Citation cleanup

  1. Archive and merge talk pages. Collect issues; there may be a few more.
  2. Format the code in {{sfn}} so it looks like {{harv}}. Does this work?
  3. Blanks. Fixed in {{sfn}}. Not fixed in {{harv}} (and who else?)
  4. Print version. {{sfn}} needs a print version.
  5. Use <includeonly> so we don't see "CITEREF"
  6. Is {{sfn}} sufficiently different to deserve it's own doc page? ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 12:17, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Artificial Intelligence

copy these out from textbook survey

Provide a down-to-earth example in the second paragraph.

  1. This could use some copy editing.
  2. Crevier, p. 254: The society of mind as scruffy. Great quote from Dennett about the essence of "scruffiness."

Do we also need an article with the the title "Adversarial search"?

  1. Tie this to the definitions given in the textbook you bought.

Fix weird section mentioning "Strong AI". Rename it Chatterbots and the Turing Test And create another Applications of chatterbots

If this ever becomes an article:

Human beings use symbolic processes to solve problems, reason, speak and write, learn and invent. Over the past 45 years, cognitive psychology has built and tested empirical models of these processes as they are used to perform simple tasks and then more complex ones. The models take the form of computer programs that simulate human behaviour,” Herbert A Simon, who is considered the father of AI, has said.The Financial Express, Take The Right Business Decision With The Help Of AI, posted 15 July 2007, retrieved 17 Aug 2007.

Merges

If these truly are the same thing.

Future of AI, Ethics of AI, Strong AI, AI in fiction

  1. Read last two section of R&N
  1. Poole and Bowman discuss 'Strong AI vs. Weak AI"
  2. Hal plays chess; this was an important test of AI technology
  3. The computer graphics were from the MIT lab.

See notes at Talk:artificial brain

  1. Add this to Singularity
In an interview on C-Net, John McCarthy dismissed Kurzweil's singularity as "nonsense" and added "I don't think Kurzweil has any ideas that have any potential to do that."[1] McCarthy has been a leader in artificial intelligence since it's inception, but unlike many of his contemporaries, has been reluctant to make predicitions.

History of artificial intelligence

  1. Add (referenced) events from History of artificial intelligence
  2. Add other events from crevier and McCorduck
  3. Reference existing events

Philosophy of artificial intelligence

Organization: Move papert's critique up, fixing this: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=What_Computers_Can%27t_Do&curid=8919856&diff=349170075&oldid=346244049

  1. The first paragraph could be tighter.
  2. Move the replies to the left, and lose the title "What they do and don't prove"
  3. Split "appeals to intuition" from "other minds"
  4. Split "epiphenomena" from "other minds"
  5. Come up with a title for other minds & epiphenomenon that means "irrelevance" or "unanswerability".
  6. Thought experiment is plagiarized from here; rewrite.
  7. Mention that "strong AI" is hard to construe and that some think it has bearing on the Dartmouth proposal.
  8. Find page number for "syntax is insufficient for semantics"
  9. Look at Hauser 97, p. 1, Hauser 05 p. 8, and Harnad 97 p.1 for more (and better) quotes for the history section.
  10. Find reference where Searle talks about the "background". (May have to read a lot of Searle to find this ... )
  11. Check Kurzweil references
  1. Variations on the test: Define "restricted" vs. "unrestricted".
  2. There are two broken or missing citations. Research is needed.
  3. The sections that describe various colloquia read like press releases. They don't establish the historical significance of these events. I recommend we cut them.
  1. Add philosophical background from Haugaland and Dreyfus
  2. Write empty sections
  1. Rewrite replies that don't read well.
  2. Section on Turing's speculations; should include the fact that this is still called the "Turing Method" in England; find a sourcd on that.

Cognitive science

  1. Use my references and examples -- fill it out, make it clear.

Embodiment articles

General references:

Theory of computation

  1. Mark as needing references.
  2. Add text about algorithms that experience combinatorial explosions. Disambiguate and expand.
  3. Find a source that indicates the general importance of this idea in the history of computer science.
  1. Write layman's introduction to the implications of NP-Completeness. This could go in Moore's Law, or in Combinatorial explosion or both.

MOJO Project

Read articles in all the old Mojos and randomly fix up music articles.

Innovation and technological change

Read all articles in these categories:

You want to wind up with a reading list based on the sources of these articles.

  1. Re-Add the illustration from Gordon Moore's notes.
  2. Need an opening graphic that shows transistor density but not on a log-log graph. There is data at instructions per second.
  3. Add section on Sociological and Historical Impact of increasing computer power.
  4. Make a graph showing transportation speeds, engine horsepower, etc., for comparison.
