I'm completely fucked
I like flopped everything

What were you even supposed to write for the virtual personal assistant question?? They literally told you how NN assists it 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ tf am I supposed to write about

And the SQL question fucked me over
And the 2d array one
And I couldn't understand what session management had to do with speed of code execution for a user
😕💔

also did not know what to write about data mining for the stupid live broadcasting thing
apart from that was okay, all the python stuff was so free

For the VPA I wrote about how it benefits as it can be trained to understand requests, thus reducing human effort. And for negative I wrote about how NN are basically black boxes so you can't 100% predict the output will be correct, wasting customer time.

2D array python was fine, I just generated 15 pairs of coordinates and then did 2 for loops to display the grid with either spaces or Xs where they matched my coordinates

I think it was like this:
SQL:
SELECT Category, Status, Count(*) as Total
FROM Issues
WHERE Status != "Resolved"
GROUP BY Category, Status
ORDER BY Count(*) DESC;
I did
SQL:
SELECT Category, Status, Count(Status) AS Total
FROM Issues
WHERE Status != "Resolved"
GROUP BY Category, Status
ORDER BY Total DESC;
Did anyone else get it in the exam?

Thats exactly what I wrote about for VPAs

Hmm i do wonder what the marking criteria is for that question, considering its 4 marks
Yeah I was getting a bit worried in the exam. I spent a good 45min on that sql quesion. Youd get some marks for some SQL, maybe for WHERE , maybe for ORDER BY too but the last mark is if you use the group by correctly

Im not sure but the data mining one I put they can use data mining on the video stream coming from the broadcast to detect corrupt and malicious data within the video stream to ultimately try and stop technical difficulties etc.

Damn, rlly?
I wrote some stuff about how they can use the data they get to 1. see where the majority of users are located (allocation of resources etc) and 2. If a certain kind of device was always experiencing an issue
But I don't think that was right 😬

Sounds like pretty much any proactive analysis is data mining so we should be good. 😀
