What about people, hardware (biology) and software (culture)? Our construction starts with an egg cell and a sperm cell that is 83,000 times smaller (in this phase the female is certainly cooperative). The 2 cells double, and double, 47 times (247) resulting in the 140.737 billion (1.4 * 1014) complex …

Youyou et al. showed that from 70 likes the algorithm could predict the personality better than friends, from 150 likes better than family members and from 300 likes even better than the test person himself. However, the machine learning algorithm does not know the person better than the colleagues, …

Although usually very predictable, the outcome of (inter) action on both the individual and the group level is in principle not predictable (undetermined, or chaotic). Mathematically, this is called nonlinear dynamics, or non-deterministic systems, or chaos. There are so many forces involved in the "system" …

In machine learning, people stay responsible for defining both the available data, and the desired outcomes. The growth of knowledge and insights remains both critical and constantly dependent on developments, and therefore on professionals. Although the quality of our work can increase through the use …

Overgenomen met toestemming uit Loopbaanvisie van oktober 2018 In het debat onder kennisprofessionals van Noloc is een interessante discussie ontstaan over de vraag of zelfregie in werk en loopbaan vrijheid en autonomie biedt, dan wel de sociale verschillen tussen werkenden en werkzoekenden vergroot. …

Hoe scheiden we het kaf van het koren? Om de zoveel tijd vlamt deze discussie binnen het vakgebied van de loopbaanbegeleiding weer stevig op. Hoe voorkomen we dat iedereen zomaar een bordje in zijn tuin kan zetten en zich loopbaanbegeleider noemt? Hoe borgen we kwaliteit en professionaliteit?In: Tijdschrift …

In 2004 the physicist Chris Anderson postulated a theory - the long tail - in which he stated that with the emergence of the internet many writers and artists get a chance of success. As a result, greatest hits and bestsellers would have an increasingly relatively smaller share in the totals of artist …

Did you ever wonder why, for example, despite investing of millions of research funding, there is still no clarity regarding the definitions of many (psychological or psychiatric) images such as Autistiform Spectrum Disorder, or ADHD? Could it be that, at least partly, the images consist of psychological …

Om concreet te maken wat er precies verandert in de techniek en wat dat betekent voor de competenties die technici in de toekomst nodig hebben, riepen wij de hulp in van werkgevers in de techniek. Technische bedrijven maken de opkomst van de Smart Industry en/of daaraan verwante ontwikkelingen ten slotte …

Just like music and art education, technical education is very closely linked to practice in an ever changing world. Techniques come and go, sometimes at lightning speed. Especially at the level of secondary vocational education (level 2, 3 and 4) there are shortages in well trained craftsmen. Technical …
