Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lo

Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement learning is a subfield of machine learning in which systems are trained by receiving virtual "rewards" or "punishments," essentially learning by trial and error. Google's DeepMind has used reinforcement learning to beat a human champion in the Go games. Reinforcement learning is also used in video games to improve the gaming experience by providing smarter bot.

One of the most famous algorithms are:

Q-learning
Deep Q network
State-Action-Reward-State-Action (SARSA)
Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG)

The #iteachmsu Commons is an initiative that has been in the making for almost five years, driven by educators, for educators. Initially, Melissa McDaniels of The Graduate School and a group of graduate Teaching Assistants launched “Inside Teaching MSU” as a space for graduate student educators to share their teaching ideas and learn from each other through workshops. Inside Teaching MSU’s efforts eventually expanded to social media, using #iteachmsu (both the shortened version of the organization’s name and a public declaration of teaching practice) to continue conversations around teaching and learning at MSU without barriers of time and physical space. Ultimately, the group launching a blog with original graduate student content and began hosting twitter EdChats to expand opportunities for educators across MSU to connect. It became apparent that educators across campus roles, including but not limited to faculty, staff, advisors, specialists, librarians, instructional designers, teaching assistants, and undergraduate learning assistants, wanted a dedicated space to further their work in the name of MSU’s teaching and learning mission.
 
“It is important to have a space for all educators to connect at MSU because we are often dispersed and siloed in our respective colleges and departments. It is even more important for all of us here at MSU to identify ourselves as educators with vested interest in the work of teaching and learning at our pioneer land-grant institution,” says #iteachmsu Commons project team member and Learning Experience Designer Dave Goodrich. MSU is a big place and with educators situated in so many diverse roles across campus, making it difficult to fully recognize and leverage this community’s teaching and learning innovations. To better gather and guide the best of central support and decentralized innovation, a teaching commons was initiated. According to Huber and Hutchings (2016), a Teaching Commons is “an emergent conceptual space for exchange and community among faculty, students, and all others committed to learning as an essential activity of life in contemporary democratic society”. Erik Skogsberg, #iteachmsu Commons project lead, hopes that “The #iteachmsu Commons will provide the public gathering place to best center educator development in effective teaching practices across our campus.” We envision this centering as achieved by educator-driven space for sharing teaching resources, connecting across educator networks, and growing teaching practice.

Big data is more than high-volume, high-velocity data. Learn what big data is, why it matters and how it can help you make better decisions every day.

Big data is a collection of large datasets that cannot be processed using traditional computing techniques. Testing of these datasets involves various tools, techniques and frameworks to process. Big data relates to data creation, storage, retrieval and analysis that is remarkable in terms of volume, variety, and velocity. You can learn more about Big Data, Hadoop and Mapreduce here In this tutorial we will learn, Testing Big Data application is more a verification of its data processing rather than testing the individual features of the software product. When it comes to Big data testing, performance and functional testing are the key. In Big data testing QA engineers verify the successful processing of terabytes of data using commodity cluster and other supportive components. It demands a high level of testing skills as the processing is very fast. Processing may be of three types Along with this, data quality is also an important factor in big data testing. Before testing the application, it is necessary to check the quality of data and should be considered as a part of database testing. It involves checking various characteristics like conformity, accuracy, duplication, consistency, validity, data completeness, etc.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Science and technology is a topic that encompasses science, technology, and the interactions between the two. Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of explanations and predictions about nature and the universe. Technology is the collection of techniques, methods or processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation, or any other consumer demands.
Science may drive technological development, by generating demand for new instruments to address a scientific question, or by illustrating technical possibilities previously unconsidered. In turn, technology may drive scientific investigation, by creating demand for technological improvements that can only be produced through research, and by raising questions about the underlying principles that a new technology relies on.
For the majority of human history, technological improvements were achieved by chance, trial and error, or spontaneous inspiration. When the modern scientific enterprise matured in the Enlightenment, it primarily concerned itself with basic questions of nature. Research and development directed towards immediate technical application is a relatively recent occurrence, arising with the Industrial Revolution and becoming commonplace in the 20th century.
As academic fields, science and technology are often grouped with engineering and mathematics, as the STEM fields.
