I always wanted to become a business man like my dad and I was going to study BBA. Until I saw the tv show Person of Interest, I know it sounds silly but it inspired me to make my own AI system that can predict stuff.

I could not make the machine or Samaritan, but in my final year project, we managed to make an AI system that can categorize emails automatically without any input from the user. The system can create category names by itself and put the emails accordingly.

*the machine or Samaritan: Are super AI systems that can analyze surveillance feeds and predict terrorism or criminal's targets.

this sounds like a very demanding task! i have a strong background in math and physics but how ever intrigued i am by the idea of AI i never touched the subjet. does it take a lot of power to run a little more than simple - lets say useful ai - algorhytms or can i run this on a single pc?

@orijin Most of the times people misunderstands AI, AI in simple form is anything that react to something by itself. For example, you have a game to move right or left, and your AI algo can be hardcoded (if obj move right find his position and shoot, else if move left find his position and shoot), basically anything adds intelligence to a program is AI. Can AI run on little power? yes, but slow. In our case we used clustering algos on enron email database which has like 600,000 emails,

@orijin in our personal computer it took like 16 hours to run our algo while in uni's server it took 6 hours. At the end if depends on your corpus or the amount of the data to be processed.

@mohammed cool! thanks for the info :-) yes i didn't mean something as simple as game ui for finding player position. more like something that understands human language and can react accordingly to input.

So i guess running something like Marvin The Paranoid Android from Hitchikers guide on my pc is out of the question. hehe :)

hey, your final year project looks very intersting. Actually my final year session has just started and we have been asked to decide on a topic of interest for final year project.

Can you help me out a little if possible

i know laravel and recently learned a little machine learning on python scikit.

@minhaj3 What kind of help you want exactly? coming up with the ideas?
