charged
Last edited: August 8, 2025an atom is said to be charged when there is an imbalance between its number of protons and electrons.
additional information
units of charge
charge is measured in SI unit \(C\), coulomb. However, we are often dealing with \(e\), the charge of an electron (as ultimate that’s the principle way by which charge moves around). \(e \approx 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C\).
net charge can be neither created nor destroyed
Unsurprisingly, though you can move electrons around, they will be conserved across a system.

- frame based systems: talk to users + accomplish specific tasks

Dialogue Systems vs Chatbot
Previously, when we say Chatbot we mean task-based systems
humans and chat
humans tend to think of Dialogue Systems as human-like even if they know its not. this makes users more prone to share private information and worry less about its disclosure.

chi-square
Last edited: August 8, 2025\(\chi^2\) is a test statistic for hypothesis testing.
motivation for chi-square
The motivation for chi-square is because t-test (means, “is the value significantly different”) and z-test (proportion, “is the incidence percentage significantly different”) all don’t really cover categorical data samples: “the categories are distributed in this way.”
Take, for instance, if we want to test the following null hypothesis:
Category | Expected | Actual |
---|---|---|
A | 25 | 20 |
B | 25 | 20 |
C | 25 | 25 |
D | 25 | 25 |
\(\alpha = 0.05\). What do we use to test this??

Child Labour: A Short Story
Last edited: August 8, 2025I was digging through my OneDrive recently for work, and found this piece of writing.
There is naught but a small, dirt-filled puddle in front of this lawn. Yet only here – by the puddle – can Gary find a small, much-needed respite from the neverending work. Of course, without the hours he has committed to the sweatshop, his mother would have died ages ago from colora.
But how does it matter now? Rarely now – once every year – does he even earn the privilege to exit the heavily-guarded area to visit his mother; and how little time he has during such visits: each visit seems to just be a long walk, a knock, a kiss on the cheek – then back to the workhouse he goes.
