BPM software.
A critical component of a BMP Suite is the workflow engine that automates and monitors the execution of business processes.
BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) diagrams are used as business process modeling examples.

BPM Life-Cycle Activities

The main focus of Business Process Management (BPM) is to continuously improve business processes by modeling, executing, monitoring, and optimizing them.
Monitoring belongs to the "Control" category in BPM life-cycle activities.
The aim of 'Process Design' in BPM is to create a detailed design of the process that meets the business requirements.
'Modeling' in BPM involves creating a conceptual representation of the business process using process models.

Neural Networks

The main advantage of using residual blocks in deep neural networks is that they enable the training of much deeper networks.
It is more difficult for deeper neural networks to converge during training because the vanishing gradient problem.
The main purpose of the residual connection (skip connection) in deep neural networks is to address the vanishing gradient problem.
Deeper neural networks are required for better accuracy and performance because they can learn more complex and abstract representations of the data.
The primary function of residual blocks in deep neural networks is to learn residual functions that can be added to the input to produce the output.
In a residual block of ResNets, the purpose of applying an activation function to F(x) + x is to introduce non-linearity in the residual function.
The role of the bottleneck layer in an autoencoder model is to compress the input data into a lower-dimensional representation.
The main function of the decoder in an autoencoder model is to reconstruct the original input data from the compressed representation.
In a vanilla autoencoder, the hidden layer (also called the bottleneck layer) compresses the input data into a lower-dimensional representation.
The key idea behind an autoencoder model's learning process is to learn an efficient representation of the input data by reconstructing it from the compressed representation.
