The\u0000guide highlights the significance of defining a research philosophy and\u0000reasoning by talking about paradigms such as positivism, constructivism and\u0000pragmatism. Besides, it reveals the importance of types of research including\u0000deductive and inductive methodologies; basic versus applied research\u0000approaches. Moreover, this guideline discusses data collection and analysis\u0000intricacies that divide data into quantitative and qualitative typologies. It\u0000explains different ways in which data can be collected from observation to\u0000experimentation, interviews or surveys. It also mentions ethical considerations\u0000in research emphasizing ethical behavior like following academic principles. In\u0000general, this guideline is an essential tool for undertaking computer science\u0000dissertations that help researchers structure their work while maintaining\u0000ethical standards in their study design.","PeriodicalId":501533,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - CS - General Literature","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140831721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By first approximating neural connections\u0000and activities in computer circuits and then creating more and more\u0000sophisticated versions of this crude approximation, we are now facing an age to\u0000come where modern deep learning-based artificial intelligence systems can\u0000rightly be called thinking machines, and they are sometimes even lauded for\u0000their emergent behavior and black-box approaches. But as we create more\u0000powerful electronic brains, with billions of neural connections and parameters,\u0000can we guarantee that these mammoths built of artificial neurons will be able\u0000to forget the data that we store in them? If they are at some level like a\u0000brain, can the right to be forgotten still be protected while dealing with\u0000these AIs? The essential gap between machine learning and the RTBF is explored\u0000in this article, with a premonition of far-reaching conclusions if the gap is\u0000not bridged or reconciled any time soon. The core argument is that deep\u0000learning models, due to their structure and size, cannot be expected to forget\u0000or delete a data as it would be expected from a tabular database, and they\u0000should be treated more like a mechanical brain, albeit still in development.","PeriodicalId":501533,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - CS - General Literature","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140105231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Good at his\u0000university. We wanted to see him was not because he worked with Alan Turing to\u0000help win WWII by decoding encrypted messages from the Germans, although that\u0000certainly intrigued us. Rather, we wanted to see him because we had just\u0000finished reading his book \"Good Thinking,\" which summarized his life's work in\u0000Probability and its Applications. We were graduate students at Stanford working\u0000in AI, and amazed that his thinking was so similar to ours, having worked\u0000decades before us and coming from such a seemingly different perspective not\u0000involving AI. This story is a fitting introduction this manuscript. Now having\u0000years to look back on my work, to boil it down to its essence, and to better\u0000appreciate its significance (if any) in the evolution of AI and ML, I realized\u0000it was time to put my work in perspective, providing a roadmap to any who would\u0000like to explore it.
