The Summa Theologiae is Thomas Aquinas' undisputed masterwork, and it includes his thoughts on the elemental forces in human life. Feelings such as love, hatred, pleasure, pain, hope and despair were described by Aquinas as 'passions', representing the different ways in which happiness could be affected. But what causes the passions? What impact do they have on the person who suffers them? Can they be shaped and reshaped in order to better promote human flourishing? The aim of this book is to provide a better understanding of Aquinas' account of the passions. It identifies the Aristotelian influences that lie at the heart of the Summa Theologiae, and it enters into a dialogue with contemporary thinking about the nature of emotion. The study argues that Aquinas' work is still important today, and shows why for Aquinas both the understanding and attainment of happiness requires prolonged reflection on the passions.
Artificial intelligence applications can very powerful in areas of speech recognition, image processing and identification, medical diagnosis and clustering to name a few. There is a perception that developing your own artificial intelligence (AI) application can be a daunting task, requiring in-depth knowledge and programming skills. This is not entirely true since many desktop and laptop systems have computing power that can accommodate machine-and deeplearning development, the available options for code development and a broad support base. A generic guide in developing a platform for AI project development is presented. R ESUM E Les applications d'intelligence artificielle peuventêtre tr es puissantes dans les domaines de la reconnaissance vocale, du traitement et de l'identification des images, du diagnostic et du regroupement, pour n'en nommer que quelques-uns. Il existe une perception selon laquelle le d eveloppement de votre propre application d'intelligence artificielle (apprentissage machine ou r eseau neuronal) peut constituer une tâche tr es difficile, exigeant des connaissances et des comp etences en informatique approfondies. Ce n'est pas enti erement vrai, puisque plusieurs ordinateurs de bureau et portables disposent d'une puissance de calcul permettant d'accommoder le d eveloppement de l'apprentissage machine et par r eseau neuronal, les options de codage et une vaste base de soutien. Nous pr esentons ici un guide g en erique pour l' etablissement d'une plateforme de d eveloppement de projets d'IA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
