Structuring Knowledge Bases with AI and Machine Learning

In today's world, it is no longer enough for a company to have a better product or service than its competitors to survive and grow. A customer-obsessed attitude is required for businesses to survive and grow. As we all know, competitors can typically quickly duplicate any new market position and even do it better than the organization that started the idea. The more business knowledge your team members have about the products and services your consumers use, the more successful your company will be. You, as an organization, should be swift in responding to your customers' demands to react to the competitive changes in the market. One of the key tools needed for a quick response to this effect is the Knowledge Base System (KBS). This tool can be an internal tool for your employees or an external tool for your customers. This will support the decision-making process, information sharing, products, services, etc. Most organizations have this tool but are not well structured. There is no single correct way to build a knowledge base, but there are multiple methods, each with its own set of advantages and quirks. However, if you follow some basic guidelines, you can be sure that your customers or employees will not get lost in the process. The most basic content format in the knowledge base is an article with text. However, it can include screenshots, photos, videos, audio, and infographics. We can further implement a knowledge-based system with artificial intelligence (AI), which gives room for more productivity in an organization. One thing that constitutes or destroys your knowledge base is its structure. Just like a dictionary won't serve its purpose unless it’s organized alphabetically, a cluttered or disorganized knowledge base will confuse your customers and your employees rather than lead them to a solution. You can convert knowledge base articles into FAQs, product manuals, troubleshooting guides, etc. A knowledge-based system might be a game changer for your organization if you want to make your clients happy. In this article, I will walk through the objectives, scope, strategy, and all you should keep in mind when you're building a knowledge base system for your organization.

The Importance of Patents for Scientists

Patents have become a hot topic and the subject of much media attention. If your main source of information about patents is the newspapers, you could be forgiven for having an extremely distorted view of what patents are, what they do, and what benefits and problems are associated with them. All scientists want to be able to improve the world in some way, whether by contributing in a fundamental way to the fund of human knowledge or by delivering new and valuable technology. If you are a scientist making inventions, it is increasingly important that you should have an understanding of the importance of patents in the modern world, and should have sufficient understanding of the patent system to make sure that your aims for your inventions are achievable. This talk sets out some basic facts about patents and also de-bunks some the most common misapprehensions about patents

Educational and Autoeducational Value of Autobiographical Writings

AbstractRecently, the high educational and autoeducational value, functions and meanings of autobiographical writings, as evidenced by the numerous studies and research about (i.e. Demetrio, Alberici, Merrill, West, etc.), gas been increasingly discovered and widespread. The autobiographical writings, in fact, allow you to retrace your life, events, people, places, the most important objects, to discover new meanings to the experiences, to be able to orient themselves in decision-making, interpersonal relationships, to plan efficiently your lives, to produce new knowledge and learning, to feel satisfaction and wellbeing too. This paper will present some results of a research based on an original autobiographical format administered to a group of adults attending a yoga class or yoga trainers, in order to analyze the meanings that they have recognized about some events and choices during their lifetime, in a lifelong and lifewide learning and education perspective

Knowledge Diffusion via AUTomated Organizational CARTography [AUTOCART]

The Post-Globalisation aeon has placed businesses everywhere in new and different competitive situations where knowledgeable, effective and efficient behaviour has come to provide the competitive and comparative edge. Enterprises have turned to explicit- and even conceptualising on tacit- Knowledge Management to elaborate a systematic approach to develop and sustain the Intellectual Capital needed to succeed. To be able to do that, you have to be able to visualize your organization as consisting of nothing but knowledge and knowledge flows, whilst being presented in a graphical and visual framework, referred to as automated organizational cartography. Hence, creating the ability of further actively classifying existing organizational content evolving from and within data feeds, in an algorithmic manner, hence potentially giving insightful schemes and dynamics by which organizational know-how is visualised. It is discussed and elaborated on most recent and applicable definitions and classifications of knowledge management, representing a wide range of views from mechanistic (systematic, data driven) to a more socially (psychologically, cognitive/metadata driven) orientated. More elaborate continuum models, for knowledge acquisition and reasoning purposes, are being used for effectively representing the domain of information that an end user may contain in their decision making process for utilization of available organizational intellectual resource

Introduction to the mobile application development with an example of a "PhraseBook app"

The aim of this project is to combine and apply the knowledge and experience obtained along this master degree and try to create a market opportunity by developing mobile applications for iPhone devices. The idea is not to become a full time mobile developer but perhaps a passive player with some income stream. I am well aware that the battle of mobile applications is brutal and some competitors are way beyond the rest, with great capital behind them and with excellent programing skills. Still the experience, the time invested along with hard work can only bring good results. This effort may not be reflected in an overnight minor fortune, but its about daring to compete, learn fast and adapt and show what your capable of. The project arises as a curiosity to discover how mobile app are created, what it takes to start building your own application, what do you need to know to develop one. My inclination to start testing on Apple’s iPhone is because I currently own a MacBook and an iPhone 4 device. I am familiar with the Mac environment and I have a preference for Apple’s software, I also find the iPhone operating system quite interesting and therefor I am curious to know what is behind its impressive performance. One of the most interesting things I find about this project is the set of skills you need to have to start creating applications. You should be able not only to program what your idea is about but also in designing what your idea is going to look like. A developer must create the code that is going to be the backbone of the application and also he must create all the graphic environment that is going to represent that code making it appealing for the user. When thinking about what you are going to build you should as well think about how it is going to be represented, like the colors, the orientation of the phone whether it is going to be landscape or portrait, the buttons, the tab bars, sounds, video, wether it is going to use internet connection or not. All this aspects have to be taken into account at the same time you are trying to figure how to write down all that you want your application to do. So you must combine your creativity and your technical skills to fulfill all that you want your application to do
