Need ideas for independent study Suggestions for pre-uni student
Need ideas for independent study Hi everyone, I have always used this site for advice for projects and stuff related to college work, so I thought that I would try my luck again. Im about to go onto a pathway course in Uni and Ive got to hand in a proposal for an independent study. Problem is, Ive got no ideas on what I want to do. I figure that I really like the Internet and equally like the idea of Artificial Intelligence ( my favourite area is probs. NLP, though I like all areas! :s ) What I was hoping someone could do is fire ideas at me so I could perhaps trigger a brain cell of my own. My other interests are important too ( I figure that these could somehow be used alongside AI for my independent study in some way ): Graphic Design Martial Arts / Boxing Computer: Web Design / Development AI Internet: File swapping Message boards Programming Computer games Chatting ( Instant Messengers ) Movies Music I was thinking ideas along the lines of using AI to develope web sites ( like the AI does it on its own ), I know this has been done before, but forgot the address, and figured this could be fun and challenging. I was also thinking about data minining, but with so many good search engines out there, what would be useful? Anything put in reply would be a god-send. Cheers, Mike | flyingbuddha 14 posts.

Attempt It seems everyone is being shy... so I'll just dump my brain: - Two boxers that insult and punch each other -- both cause damage, physical or psychological. Either they pass out of pain, or start crying from the verbal abuse. - A smart message board that learns what messages to filter out based on the webmaster's past actions (trolls, advertising, spam, insults) - Grouping related movies -- based on titles, age rating, user preferences, group the films by category: people that liked this also liked this. - Given lots of similar files, find out which ones are actually the same thing (conceptually). I.e. the same song at a different encoding rate, different filename, two different HTML files with the same article. - A side that designs itself to minimise the mouse movement and clicks (would need a lot of users). That's it, I'm dry. I'll come back if I can think of anything else :) Anything interesting you? | Alex J. Champandard 934 posts. Sunday 26 May, 15:51 Reply
Didn't get emailed to say you had replied. Hi The smart message board sounds ok. The movie idea sounds like something from play.com or amazon so I dont think I will go for that. I like the sound of the comparison one, but feel that has been done with the file swapping programs, and a site that designs itself was one of my main thoughts ( I was gonna propose it on here ). As for the boxers, nice. So there you go. Im thinking of adaptive websites. Just need to come up with one more idea so I can go and suggest them. | flyingbuddha 14 posts. Monday 27 May, 04:31 Reply
