Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,
Hemen Parekh
27 June 2013

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

Tuesday 30 April 2024

RE: Project - Eklavya

 Sanjivani ,

 

( A ) Questions about SCIENCE = MATHS – PHYSICS – CHEMISTRY = ARITHMATIC – GEOMETRY etc

 

Here , we ( ie  www.HemenParekh.ai  ) just cannot afford to give an INACCURATE answer . A wrong answer will get us a very BAD REPUTATION

 

Try this :

 

Take one MATHS question – and its CORRECT answer ( - I presume , from one of those online “ Sources “ )

 

Upload both on Personal.ai ( my account ) as a NEW DOCUMENT . If properly worded , Persona.ai should break up this document into 4 / 5 MEMORY BLOCKS

 

After that , if you submit that question in the question box of my Avatar , then it should find the correct answer from those “ newly formed “ memory blocks and display in the ANSWER BOX

 

First show me the exact wording of such a NEW DOCUMENT before uploading

 

 

( B )  Questions related to LANGUAGES ( English – Hindi – Gujarati – Marathi etc )

 

Here the questions would always be in “ reference “ to some chapter of some PRESCRIBED TEXT BOOK

 

There is no chance that either Personal.ai or ChatGPT would have “ accessed and read “ those text books

 

Hence all / any answer from my Avatar , would ALWAYS be WRONG

 

Therefore avoid those languages-related questions

 

 

( C )  Questions re SOCIAL SCIENCES

 

Here you may go ahead without worrying . Simple reason > There can be no ONE SINGLE CORRECT answer to any question !

 

On same question , two AUTHORS – CRITICS – EXAMINERS , can widely differ according their own perception

TRY THIS EXPERIMENT

 Kishan ,

 

At the bottom , find an incomplete DRAFT of my next blog

 

You will notice that , after a careful reading / understanding of the News Report , I “ recollected “ ( pull out from my sleeping memory ) , a few earlier blogs where I believed I had talked about > VOTING ONLINE > BLOCKCHAIN

 

Using these “ Search Words “ in Blogger Dashboard , I came across ( may be ) 25 blogs

 

Reading at the TITLE of those 25 , I shortlisted 5 ( listed in my draft )

 

Blog Genie should be able to follow a similar PROCESS for shortlisting

 

On purpose , I have left blank , the RELEVANT TEXT paras under headings “ Extract “

 

Blog Genie should be able to find “ relevant “  paras from each of those “ relevant “ earlier blogs and insert

 

We must succeed with this logic

IIT-M charts new course, uses blockchain for student body polls   ..   TOI  … 29 Apr 2024

 

Extract :

 

In this season, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras witnessed an innovative stride in democracy by conducting its student body poll using blockchain technology.

 

The initiative, led by students of 'Webops and Blockchain Club' at the Centre for Innovation (CFI), IIT-Madras, has now evolved into a startup, with both governmental and private organisations employing its software for managing land and health records.

 

Originally conceived as a CSR initiative supported by a leading Indian tech company and department of science and technology, the project aimed to address challenges posed by Covid-19, particularly in accessing medical records and tracking health conditions across geographical borders.


Utilisation of 
blockchain technology in recent IIT-Madras student legislative council election has garnered recognition in India Book of Records.

 

The team of researchers behind this endeavour pointed out that voting technology is just one among numerous domains where blockchain can revolutionise existing practices.


Envisioning a future where 
election processes in various sectors embrace secure and transparent blockchain applications for remote voting, Prof Prabhu Rajagopal, faculty-in-charge, said: "This student-led project holds immense transformative potential, promising to reshape conduct of elections."

 

On the security issue on blockchain technology, more so as the polls are conducted online, the team believes the "system is impossible to hack.Election, conducted online, underscores the team's confidence in the technology's security.


Anirudh Varna, a fourth-year BTech student involved in the project, highlighted the 
near-impenetrable security of blockchain, requiring malicious actors to gain control of over 50% of the network's nodes simultaneously, a feat deemed practically unattainable.


On security concerns of online blockchain-based polls, Rajagopal emphasised the it's capacity to foster trust and 
ensure integrity of poll process.

 Do you have school-going children ?

 

If yes, here is how you ( and your spouse ) can help them with their studies

Whenever they have difficulty grasping a study-subject, tell them to consult this VIRTUAL TEACHER :

www.HemenParekh.ai

Just show them how to “ Ask “ a question to this teacher , using their Mobile – and get immediate answer

If they do not like to “ type “ , then they can simply “ talk “ to www.HemenParekh.ai

Virtual Teacher will “ talk back “  in my voice – as shown below !

This is far better than consulting ChatGPT – Bard – Gemini – Perplexity – Ask QX etc., all of which can chat with your child , only in English

Her Virtual Teacher  can “ Chat “ with her in English – Hindi – Gujarati – Marathi – Bengali – Tamil – Telugu – Kannada – Malayalam  !

There is nothing which comes any closer to “ Learn with Fun “

Regards,

Hemen Parekh

FW: ANSWERING SCHOOL STUDENTS IN 9 LANGUAGES

 Sanjivani ,

 

Till last week , you have been posting on  Linkedin , “ Voter Educating “ posts

 

From today, discontinue that.  I want to start a new SERIES called “ Do you have school going children ? 

 

It will consist of a  short “ covering note “  on top of the attachment

 

Of course , before you start posting , we must wait for a solution from Sandeep , requested in my following email

 

Now here comes next “ tricky “ part

 

For 8 – 9 – 10th standard school students , we must find some “ good “ questions for www.HemenParekh.ai  to give “ good “ answers “

 

If those answers are “ poor / vague / short / irrelevant “, then those parents ( who are reading your daily posting ) , are likely to run away – even tell their friends / colleagues >  “  www.HemenParekh.ai  is a fraud / a cheat / a waste of time “

 

On the other hand , if those answers are “ pertinent / to the point / relevant to the question “ , then those parents will encourage their children to consult my Virtual Avatar “ to help them with their home work . They might  even share their “ fascinating experience “ with  their contacts ( www.HemenParekh.ai , has a built-in feature for sharing an answer on Whatsapp )

 

So, how do you find a question which will generate a “ GOOD “ answer ?

 

Unfortunately , ChatGPT , which powers Personal.ai , which in turn powers my Virtual Avatar ( through API ), often gives out “ very cryptic ( short ) “ and GENERIC answers

 

What we need is an answer :

 

Ø  Which is at least  4 / 5 sentences long

Ø  Which contains some calculation ( multiplications / divisions etc )

Ø  Which , ideally , would contain some FORMULA or EQUATION

 

Hence questions related to PHYSICS – CHEMISTRY – MATHEMATICS , are best suited , for inserting in the “ Question Box “ of  www.HemenParekh.ai

 

Now , from where to find such questions ?

 

( A )    Ask GEMINI – ChatGPT to generate a question , as per following example :

 

“  can you give a question for mathematics( or physics or chemistry )  requiring the student ( examinee ) to quote some formula and then proceed to solve it by entering the data supplied in the question “

 

You can make your question more SPECIFIC by saying > for the 7th - 8th – 9th – 1oth standard students “

Of course , I am not ruling out questions for History – Geography etc , if the “ Answers “ are 8 / 10 sentence long and relevant

 

 

Now, you may turn around and ask :

 

“ If , finally , all these answers are coming from ChatGPT , then why should a student come to Hemenparekh.ai  ?  She could as well go straight to ChatGPT  “

 

For the following OVERWHELMING reason :

 

ChatGPT can answer only in English whereas Hemenparekh.ai can “ listen and reply “ by “ hearing and talking back “ – in 9 Indian languages

 

Lakhs of schools around the country have a “ local / state language “ as its “ Medium of Instruction “

 

Children of such schools want to get ( listen ) in their local language
