AI Glossary - Advice Taker

 


J. McCarthy suggested a software called Advice Taker to demonstrate common sense and improveable behavior.

Declarative and imperative sentences were used to express the software.

It reasoned through deductive reasoning.

This method was a predecessor to McCarthy and Hayes' Situational Calculus, which they proposed in a 1969 paper in Machine Intelligence.

AI Glossary - Adjacency Matrix.

 


Adjacency Matrix is an acronym for "adjacency matrix." 

A binary relation over a finite set may be represented using an adjacency matrix.

If the cardinality of set A is n, the adjacency matrix for a relation on A is a nxn binary matrix, with a one for the I j-th element if the connection holds, and a zero otherwise.

The adjacency matrix is used by a variety of route and closure algorithms, either implicitly or explicitly.

If there are ones along the major diagonal, an adjacency matrix is reflexive, and symmetric if the I j-th element equals the j, i-th element for all I j pairings in the matrix.

The weighted adjacency matrix, which substitutes the zeros and ones with and costs, respectively, and utilizes this matrix to determine the shortest distance or minimal cost pathways between the components, is a generalization of this.

AI Glossary - Adaptive Vector Quantization

 


Adaptive Vector Quantization is a neural network technique in which the input vectors form a state space and the network quantizes those vectors into a smaller number of ideal vectors or regions.

The network adapts the placement (and quantity) of these vectors to the data as it "learns."

AI Glossary - Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART).


 


Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) is a kind of neural network based on neurophysiologic theories.

Stephen Grossberg came up with the idea in 1976.

For prediction, ART models use a hidden layer of ideal instances.

If an input case is sufficiently similar to an existing case, it "resonates" with it, and the ideal case is modified to include it.

A new ideal scenario is introduced if this is not the case.

ARTs are sometimes shown as having two layers, known as the F1 and F2 layers.

The matching is done by the F1 layer, and the outcome is chosen by the F2 layer.

It's a cluster analysis technique.

Artificial Intelligence - Who Is Aaron Sloman?

 




Aaron Sloman (1936–) is a renowned artificial intelligence and cognitive science philosopher.

He is a global expert in the evolution of biological information processing, an area of study that seeks to understand how animal species have acquired cognitive levels that surpass technology.

He's been debating if evolution was the first blind mathematician and whether weaver birds are actually capable of recursion in recent years (dividing a problem into parts to conquer it).

His present Meta-Morphogenesis Project is based on an idea by Alan Turing (1912–1954), who claimed that although computers could do mathematical brilliance, only brains could perform mathematical intuition.

According to Sloman, not every aspect of the cosmos, including the human brain, can be represented in a sufficiently massive digital computer because of this.

This assertion clearly contradicts digital physics, which claims that the universe may be characterized as a simulation running on a sufficiently big and fast general-purpose computer that calculates the cosmos's development.

Sloman proposes that the universe has developed its own biological building kits for creating and deriving other—different and more sophisticated—construction kits, similar to how scientists have evolved, accumulated, and applied increasingly complex mathematical knowledge via mathematics.

He refers to this concept as the Self-Informing Universe, and suggests that scientists build a multi-membrane Super-Turing machine that runs on subneural biological chemistry.

Sloman was born to Jewish Lithuanian immigrants in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).

At the University of Cape Town, he got a bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Physics.

He was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship and earned his PhD in philosophy from Oxford University, where he defended Immanuel Kant's mathematical concepts.

He saw that artificial intelligence had promise as the way forward in philosophical understanding of the mind as a visiting scholar at Edinburgh University in the early 1970s.

He said that using Kant's recommendations as a starting point, a workable robotic toy baby could be created, which would eventually develop in intellect and become a mathematician on par with Archimedes or Zeno.

He was one of the first scholars to refute John McCarthy's claim that a computer program capable of operating intelligently in the real world must use structured, logic-based ideas.

Sloman was one of the founding members of the University of Sussex School of Cognitive and Computer Sciences.

There, he collaborated with Margaret Boden and Max Clowes to advance artificial intelligence instruction and research.

This effort resulted in the commercialization of the widely used Poplog AI teaching system.

Sloman's The Computer Revolution in Philosophy (1978) is famous for being one of the first to recognize that metaphors from the realm of computers (for example, the brain as a data storage device and thinking as a collection of tools) will dramatically alter how we think about ourselves.

The epilogue of the book contains observations on the near impossibility of AI sparking the Singularity and the likelihood of a human Society for the Liberation of Robots to address possible future brutal treatment of intelligent machines.

Sloman held the Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science chair in the School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham until his formal retirement in 2002.

He is a member of the Alan Turing Institute and the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence.

AI Terms Glossary - ADABOOST

 


ADABOOST is a way for enhancing machine learning methods that was recently created.

It has the potential to greatly enhance the performance of classification methods (e.g., decision trees).

It works by repeatedly applying the procedure to the data, analyzing the findings, and then reweighting the observations to provide more weight to the misclassified instances.

By a majority vote of the individual classifiers, the final classifier employs all of the intermediate classifiers to categorize an observation.

It also has the intriguing virtue of continuing to lower the generalization error (i.e., the error in a test set) long after the training set error has stopped dropping or hit 0.
