AP CSP - U6 Review | WHPS Conard High School CHS

What geolocation data is typically collected by tracking collars for wild animals?

Time; date; and location

Can tracking collar data alone answer if an animal travels in groups with other tracked animals?

No

Can movement patterns related to weather be answered solely by geolocation data?

No

What specific data points does a clothing store record for items sold?

Item sold; sale date; sale price; and store location

Which question can be answered by clothing store data: 'Which jackets are most popular' or 'Does a store need socks'?

Which jackets are most popular

Can clothing store sales data determine the gender of the shoppers?

No

On a social media site; what is considered the actual 'data' vs metadata?

The message itself is data

What is an example of metadata stored for social media posts?

Time of post; username; or names of commenters

Is metadata or message data better for determining the topics users are posting about?

Message data

Which is better for determining the most active time of day: message data or metadata?

Metadata

How many bytes are in exactly one kilobyte?

1024

Name one common challenge of working with Big Data.

Sorting the data or avoiding bias

What is the primary computing innovation described in the article by Ashley Huff?

The memcapacitor

What does the term 'neuromorphic' mean in the context of computing?

Brain-like

What type of soft materials are used to mimic biomembranes in a memcapacitor?

Lipids

How is a memcapacitor fundamentally different from a regular capacitor?

It can 'remember' a previously applied voltage

What physical change does a synthetic membrane undergo to process information?

It changes surface area and thickness based on electrical activity

What is a distinct feature of traditional digital computers regarding processing and memory?

Processing and memory are separate

What causes the inherent bottleneck in traditional computer architecture?

Transferring information back and forth between the hard drive and the central processor

Where are memory and signal processing located in neuromorphic computing?

They are co-located in memory elements

Name the three types of 'memelements' mentioned in the unit review.

Memristors; memcapacitors; and meminductors

What are two major advantages of systems designed with memelements?

Scalability and low power consumption

What is 'edge computing' as described in the review sources?

Technologies not connected to a cloud that make on-the-fly decisions based on sensory input

Why is biological sensing currently superior to digital computation?

It can pick out a single molecule of a specific odor or taste

Digital computation is built around what specific binary language?

Ones and zeros

What factor 'shapes' the neural network in a biological brain?

Learning

What are 'spiking' neural networks intended to simulate?

The way neurons spike with electrical potential to pass signals

What is the basic function of a memristor in a network?

It weighs information via conductance to determine if a signal is strong enough to broadcast

What additional capability does the memcapacitor have over the basic memristor?

It can store energy as an electric charge in the membrane

What activity of biological neurons does the memcapacitor enable in dense networks?

Integrate and fire activity

What data is consumed or transformed by the memcapacitor innovation?

Electric signals

In the clothing store example; what can 'sale date' data help determine?

When sales are at their lowest

Can geolocation data answer in what geographic locations an animal typically travels?

Yes

What is the ultimate goal of tapping into biology for computing?

To carve out an alternative path to artificial intelligence

Approximately how many miles an animal traveled in a week can be determined by what data?

Geolocation data (time; date; and location)

How does machine learning differ from traditional programming?

ML learns from data and adapts while traditional follows fixed instructions

What stage of AI development is represented by the Google Quick Draw tool?

Limited Memory

What type of machine learning is image classification an example of?

Supervised Learning

What is reinforcement learning?

A model trained by rewards or punishments based on its actions

What is algorithmic bias?

When an AI model produces prejudiced results based on biased or incomplete training data

What is 'feedback loop' bias in machine learning?

When biased data is fed back into an algorithm; causing more biased results over time

What does the term 'Big Data' refer to?

Data sets too large and complex to process on a single computer

In the DIKW pyramid; what is 'information'?

Data that has been organized or visualized

What does 'data science' refer to?

Manipulating large data sets to gain information from them

In Google Sheets; what does sorting 'Z to A' do to a column of heights?

Puts the tallest person on top

What is a 'hypothesis' in data analysis?

A best guess at the connection between two variables; often in 'If…then' format

What does a positive correlation mean in data relationships?

As one variable increases; the other one increases too

Which Google Sheets formula is used to calculate the average of a column?

=average(cell range)

What is a Pivot Table specifically used for in Google Sheets?

To summarize data using specific categories

In data cleaning; what does 'whitespace' refer to?

Spaces that do not need to be in a data file and can affect analysis
