My article discussed how Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new system that can replace humans and actually outscored 615 of 906 human teams at the last three science competitions. The first prototype seemed to work very well after performing better than more than half of human teams. This device is called "Data Science Machine" (DSM). The DSM was able to produce answers to these science problems with 87%-96% accuracy, however, it took human teams of scientist all around the world months compared to the 2-12 hours the machine took. The massive amount of data that this device can run through can be crucial to the time-consuming design of a structure. By using different tables and charts of data in the DSM, it can help project cost and time. These are two key factors that are lacking in the construction world.
With this type of precision and accuracy, simple design calculations will not need to be redone or take up any time excess time allowing engineers to quickly check its work and move on to other ongoing projects. In the construction world time is money and this device can be greatly taken advantage of in major construction firms to increase overall efficiency

Jacob, after reading your post I better understand how databases and BIM work together. These incorporated BIM databases would have made my second co-op so much easier and available to access at any time.
Response 2: Dee Dee Strohl
Dee Dee, I really enjoyed your post and your definition of what an actual database is. I struggle with the types of databases and complexity of them. I appreciate how you broke a database down from different points of views.
Response 3:Shuyuan Zhang
Shuyuan, I like your definition of what a database is to you in your own words. Again this and the previously read post have given me a strong idea of what a database is and how exactly it can work. Your co-op experience is pretty interesting as I was on the other side of the design team (structural), so reading your techniques used in HVAC design helped me realize the big picture of how it all goes together.

Chris,
ReplyDeleteI agree that time is money and money is time in the world of construction. this DSM sounds like a pretty neat piece of technology that could potentially revolutionize future construction work. Hours vs Months is quite a feat to achieve but what I would be worried is the socio and economical problems that will arise when "machines start stealing human's jobs".
