Or in the future, when the student takes his or her place in society? I attended Columbia College in the 1960s. I took the foundational classes in Western Civilization and Humanities, but I failed to grasp much of their importance. When I took classes about single authors— Jonathan Swift and Arthur Schopenhauer—I began to appreciate how ideas could be configured into particular worldviews. Now, if I were to design a course of study on important topics, I would engage a…
The team used a combination of pattern recognition and classification algorithms to analyze 8,719 recordings of codas from around 60 whales collected by the Dominican Sperm Whale Project between 2005 and 2018. They found that the way whales communicate is neither random nor simple, but structured according to the conversation context, allowing them to identify unique vocalizations that had not previously been noticed. Rather than relying on more complex machine learning techniques, the researchers opted to use classical analytics to approach the existing database with a fresh perspective. “We wanted to have a simpler model on which to base our…
