Write a 500-word essay in response to each topic you choose.

 

1. “My reference to ‘Western feminism’ is by no means intended to imply that it is a monolith,” writes Mohanty. Does Mohanty avoid the trap of generalizing about a group, the very thing she is critiquing with regard to Western Feminists? Be as specific as possible in your response.

2. How does Rupp characterize international organizing among women prior to 1945? From where did these organizations derive their membership? Be as specific as possible in your response.

3. Discuss three of Mohanty’s concerns regarding the representation of “Third World” women. Be as specific as possible in your response.

4. According to Rupp, what were some of the conditions within feminist organizations that discouraged genuine internationalism? What circumstances promoted solidarity across cultures? What were some of the forces that made organizing across national borders a challenge? Be as specific as possible in your response.

5. What does Lorde mean when she says, “the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house”? Why do you think she uses the word dismantle instead of destroy, wreck, or knock down? Be as specific as possible in your response.

6. “Difference is that raw and powerful connection from which our personal power is forged,” writes Lorde. What do you thinks she means by this? Be as specific as possible in your response.

7. Rich attacks the notion that women, by their femaleness, are necessarily aligned with each other. Elaborate on this argument, providing specific examples supporting Rich’s position.

Sample Solution

Calculate the eigenfaces from the training set, keeping only the M images that correspond to the highest eigenvalues. These M images define the face space. As new faces are experienced, the eigenfaces can be updated or recalculated.
3) Calculate the corresponding distribution in M-dimensional weight space for each known individual, by projecting their face images onto the ‘face space’.

After the initialization operations, there are carried out more operations in order to recognize new face images.
4) Calculate a set of weights based on the input image and the M eigenfaces by projecting the input image onto each of the eigenfaces.
5) Determine if the image is a face at all by checking to see if the image is sufficiently close to ‘face space’.
6) If it is a face, classify the weight pattern as either a known person or as unknown.
7) (Optional) Update the eigenfaces and/or weight patterns.
8) (Optional) If the same unknown face is seen several times, calculate its characteristic weight pattern and incorporate into the known faces[24].

As mentioned earlier, there is a long list of methods that can be used for facial recognition. Four of them, i.e Eigenface Method, Correlation Method, Fisherface Method and the Linear Subspaces Method, are the most favorite. Below here, you can find the error rates of those four methods, considered pictures with close crop or the whole face.

As you can see, the Eigenface Method has the most errors, and the Fisherface Method the least. You can also see that the error rate is higher with images of close crops faces, compared to a full face image. This shows that it is harder for a facial recognition algorithm to recognize someone if their face is not fully shown in the picture and the features are thus not recognized. It also reminds us of the fact that facial recognition techniques are not completely accurate. Hopefully they will become more accurate in the future, so e.g crime can be prevented faster and better.
3. Results of face recognition technologies in crime prevention
There are many ways for law enforcement to help them with decreasing the amount of crime. Face recognition has a big role in human life. Witnesses can describe a person’s face. Also, the citizenry can help by sending in photos. But an Artificial Intelligence can also do face recognition. It can search through a database full of mug shots to find a match with the face from an image or sketch. The Artificial Intelligence will take much shorter time to find
