Projects/Intelligent Predictor Application for XO

This page will be used to update the current status of this project.

20/4/2009 - Submitted the proposal of this project

4/5/2009 - Received the laptops

6/5/2009 - Got developer key - Updated one of the laptops to Sugar 8.2.0 build release.(The other kept as a clean netbook(old build) as for testing purposes)

7/5/2009 -Managed to boot Xubuntu(8.10) Intrepid from SD card on XO.(Instructions + Image file)

Project Objectives:

---

• XO as the medium for the application

• To test and show the capability of XO in running AI(Artificial Intelligence) program.

• To stimulate the learning process for children who use XO.

• Help children to think logically

• To assist any users of the application helping them to make a decision based on the model of knowledge they entered into the application

Plan and Procedure for Achieving the Stated Objectives:

---

• Develop the application interface using Python programming language (4 months)

• Include a machine learning theory calls Naïve Bayes Theorem into the application (4 months)

• Test the application in real world environment and fix any issues related to the application (6 months)

Why is this project needed?

---

• To show the capability of computer in helping making a decision

• Lack of AI application that are user-friendly for children

Locally?

---

• Expose the use of computer with AI capability to children in primary schools in Malaysia

In the greater OLPC/Sugar community?

---

• Expose the AI algorithm to the community and helping others in develop other application based on the algorithm

Outside the community?

---

• It’ll be a great way to demonstrates the XO capability in running AI application and promotes open source to the world.
