None of them are better than each other. They have their pros and cons.
Using EF is relatively easy. It's just about the creating classes and mapping them to SQL tables and use built in classes to query and store data in the database.
Connection Opening, Closing etc all are taken care by EF.
Database operations are very simple. As simple as adding object to collection and calling Save method.
Easy to manage the changes when database changes.
But EF comes with bit of a perfomance cost and offers very little customization.
When you select entity using EF all the columns selected from the table which some time is not necessary.
In ADO.NET you can have flexibility of creating your own SQL query and running it using SQL Command. You can store the query output in whichever data structure you like such as datatable, dataview, entities etc.
With efficiently written queries you can have performance advantage also.
ADO.NET makes you write lot of code for the basic operations such as connection open and close, connection pooling, creating command and parameters etc.
Changes in the database can cause a very big issue such a change in table structure,table added or removed from db etc.
While ADO.NET is a proven technology for database operations from application, EF is widely accepted and providing in-built support by various latest MS app development frameworks such as ASP.NET MVC and MS Web API.
I personally prefer ADO. NET as i don't mind writing the codes to perform the desired operations

I just thought of two challenges but would wait for other contributions to see if am wrong or right before posting

call

J0nyb0y:
Don't you think that would be like extra work load since I already have a goal I wanna reach... I wasn't asked to design a knowledge engineering system.

I was just asked to identify ways of securing the already designed knowledge systems

you said you can't find resources am only suggesting that's all its difficult I know I myself would find it stressful but if at the end you find then discard else..... your choice mate

J0nyb0y:
Thanks knowledge engineering has to do with experts in AI field..

The topic as about Combating Security Challenges in Knowledge Engineering Products...

So I guess I have to identify these knowledge engineering products, then the security challenges that they might face and then the ways of Combating them..

Any ideas would be great

if you can identify them good else design one yourself using your lecturer or.... Bill Gates who is an expert in a certain field and amazed your lecturer by your progress while documenting your stages as this is all project is all about am preparing for mine too lol

for the security challenges I can't really say for now but maybe in the course of your working you might just find them out

J0nyb0y:
None specifically, I guess I'll have to specify the various challenges and ways of Combating then in the course of the project work..

The issue am having is that i have researched online, didn't get much helpful materials. As I think the subject is not yet broad in Csc

hey I think your project isn't too technical....since you dealing with experts alone you can pick up for example your project supervisor as your case study and design a knowledge Engr product of him alone

I maybe wrong but if you said you can't see much information online then you can be the first to make ground breaking discovery in that field of ai
The field of Knowledge Engineering closely parallels some of the skills taught through NLP . There are obvious differences , but certainly at the core of what constitutes the NLP technology & skillset is a set of tools to model human knowledge & subjectivity . That very description would sound highly familiar to those who do professional Knowledge Engineering. In many ways they are two parallel fields . Knowledge Engineering is about building software systems to behave & ' think ' like human experts . In such a project , core software development team members would be tasked with acquiring knowledge from the experts , and then encoding that knowledge in a fashion that allows computers to reproduce the expert ' s behavior consistently and fast ! We can list more " similarities " between these two approaches to modeling than we can " differences . " But rest assured , both exist .
The Knowledge Engineer ( KE ) spends time interviewing & studying the experts , and learning directly from them. There are a variety of different methods which can be used to accomplish this , all grouped loosely under the term " Knowledge Acquisition . " Once a sufficient initial knowledge - base of modeled knowledge has been amassed , the KE then determines ways of storing /structuring / representing the expert ' s knowledge , and then proceeds to build a software application known as an expert system.
NLP practitioners & master practitioners may recognize the above process as being highly similar to what is known as Modeling in NLP . This goes beyond strategy elicitation and is used to logically reproduce behavior in a given domain of expertise . Occasionally we hear people thinking of ' reproducing a tennis swing ' or ' matching / mirroring ' someone else ' s behavior as ' modeling. ' It isn' t , don ' t let them oversimplify things . If they ' re suggesting such things , they categorically don ' t know what modeling is .

Samcent:
Thanks for your contribution. Indeed a whole lot to do.

I just thought of one.... game developers would find this extremely useful as their work also would have been done 20% just by getting this dataset

once again thanks to you all

Samcent:
The Fifa 18 More Complete Player Dataset has 17,994 observations and 185 variables. What do you have in mind to accomplish with this dataset? Honestly, I am not sure which machine learning task to apply. However, I think doing a k-means cluster analysis may help throw some light on the data. Also, you may not need to work with all the 185 variables. These are my amateur submissions though.

there are options available you can apply
1. Creation of a closed domain question answering system
2. Carry out an analysis to determine which player would be highly rated in the coming year since you have access to real data from sofifa.com
3. data visualization of each country, and teams this players play for as some players in a country football also play together in the same team
4. facial recognition of players by using ml algorithm to do so
5.creation of an ultimate team using this real time data to form a team based on ratings among other things
6. Create an algorithm that looks for or creates line of dichotomy between Messi and Ronaldo based on the data available
7. a knowledge based system AI inspired

and much more

but the ideas are unlimited and this is what am talking about using the available data to create things worth it

it's a start and I believe we would get there

thanks 4kings for showing us this website as I have found some interesting datasets which I would use to create some Airtficial intelligence projects starting with this FIFA dataset

TechEnthusiast:
Ok can you drop a link or give me the average specs of a normal laptop.I also need a windows 10

Hard drive 320gb upwards
Ram 4gb upwards

you would need this if you want a smooth operations when you opening one or more than one instance of a your projects through an IDE like visual studio or Android studio

else if you going for a light weight IDE
hard drive 250
ram 2gb

the level of programmers inputs would be reduced as if 1000 lines where written to perform a function, machine learning would reduce it to 450 and keep reduce it because it has proven to be faster and efficient in handling simple to complex problem....and less I forget it will continually shrink cos improvement is made on ml constantly

Angy55:
Yeah, I understand you perfectly. During my IT days my mates went to look for money but I paid to learn, but it's so painful I can't make use of the knowledge now.

Programming requires hardwork.

start small when you get a new laptop do things on your own make mistakes fix it, make more mistakes fix them all, improve on designs UI, show your friends let them critize good or bad at least you make an effort, improve, write more codes, fix bugs, show your friends again, listen and work based on critics, build confidence and mental stimulation, make your mind up, market yourself, get a client, and from there the incremental values in clients and cash increases and you would be amazed at your humble beginnings

Angy55:
The delay I'm talking about here is a laptop, it was moved by some bad boys and I was already developing myself on programming, since then I haven't been able to get another one.
Been a graduate of computer science is not just enough.

so sorry about that, I hope you get a new and better one soon.....its never enough been just a computer science graduate ......you have to do much more work outside your school curriculum if you want to be relevant cos mehn my greatest joy is not what my school taught and is still teaching me but what I personally learnt from my own research and the use of readily available things around me to improve it's difficult and not child's play but I want to be ready cos when am done I would not just be a new comer to the labour force but an amateur who has basics or professional level of knowledge suitable for the day to day problems solutions techniques and much more the labour force has to offer to me personally

NaHiim:
I code in python and java(quite good at android application creation). I also know html and css and I can repair computers too(or anything electronics). I'm a Computer Engineering student of Unilorin. I'm seriously looking for tech-related internship here at Ilorin. My name is Adebisi Nahiim and my e-mail address: nahimadebisi@gmail.com. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.

Am based in Abuja even if I can refer you to a place it would be in Abuja and from your post you already bounded by location (illorin)

Angy55:
I must fulfill my dreams of becoming a programmer one day. The delays I'm facing are just temporary.

God Help me in 2018.

I also face problems but the simplest solution is the best solution which I have been applying from studies to clients jobs and services going forward

All tech companies are already implementing Ml and AI into their product and services how can we do something like this here in Africa or Nigeria because we all know the amount of data they get from us which they use to carry out these experiments before selling it as an improved product or service back to us and we crave for it badly

watch this google i/o

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNLVZjBE08g

how do we create this here in Africa to help improve out selves cos the bitter truth we Africans don't even have this much data not to talk of designing systems that improves our day to day activities

data is key and I feel tho we should be careful with the data we have but at the same time start small and intergate Ml and AI into the apps we build or websites we develop with the available data at our disposal then gradually we would then look to make it bigger

but the question remains how can we do this cos I myself am in my room on my laptop making research and thinking of how to implement them on my softwares and websites going forward

best regards

start now and then make a choice on which programming language

here is a boaster

I am learning cyber security but it at a slow pace though but I know I would get to work stage where I can prove myself no matter how long it takes

emperorizzy:
As a programmer you can make money from freelancing and working for companies from school. I've got friends that are working in different capacities and they haven't even finished school. Just be good, and connect with peeps in that field, you'll be surprised how much people can pay for a skill that looks ordinary.

TBT this is me lol

but you so correct

I just plan along with these companies and improve my service delivery including my PR

funny thing is I just smile when ever am been given special treatment when working for these companies

More better days ahead

All suggestions made are amazing but I would suggest we maintain this platform for now pending when we have reached a level where we can now form a network of serious minded Airtficial intelligence people because TBT. we haven't even really discussed much here just a few questions and answers and although people are learning but we need to do more and we should start from here before moving so we won't face issues been faced by groups on (W, T, S).
