Own objectives

  1. application to PIM
  2. pragmatic view of AI

Finished with 100% overall (cf signed letter).

A perfect score but more importantly a clearer view of the field. The score has to be distinguished from AIClass though since here it was possible to know your score and re-submit answers accordingly (within certain limits and timeness). As for AIClass though the main benefit is to enter a lifelong learning process (cf Education#InteractiveClasses).

To do

  1. see AIClass
  2. can artificial data synthesis used in OCR be considered a minimal form of artificial creativity?
