13. Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence is the study of computational models to perform tasks normally associated with rational behavior manifested as reasoning, perception, and appropriate actions and reactions.

14. Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence is the field of study dedicated to the study and design of computational models that perform tasks that are typically considered “human”. These tasks may entail use of knowledge, reasoning, or physical abilities.

15. Artificial Intelligence • Study and design of computational models (purposes, methods) • Study, solve problems e.g. assisting, replacing • Methods use techniques that are new or adapted from other fields • Perform tasks • What are AI tasks? • Typically considered “human” • Mundane, expert, physical (complex)

16. AI tasks

17. AI tasks (complex) • planning • scheduling • design • prediction • control • monitoring • analysis • vision • reading &understanding • diagnosis • configuration • categorization • classification • creativity • discovery • speech recognition & synthesis • obstacle avoidance • NL generation • NL understanding

18. Types of AI tasks • mundane: • face recognition • argumentation • shopping planning • expert: • diet prescription • medical diagnosis • legal argumentation • legal, military, business planning • Solution oriented: • Knowledge discovery • Text mining

19. AI tasks and AI problems • AI problem is natural language, whereas related AI tasks are composition, speech, reading and understanding • Examples of AI problems can be mechanical or medical diagnosis and the AI task in both is diagnosis • An AI problem is one that requires the performance of one or many AI tasks to be solved

20. AI applications

22. applications of AI (i) • knowledge based systems • financial advise • medical diagnosis, credit analysis • case-based reasoning systems for forecasting, case retrieval, prescription of diet, exercise • knowledge management systems • creativity, planning, forecast, recommender, personalization, argumentation, mediation, tutoring systems (education), • military applications • HICAP • Immersive Training Environments with virtual reality

23. applications of AI (ii) • machine learning, neural networks • pattern recognition, e.g., penmanship, voice, brain activity patterns of motor areashttp://www.txtwriter.com/Onscience/Articles/ratrobot.html • analyze trends in any domain, knowledge discovery in databases and text, e.g., data mining • classification and clustering and adaptation, collaborative filtering (movielens)

24. applications of AI (iii) • problem solving by search • genetic algorithms, games • robotics, vision • search for survivors after earthquakes • recognize survivors • obstacle avoidance http://www.nsf.gov/od/lpa/news/03/pr0391_video1.htm -recognizing criminals in random public locations • unmanned airplanes, search for land mines • intelligent user interfaces

25. applications of AI (iv) • natural language • natural language interfaces • machine translation http://babelfish.altavista.com/ • text understanding to analyze patterns & trends • summarization, information extraction • uncertainty • represent and reason with elements that are vague and uncertain • use of fuzzy sets and statistical methods

27. Necessary grounds for computer understanding • Ability to represent knowledge and reason with it. • Perceive equivalences and analogies between two different representations of the same entity/situation. • Learning and reorganizing new knowledge. • From Peter Jackson (1998) Introduction to Expert systems.
