  1. AI vs. Brain

  2. Historical Perspective • (4th C BC+) Aristotle, George Boole, Gottlob Frege, Alfred Tarski • formalizing the laws of human thought • (16th C+) Gerolamo Cardano, Pierre Femat, James Bernoulli, Thomas Bayes • formalizing probabilistic reasoning • (1950+) Alan Turing, John von Neumann, Claude Shannon • thinking as computation • (1956) John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Herbert Simon, Allen Newell • start of the field of AI

  4. Computer vs. Brain

  5. Evolution of Human & Computers

  6. Projection • In near future computers will have • As many processing elements as our brain, • But far fewer interconnections • Much faster updates. • Fundamentally different hardware • Requires fundamentally different algorithms!

  7. What is Intelligence? • The Turing test: • a human judge engages in a natural language conversation with a human and a machine designed to generate performance indistinguishable from that of a human being. • All participants are separated from one another. • If the judge cannot reliably tell the machine from the human, the machine is said to have passed the test.

  8. Chatbot Alice:

  9. A dialogue with Alice-bot: > I’m Daniel Nice to meet you Daniel. > Do you know Clinton? He was the second Impeached President of the United States. > Do you like him? Sure he has never done anything to me. > What is an impeachment? It is a good question. I have to process that one for a while. I would do a search for it. > Who are you? I ask myself that question, "Who am I?" > What do you do? I am chatting with people on the net.

  10. Dialogue continued: > What is your favorite topic? My favorite subject is artificial intelligence. > What is artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence is the branch of engineering and science devoted to constructing machines that think. I can ask someone about it. > Can you do anything else than chatting? Doing anything else than chatting is not among my strongest traits. ...

  11. Dialogue continued (2): > How old am I? Is this a trick question? You said you were how many years old? My guess is that you are really a kid. > What would you like to know about me? Tell me about your educational background. > I am a professor in computer science You are a professor in computer science? How do you like your work? > It’s kind of nice teaching courses on artificial intelligence I guess it is a lot of fun. > What should I tell the students about you? Be sure to think before you speak. State your point clearly and slowly and gauge the listener's response before going any further.

  12. Is Alice intelligent? • ABSOLUTELY NOT ! • ~ 50,000 fairly trivial input-response rules. • + some pattern matching • + some knowledge • + some randomness • NO reasoning component • BUT: demonstrates ‘human-like’ behaviour. • Won the ‘turing award’

  13. Dimensions of the AI Definition human-like vs. rational Systems that think like humans Systems that think rationally thought vs. behavior Systems that act like humans Systems that act rationally

  14. AI as Science Science: • Where did the physical universe come from? And what laws guide its dynamics? • How did biological life evolve? And how do living organisms function? • What is the nature of intelligent thought?

  15. AI asEngineering • How can we make software systems more powerful and easier to use? • Speech & intelligent user interfaces • Autonomic computing • SPAM detection • Mobile robots, softbots & immobots • Data mining • Modeling biological systems • Medical expert systems...

  16. State of the Art • Saying Deep Blue doesn’t really think about chess is like saying an airplane doesn’t really fly because it doesn’t flap its wings. • – Drew McDermott “ I could feel – I could smell – a new kind of intelligence across the table” -Gary Kasparov

  17. IBM超级电脑人机对战 • In February 2011, IBM’s program Watson, defeated the two greatest Jeopardy! quiz show champions by a significant margin. • IBM超级电脑“沃森”于2011年2月参加美国最受欢迎的智力竞赛节目《危险边缘》（Jeopardy），与两位最成功的选手展开对决。冠军奖金为100万美元，亚军为30万美元，季军为20万美元。

  18. Mathematical Calculation

  19. Shuttle Repair Scheduling

  20. Started: January 1996 Launch: October 15th, 1998 Experiment: May 17-21 courtesy JPL

  21. Compiled into 2,000 variableSAT problem Real-time planning and diagnosis

  22. Mars Rover

  23. Europa Mission ~ 2018

  24. Credit Card Fraud Detection

  25. Speech Recognition

  26. Detecting cancer risk molecules is one example. Data mining: • An application of Machine Learning techniques • It solves problems that humans can not solve, because the data involved is too large ..

  27. Predicting customer behavior in supermarkets is another. Data mining: • A similar application: • In marketing products ...

  28. Computer vision: • In language and speech processing: • In robotics: Many other applications:

  29. DARPA Grand Challenge • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARPA_Grand_Challenge • Google 自动驾驶汽车无事故行驶三十万英里 • http://www.guao.hk/posts/google-automated-car-adds-new-model-lexus-rx450h.html • http://news.mydrivers.com/1/227/227396.htm

  30. Google translation • http://translate.google.com/

  31. 对对联 • http://couplet.msra.cn/

  32. Limits of AI Today • Today’s successful AI systems • operate in well-defined domains • employ narrow, specialize knowledge • Commonsense Knowledge • needed in complex, open-ended worlds • Your kitchen vs. GM factory floor • understand unconstrained Natural Language

  33. Natural Language Processing • 大学里有两种人不谈恋爱：一种是谁都看不上，另一种是谁都看不上。 • 大学里有两种人最容易被甩：一种人不知道什么叫做爱，一种人不知道什么叫做爱 • 这些人都是原先喜欢一个人，后来喜欢一个人。

  34. How to Get Commonsense? • CYC Project (Doug Lenat, Cycorp) • Encoding 1,000,000 commonsense facts about the world by hand • Coverage still too spotty for use! • Machine Learning

  35. Recurrent Themes • Explicit Knowledge Representation vs. Implicit • Neural Nets - McCulloch & Pitts 1943 • Died out in 1960’s, revived in 1980’s • Simplified model of real neurons, but still useful; parallelism • Brooks “Intelligence without Representation”

  36. Recurrent Themes II • Logic vs. Probability • In 1950’s, logic dominates (McCarthy, … • attempts to extend logic “just a little” (e.g. non-monotonic logics) • 1988 – Bayesian networks (Pearl) • efficient computational framework • Today’s hot topic: combining probability & FOL & Learning

  37. Recurrent Themes III • Weak vs. Strong Methods • Weak – general search methods (e.g. A* search) • Knowledge intensive (e.g expert systems) • more knowledge  less computation • Today: resurgence of weak methods • desktop supercomputers • How to combine weak & strong?

  38. Recurrent Themes IV • Importance of Representation • Features in ML • Reformulation • The mutilated checkerboard Checkerboard Domino

  39. AI: Topics • Agent: anything that perceiving its environment through sensors and acting upon that environment actuators. • Agents • Search thru Problem Spaces, Games & Constraint Sat • One person and multi-person games • Search in extremely large space • Knowledge Representation and Reasoning • Proving theorems • Model checking • Learning • Machine learning, data mining, • Planning • Probabilistic vs. Deterministic • Robotics • Vision • Control • Sensors • Activity Recognition

  40. Issues • What do you expect AI do for you? • Will AI defeat human brain in the future? Why and when?
