Professor Creates His Own Cisco Manual

yootje writes "ZDnet is running a story about a professor who made his own Cisco networking textbook, with 800 pages: "Computing instructor Matt Basham's suggestions for improving Cisco Systems' official training manuals fell on deaf ears for years. But he appears to have the networking giant's attention now." The professor made his book available for free on his website."

consult with/trust in yOUR creators.... providing crystal clear, newclear powered, directions, since/until forever.

see you there?

Other Professor Creates His Own Mentifex AI Manual

[Mentifex]

Los 34 Modulos de AI4U is a similar example of an academic professor creating his own instructional materials, in his own language (Spanish), for the needs of his own academic curriculum (artificial intelligence).
The AGI Mail List on Artificial General Intelligence provides more details about the {gasp!} AGI Cognitive Architecture that has escaped from our English-speaking world into the Spanish nuevo mundo. Alife Main AI Program Loop calls the following mind-modules:

• enBoot (English Bootstrap to introduce a few concepts and structures)

• Security (for both robot and human safety and for housekeeping)
  • HCI (Human-Computer Interaction for the operator of an AI)
  • Rejuvenate (for cyborg immortality -- death comes only by misadventure)
  • psiDecay (for the gradual deactivation of concepts over time)
  • Ego (for resurrecting an artificial intelligence when perhaps brain-dead by misadventure)

• Sensorium (audition, taste, smell, etc., including exotic robot senses)
  • Audition (for an AI robot to have a sense of hearing)
  • Listen (necessary for event-driven hearing and for detecting verbal input)
    --- audSTM (auditory Short Term Memory with associative tags for pattern recognition)
    --- --- audRecog (auditory pattern Recognition of heard sounds and phonemes)
  • oldConcept (for the recognition of words already known to the AI)
    --- Parser (for the identification of parts of speech in word-recognition)
    --- --- Instantiate (to create an instance or concept-node on a concept-fiber)
    --- Activate (to reactivate the concepts of words already known by an AI)
    --- --- spreadAct (spreading Activation by association from concept to concept)
  • newConcept (contributes to machine learning of new words and new concepts)
    --- enVocab (English Vocabulary, and potentially any known human language)
    --- Parser (for the identification of parts of speech in word-recognition)
    --- --- Instantiate for creating new concept-nodes or instances of any learned concept

• Emotion (fear, love, hope, etc., so that AI robots and cyborgs may have human-like feelings)

• Think (for the generation of a chain of thought by spreading activation among concepts)
  • Activate (for the reactivation of known concepts in spreading activation)

THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH ACADEMICS (THE C.V.)

[Anonymous Coward]

The C.V. reveals all:

PHD (IN PROGRESS)
CCNP (IN PROGRESS)

Well h3ll, I'm the President of the United States (IN PROGRESS). And a P0rn star to boot! (IN PROGRESS)

Funny thing is, he is a CCNP (IN PROGRESS), but supposedly taught a CCNP course.. Must have been really good if you couldn't pass the tests after teaching the course..

#Random Flamer who happens to be:
CCNP and CCDP

>note the lack of caveats.

Re:Still Wondering

So its better to learn about the civil war from the perspective of the white upper class, or of the vietnam war from the right wing conservative theocracy. Right? Children's views of events are skewed, you think the history that is taught in existing test books is what really happened? The right to pen history has been a spoil of the victor for ages, and nothing about that has changed.
