Machine learning is an ability for artificial intelligence to learn, without the need for additional programming. It is a method to analyse data and uses algorithm to learn from provided data, making it able to learn and independently adapt to changes and addition of new data. This kind of technology has many uses and can be integrated into many aspects of a person’s daily life.

Machine learning, from my point of view, though is the way to go to improve today’s tech, it is not yet understood and implemented commercially. Neither that it is commonly known by the public, people do not know what machine learning is or what it can achieve. Even so, many companies are researching this subject and are producing and inventing many ways this technology can be of use. Companies such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, and so forth, have used machine learning in some of their current products. Such as google assistant’s Google Home and Amazon’s artificial intelligence, Alexa, and also such as algorithms used by Facebook to help it’s feed.

My own idea to make something using Machine Learning is to make a Smart Traffic. An environment with Smart Cars. An environment with no need of human driving or traffic jams. Where every movement of a vehicle is controlled by an algorithm and data from sensors around the vehicle. The road will look like blood flowing in our veins, with precise movement, even at max speed, everyone will get to their destination, without traffic, without slowing down, traveling at max speed.

So during the first week of AO, 12th September 2015, The whole School of Computer Science had an event arranged by HIMTI called HTTP 2015 to attend. The theme was SHINE ( Strengthening Harmony & Inspiring New Experiences ).

The event was fun and interesting. The part of the event that appeals to me the most was the Talk Show, Visualization, and Performance from bands and DJ. The food sold was quite tasty but not too pocket friendly. And I really like that we can get free Bear Brand from just doing simple exercises.

I like the souvenirs of free beverages, a pin, and shirt. Overall HTTP 2015 was fun and interesting.

8th September 2015. First Day of Academic Orientation with class LB02.

-||-

The class consisted of approximately 48 students. And so each time we have a class in the lab, the class got divide into two unevenly. And I got to the class with only 13 people.

There were many guys and gals that weren’t in my batch and so I got acquainted with them.

The class was always scheduled 7 in the morning, this results in me being always almost and sometimes late to class even though I stay in Binus Square. I really need to wake up earlier than I did during AO.

The 2 weeks of AO introduced the programming language C++ and Algorithm in programming. The lecturers were fun and nice.

On the last day of AO we had a test. It was challenging but fun. Despite saying that, I only managed to do 2 out of 5 problems. But it was pretty good in my opinion.

And so AO ended and I can’t wait for the real thing next week

Soft-skills are very important to have for anyone who wants to succeed in the real world.

6 key soft skills includes self-management, teamwork, communication,

initiative & enterprise, problem solving & decision making, planning & organizing.

These 6 attributes can be acquired by joining organizations.

Having obligations and responsibility on our shoulders.

Communicating with different kinds of people.

Working with different people with different mind sets.

Managing our time with tight and busy schedules.

Solving problems and making decision efficiently and correctly.

-||-

All of these attributes are must-have skills to have in the real word and to get a job and to be successful.

And all these can be experienced and earned by joining organization and become an active member or even a leader.

18th of August 2015. 4th Batch. DBN02.

General Orientation which is the first step of FEP started.

Gathered in a class at Syahdan Campus.

Meeting new people from different parts of the country.

Meeting the – very friendly – Buddy Coordinators.

Getting new friends. Having Fun. Learning.

During GO we learned a the basic knowledge of the campus life in Binus University.

As a class we also got close to each other. Between freshmen and also with BCs.

We also practiced our yel-yel together.  And performed with well during the last day.

Overall, GO was fun, educating, and a success.
