    Intelligence Each Person is Intelligent in Different Ways that is What Makes Each Individual Special is Not Being the Same in the Brain
    2008-06-22 22:17:34
    Intelligence is not based on a grade in school or on a test on piece of paper. Or how many books a person reads or books written. Each person is intelligent in different ways. We each have strong skills that make us special in our own way. If we were all the same everything around us would be exactly the same too. The beauty of all of us having different talents means it creates everything around us to actually work together. I hate how everyone rates intelligence when we are all very intelligen

    Intelligence Officials: Dozens of Europeans Have Trained in Terror Camps in Pakistan
    2008-06-22 05:06:00
    Dozens of white Europeans have trained in terrorist camps in Pakistan's tribal regions in recent months, U.S. intelligence sources tell ABC News, in what officials fear may be the beginnings of a new breed of al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorism."Al-Qa'ida is improving the last key aspect of its ability to attack the U.S.: the identification, training and positioning of operatives for an attack in the Homeland," according to a February Threat Assessment report from the Director of National Intelligence."[W]e have seen an influx of new Western recruits into the tribal area since mid-2006," the report said.They're recruiting operatives from Europe. Why? If you're from Europe, it doesn't require a visa to fly to the United States," Mike McConnell, the director of National Intelligence, said in a speech in March. More...

    The Benefits Of Artificial Intelligence In Computer Games

    One of the buzz words in computer gaming today is ‘artificial intelligence’. All right, so that’s two words really, but let’s not be too picky. What does it mean? Artificial intelligence is a phrase that has been around for years, and basically describes the ability of a computer to give the impression that it is [...]

    Menendez says latest report on pre-war intelligence backs up McClellan's book claims
    2008-06-06 08:06:00
    WASHINGTON — The Senate Intelligence Committee released the final portions of its report on pre-war Iraq intelligence, showing that the Bush Administration repeatedly communicated information about Iraq that was not supported by the intelligence community and not reflective of disagreements within the intelligence community. This report dovetails with the information revealed in former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan’s book, "What Happened," which details a concerted and orchestrated effort by the administration to manipulate public opinion in selling the war.U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-Hoboken, is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and, as a member of the House of Representatives, voted against the original Iraq War resolution in 2002. Today, he said the Intelligence Committee report is important not just to show the recklessness of the war, but also to help avoid such a rush to war from ever happening again.“It has been clear for a while that the ru

    A Needed Push in the Intelligence Community
    2008-05-22 10:37:31
    Mike McConnell, the director for national intelligence, recently announced a significant revision in how members of the Intelligence Community will be paid. Rather than rewarding employees for simply putting in time, the new pay system seeks to reward performance. As McConnell said, you usually get the behavior you reward. It is undoubtedly something of a risk, but there is little doubt that it is vitally necessary as a way to reward innovation and those who take a modicum of risk in their jobs,...(read more)

    Human Consciousness, Intelligence May Suddenly Shift
    2008-05-14 20:41:00
    By Steve HammonsIn The American Chronicle Many researchers have hypothesized and attempted to prove that human consciousness is undergoing significant change.This alleged change is not just increased intellectual knowledge or even social networking via the internet and other mass media.Rather, people from diverse fields including, but not limited to, various sciences, education, defense and intelligence communities, psychology and spirituality have conducted research about the fundamental nature of individual and group changes in human consciousness.That is, our individual awareness is purported to be increasingly linked with a larger energy or field in terms of quantum physics theories, spiritual concepts and Nature in ways we may not fully understand at this time.Over the last few decades, research into extra-sensory perception (ESP), "anomalous cognition" (unusual or unconventional awareness or abilities), "remote viewing" (ESP methods developed in Project STARGATE by the U.S. milit

    The Origin of business intelligence:
    2008-05-13 05:58:19
    This post discusses about the origin of business intelligence technique The origins of business intelligence may be traced back to the first data processing applications, which were simple applications such as accounts payable and receivable. These applications ran on sequential technology, such as magnetic and paper tapes.Using sequential media for storage meant the entire file had to be accessed, even if onlya fraction of the file was needed. Oxide often stripped off of magnetic tapes, and entirefiles were lost. These issues led to the need for a new way to analyze information.Early Data Processing Applications: With sequential storage, data was organized onto what was called a master file, which held central information that was useful to many applications. Punch cards, magnetic tapes, and reports were generated from the applications, but were soon replaced by disk storage. With disk storage, data could be accessed directly and efficiently. Processors grew more powerful and v

    Chrysler Gas Card Incentive; Smart Advertising Or Insult To Intelligence?
    2008-05-11 13:38:00
    With Gas Prices rising higher and higher, Chrysler has come up with a promotion to help you spend less at the pump, I think!The May Gas incentive for Chrysler works like this. If you buy a Chrysler, Jeep, or Dodge during may you will only pay $2.99 for gas for 3 years. "Lets Refuel America" is the slogan tag line.Now, for the limitations. You have to use your credit card to purchase the gas and the amount over $2.99 will be billed back to Chrysler. You have to give up rebate money to receive this gas offer. Strike #3, the gas savings are covered for 12000 miles of driving per year for 3 years. And, it does not cover some of the gas guzzlers like the Wrangler, Viper, and Dodge Challenger.I think customers are tired of all the sales gimmicks that are only designed to drive sales and are not for the customer at all. Why not give the customer the rebate and take the gas savings out of the profit of the car? Why not load a card with $1000 that can be used for anything the customer wants to

    Yureekah: Competitive Intelligence for Online Brand Advertisers
    2008-05-10 14:49:34
    Currently in private alpha Yureekah has launched a free competitive intelligence tool that allows media planners to figure out where is competition advertising on the internet and allow them to plan their campaigns to counter them. For example this search of Chevrolet in the picture confirmed me that Chevrolet is advertising on Yahoo India however I have only an hour ago seen the Chevrolet ad on Rediff also which this tool missed which shows that Yureekah still needs to be ironed out.The site is limited to 4 countries India,USA,UAE,UK and only for display advertising which is the domain of big brand advertising and doesn't support contextual advertising. Yureekah is targeted at advertisers, media agencies, and small and medium sized business owners. The Monetization of Yureekah is to be done in future with the launch of more in depth services maybe.Devaraj Southworth, one of the creators of Yureekah said the idea stemmed from his own company's needs.

    Double the Price Equals Less Intelligence
    2008-04-05 03:10:53
    You thought 42” HDTV upgrade to 50” HDTV; an 8” increase in display real estate costing about double the price is ridiculous? Well then, you have not seen the 5” upgrade that cost double the price. Ok, now for the grizzly details. Let me tell you its price tag first. The 65” Fujitsu Plasmavision P65FT00AUB Plasma HDTV has a meteorological $18,000 price tag. It is double the price of a 60-inch Pioneer Elite KURO display sold at $7,500. Plus, it lacks any sound system, the display quality is nothing to shout about, & add another $2000 then you can buy a comparable display from Runco with an external video processor box to boot. Furthermore, there are many better options for having an impressive home theater system at $18,000.One of the typical high end solution would be to buy a wall-mounted 60-inch Pioneer Elite KURO & a midrange projector (Sony's VPL-VW60 or a JVC's DLA-HD1, a deluxe motorized drop-down 16:9 screen in the 110-inch range, a decent home theater sound sy

    Game of Intelligence

    A blonde chick found herself sitting next to a lawyer on an airplane. Bored, the lawyer kept bugging the blonde wanting her to play a game of intelligence (lawyers like easy prey). Finally, the lawyer offered her 10 to 1 odds, said every time the blonde could not answer one of his questions she owed him $5, but every time he could not answer hers he’d give her $50.00. The lawyer figured he could not lose, and the blonde reluctantly accepted.The lawyer first asked, “What is the distance between the Earth and the nearest star?” Without saying a word the blonde handed him $5.The blonde then asked, “What goes up a hill with 3 legs and comes back down the hill with 4 legs?”The lawyer looked puzzled. He spent nearly an hour, looking up everything he could on his laptop and even placing numerous air-to-ground phone calls, trying to find the answer. Finally, angry and frustrated, he gave up and paid the blonde $50.00The blonde put the $50 into her purse without comment, but the lawye

    How to create artificial intelligence in your spare time
    2008-03-19 12:44:54
    One of the most popular futurist hobbyhorses is the idea that artificially intelligent machines will soon become ubiquitous and change the world forever. This is an old dream, which may have started with Isaac Asimov's idea that superintelligent computers would take over the geo-political management of Earth (see the final story in I, Robot) and create a more rational world. Early computer geeks like Alan Turing imagined that AI would simply be a perfected human brain, sentient but far more powerful and capable of solving problems humans can't. Most scientists and futurists agree that true AI has the potential to create a better world, but what can you put on your to-do list today that will help make AI a reality in fifty years? Actually, there's quite a lot. read more

    Artificial Imitation Intelligence

    Blogger Justin James writes: "I finally found time to play the video game F.E.A.R. a few months ago, and I was initially impressed by the artificial intelligence (AI). The enemy soldiers appeared to work together towards a common goal (i.e., finding and killing my character); they seemed to use realistic tactics (such as taking cover and providing suppressing fire for advancing teammates); and they would flank me. But after a certain point, the AI seemed more like “artificial imitation intelligence” (or “AII”), which is a term I made up. “AII” does not try to be AI; it is an intelligent system that tries to imitate intelligence. The test for “AII” is fairly simple: Does someone think they are encountering intelligence at least part of the time?" read more

    Nissan Australia wants "intelligence" on grey-imported GT-Rs
    2008-03-17 04:20:21
    One of the few problems with being the purveyors of a highly desired commodity is that people will do anything to get their hands on it, sometimes before you're willing to give it to them. Such is the case with Nissan and people importing GT-R's into Australia through the "grey-market." A supposedly leaked memo from Nissan Australia to dealers Down Under requests that they keep an eye out for grey-market GT-Rs and to send in a tip to Nissan HQ reporting the "potential damage" and "stolen customers" that the vehicles are apparently causing. While we understand that Nissan is trying to protect sales, the fact remains that if the GT-R was obtained through legal means, there's not much they can do about it. And we highly doubt that many of Nissan's potential customers are going to go through the hassle of importing a GT-R when sales are expected to being in the early part of 2009.随机文章:2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe gets web-assisted early unveiling 2

    The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) was initially directly aimed at the construction of ‘thinking machines’ -- that is, computer systems with human-like general intelligence. But this task proved more difficult than expected. As the years passed, AI researchers gradually shifted focus to producing AI systems that intelligently approached specific tasks in relatively narrow domains. In recent years, however, more and more AI researchers have recognized the necessity -- and the feasibility -- of returning to the original goal of the field. read more

    2008 is the year for business intelligence

    Being passionate about what one does, focusing on ones strengths, and thinking big are really the keys (in my opinion) to being successful, regardless of whether you’re an entrepreneur, professional or businessperson. And without sounding like some English traditionalist, I think these words are very fitting for what 2008 lies in stall for many of [...]

    Intelligence and Communication (The Essential Cat)
    2007-12-14 22:33:00
    A cat is a very intelligent creature - as a usually solitary, self-reliant hunter it has to be. It has to learn to calculate, to solve problems and to be versatile. It is rather a waste of time discussing the comparative intelligence levels of various animal species. People often do it, but they have no reliable yardstick with which to measure this quality we call "intelligence". Cultural differences even between the various groups or races in a single species, homosapiens, are notorious for distorting the results of "intelligence tests". And this is the only species with which we can truly communicate by means of a common language!An imperfect but at least objective method has been to compare brain weight with length of spinal chord. This gives a ratio that roughly indicates how much brain controls how much body. The human ratio is 50:1, a monkey's 18:1 and a cat's 4:1. But does this permit us to say that a human being is over ten times more intelligent than a cat?Learning and memoryCats do learn well, and for many of life's activities they must learn rather than rely on instinct. Hunting is not instinctive but learned from observation, as is the use of a litter tray. In the latter case the teacher is either the mother cat or a human companion.Such learning by example merges with the ability to be positively trained. Cats can be trained to perform tricks, though they do not respond well to coersion (even though I admit that some circus big cats in the old days were "tamed" by unacceptably cruel methods). They are easier to train by rewards, but even so, cats don't show the eagerness to be trained that we see in dogs. Despite a plentiful source of attractive rewards in the form of tasty titbits, they will only co-operate if they feel in the mood. You can't buy cats - that's part of their independent nature.The feline memory is well developed and most domestic cats learn such useful knacks as tapping on window panes to gain entrance, opening a door by jumping f

    Fluid versus Static Intelligence
    2007-11-21 12:42:00
    "An individual's level of fluid intelligence can be determined based on the degree to which he or she is able to let go of previously held conceptions on encountering reliable information or experiences which show these conceptions to be mistaken or overly simplistic. At the other end of the spectrum from fluid intelligence is static intelligence. When those with a high degree of static intelligence encounter information which seriously questions the established paradigm, they attempt to discredit the new information using laws and principles previously agreed upon under the old paradigm. If they fail at this, the new information is then deemed not worthy of study and discarded. At worst, the new evidence is actively attacked as being irrational or unscientific, even though it may be easily verified."

    Competitive intelligence technique:
    2007-11-10 05:31:50
    Competitive intelligence is the process of enhancing marketplace competitiveness through a greater, yet legal and ethical, understanding of a firm's competitors and the competitive environment by analyzing rivals' moves. Competitive intelligence allows companies to anticipate market developments rather than merely react to them. One of the most obvious features of Internet, especially when used with major search engines, is its ability to reveal large quantities of non-standardized information. To avoid information overload it is necessary to focus on specific sites, companies, products etc. This is not difficult in CI, where much information gathering is done by company or product name. Evaluating data is a further problem. Many of the clues which librarians have traditionally used to identify quality information, such as affiliation of the author, reputation of the publisher or journal, are absent from Internet.Each specific item must be evaluated from the point of view of the context where it was found, and also in relation to other information on the same subject, either from Internet or from a database, periodical etc. Information from a source generally considered of good quality, which coincides with what is learnt from other sources, can be considered accurate. Final verification depends on somebody going out into the field and confirming the information via observation or personal contact. How to acquire information step by step: Ask questions: If you come across or are offered competitive information and believe that it may be confidential or proprietary ask questions to find out how the information was obtained, or why it was made available. Be ethical: How would you or your business react if you found out that your competitors were receiving the kind of information that you acquired? Breaking the law has consequences: Breaking the law can also result in adverse publicity to your company. Think about how you'd feel if your actions were publicl

    Israel enhances military intelligence capabilities versus Iran in its first double spacecraft liftoff with India
    2007-09-18 20:11:00
    DEBKA - US and Indian military sources say that, if successful, the twin launch by the same Polaris/TecSat vehicle Sept. 17-20 will add Israel to the few nations with imaging radar reconnaissance satellites able to distinguish camouflaged vehicles from rocky terrain – by night and through foliage.The Israeli military satellite will lift off along with India’s first military recon spacecraft, Cartosat 2A. They will be fired in an approximately 600-km polar orbit atop the same Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle from an island in the Bay of Bengal. The data-gathering features of Polaris 1 are especially pertinent for a potential attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.Israeli satellite’s ability to “see through” cloud and foliage and distinguish between camouflaged vehicles and rocks, provide an answer for Iran’s ingenious camouflaging methods employed by Hizballah in the 2006 Lebanese war.

    Agent Intelligence Through Data Mining

MitkasPaperback: 206 pagesPublisher: Springer; 1 edition (April 2006)Language: EnglishISBN: 0387243526(R)Knowledge, hidden in voluminous data repositories routinely created and maintained by today’s applications, can be extracted by data mining. The next step is to transform this discovered knowledge into the inference mechanisms or simply the behavior of agents and multi-agent systems. Agent Intelligence Through Data Mining addresses this issue, as well as the arguable challenge of generating intelligence from data while transferring it to a separate, possibly autonomous, software entity. This book contains a methodology, tools and techniques, and several examples of agent-based applications developed with this approach. This volume focuses mainly on the use of data mining for smarter, more efficient agents.Agent Intelligence Through Data Mining is designed for a professional audience of researchers and practitioners in

    The ‘National Intelligence Estimate’: With Translations into English
    2007-07-19 05:18:24
    The most recent ‘National Intelligence Estimate‘ is out. Perhaps some of you have seen it. I took a read. It was shorter than I expected, only seven pages, but for those extremely read-ophobic out there, the first five pages concern how the document was compiled, who compiled it, and such like. Skip to page six. Even better, just keep reading. Now, I have a hard time believing anything put out by this administration or by any agency even remotely connected to it, but lets put that aside and run with this one. We judge the US Homeland will face a persistent and evolving terrorist threat over the next three years. The main threat comes from Islamic terrorist groups and cells, especially al-Qa’ida, driven by their undiminished intent to attack the Homeland and a continued effort by these terrorist groups to adapt and improve their capabilities.

    Just as the editors at TJI were putting the final touches on a feature article about Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chris Chambers, a shocking headline came across the TJI ticker...Chris Chambers has been booked in Charlotte, NC for Driving While Impaired. According to the AP, in addition to DWI, Chambers was charged with speeding and reckless driving. According to some TJI staffers, several profanity-laced tirades were immediately spewed forth by a number of editors.The article, you see, was a finely crafted piece singing the praises of Chambers and encouraging all our readers to draft him. We were expecting him to put up big numbers in 2007 and we devoted 13 paragraphs to extolling his many virtues. We can't confirm this yet, but Chambers just might have been tipping a few back last night in celebration of the publication of this terrific article.Now, were this the old NFL, our first reaction would be "Who cares?"

    Dynamic Interaction/Types of Intelligence:Part One
    2007-04-30 19:03:00
    I've spoken before about the need to create a "dynamic" flow of information, analysis and public policy creation as opposed to the "static" method most organizations now employ. I've also expressed the opinion that we need to broaden the number of individuals involved in the process and allow for a wide range of ability and talent (multi-disciplinary) in determining public policy for Long Island.This is just one of many theories on types of intelligence, but I think it simplifies (for the time being) the concept in a way that is immediately understandable.
