Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence

To
  1. Fix "naive searches" (see talk page)
  2. Make a big pass through to shorten. Figure out how many pages each section should be, and make it fit. Don't forget there will be illustrations in the FA version.
  3. rewrite "expert systems paragraph"; mention Alvey, Fifth Gen., economic bubble.
  4. re add brain illustration: fix comment to mention "scanning".
  5. re add Galatea illustration
  6. Top of "Problem"s Add a little bit about the turing test and how it helps us to proceed with a working assumption of what intelligence is... turing test is down below.
  7. I am a little concerned that "qualification problem" is misdefined.
  8. Tell the fellows that I think the applications section should actually be about page.
  9. Find a source that says "the problem of unconscious reasoning is mostly unsolved."
  10. Consider these edits on July 31, 08: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Artificial_intelligence&curid=1164&diff=229054759&oldid=228677271. Revert? Move down?

Page sketch:

  1. INTRO TOC
  2. Speculation
  3. History
  4. Philosophy 1/2 Problems
  5. Problems
  6. more probs
  7. Approaches
  8. more approaches
  9. Tools
  10. more tools
  11. Applications
Towards real comprehensiveness (these won't come up)
  1. Could use a tiny section on symbolic learning methods, such as explanation based learning, relevance based learning, inductive logic programming, case based reasoning.
  2. Could use a tiny section on knowledge representation tools, like semantic nets, frames, etc.
  3. Control theory could use a little filling out with other tools used for robotics.
  4. Need a section on raw computing power and intractability.
  5. Look into ways to make the applications section comprehensive, rather than scattershot. I think we need an article applications of AI technology that contains a complete, huge list of all AI's successes. The section in this article should just highlight the various categories.
  6. Does the article completely answer the question "why no HAL 9000?" See User:CharlesGillingham/More/Strong AI

Unsolved problems of artificial intelligence

I think this material needs to be touched on in AI winter, History of AI (which it is), Strong AI and artificial intelligence. Notes in User:CharlesGillingham/More/Strong AI. I think it would be good to collect this all in one place.

List of basic artificial intelligence topics

copy these out from textbook survey

knowlege based AI

This currently redirects to expert systems, which doesn't seem right to me. There should be a singe article, giving the history of the concept. (As mid-70s movement in AI)

logic programming

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


Neats vs. scruffies

  1. This could use some copy editing.
  2. Add more historical information: notably the victory of neats with the work of Judea Pearl and the agent model
  3. Crevier, p. 254: The scoiecty of mind as scruffy. Great quote from Dennett about the essence of "scruffiness."

Category:Game artificial intelligence

Add summary article on the use of artificial intelligence for games. Do we also need an article with the the title "adversarial search"? Retitle existing article. (To what?)

Knowledge representation

Fix factual errors, check for completeness, footnote to sources.

Commonsense knowledge

  1. Find a reference
  2. Write article

Computational intelligence

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

AI effect

  1. Another source: Kurzweil pg. 265
  2. Also, add the bits I've collected in History of AI and AI winter

Chatterbot

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

Merges

Concept mining -- Information extraction

If these truly are the same thing.

Behavior based robotics -- Nouvelle AI -- situated

Software agent-- Intelligent agent --rational agent

  1. See User:CharlesGillingham/Drafts/Agent artcles proposal
  2. Fix disambiguation page
  3. Merge rational agent with the one from economics.

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

  1. Read last two section of R&N
  2. Gather sources on these subjects from other textbooks
  3. Read Kurzweil and Hawkins

Strong AI

See User:CharlesGillingham/More/Strong AI

Moore's Law

  1. Re-Add the illustration.
  2. Comment at the top of "formulations of the law" probably belongs under "futurists and moore's law."
  3. Need an opening graphic that shows transistor density but not on a log-log graph. There is data at instructions per second.
  4. Add section on Sociological and Historical Impact of increasing computer power.
  5. Make a graph showing transportation speeds, engine horsepower, etc., for comparison.
  6. Shouldn't it list a larger and more logical set of exponential trends?

HAL 9000

  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.

Ethics of AI

  1. Research and write this article based on central sources.


Artificial brain

See notes at Talk:artificial brain

Singularity

  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

History of artificial intelligence

  1. Rewrite pitts/mccullough paragraph. Capture the milieu as McCorduck does.
  2. Drop two pages!! You got to be kidding me.
  3. Add references from Pamela McCorduck.
  4. Possible new version of final paragraph.
Marvin Minsky asks "So the question is, where is HAL 9000?" For Minsky, the answer is that too little research has focussed on commonsense reasoning[2] For Han Moravec and Ray Kurzweill the problem is raw computer power.[3] For Jeff Hawkins, it is lack of interest in finding out how real brains work.[4] John McCarthy still blaims the frame and qualification problems.[5]
Additional references needed
  1. Could use a reference on computer power in the 50s for History of artificial intelligence#Birth of artificial intelligence 1943-1956.
  2. Use the NRC report as additional references for The money (did I do this?)
  3. Use more references for AI behind the scenes. Check out AI Now) and also try [2] and [3] and Kurzweil 2005, link to
Skippable things
  1. A sentence linking to embodied philosophy in the section on Rodney Brooks
  2. Consider adding back in other influences (Chomsky, Game Theory, etc.) with Buchanan and/or Russell & Norvig as a source
Peacocks, weasals, etc

Potential WP:PEA

  1. #The first AI Winter 1974-1980: "devastating" -- shown later in article.

Potential WP:AWW

  1. #Birth of AI: "widely considered" -- shown in footnote
  2. #The Golden Years: "astonishing to most people" --- fixed with reference, but we need to find a great 60s era hype quote from the mainstream media.
  3. #AI Underground: "many researchers" -- shown in the following quote.
  4. #Intelligent agents: "widely" -- shown by references

Category:History of artificial intelligence

Read through each article. Add info from Crevier & McCorduck

Timeline of artificial intelligence

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

AI Winter

See also: User:CharlesGillingham/More/AI Winter

Frank Rosenblatt

  1. Add information and sources from Crevier and McCorduck
  2. Remove "disputed" tag.

Donald McKay (computer scientist)

Add this article

Philosophy of artificial intelligence

Philosophy of artificial intelligence

  1. Add section on simulated intelligence vs. real intelligence.
  2. Add Church-Turing, and call Lucas a refutation of that. Use Von Neumann's quote that's in the timeline of artificial intelligence.
  3. Add Kurzweil references. Check Kurzweil's date that machines can simulate a brain.
  4. Give me a better "intelligent agent" definition
  5. Add my new "working definition"
  6. Mention winograd and flores.
  7. Find some legitimate criticism of brain simulation

Category:Philosophy of artificial intelligence

 Done Create and populate

Dreyfus' critique of artificial intelligence

  1. Add responses to "why were we wrong" from McCorduck and elsewhere in the short section on history.
  2. Flesh out the ontological assumption & epitemological assumptions a little better.
  1. Reaction: the chess game, debates, lunch time shenanigans.
  2. Vindication: One reason that Dreyfus ideas were recieved with such hostility is that, in 1965, there was a huge gap between continental philosophers like Merleau-Ponty and Heidegger and the ideas that Newell and Simon were talking about. They simply didn't speak the same language, and Dreyfus was unable to make his points clear to AI researchers. Quote from Papert about phenomenology as "cotton candy! Fluff!"

The gap has since been filled by ...

Chinese Room

  1. Thought experiment is plagiarized from here; rewrite.
  2. Mention that "strong AI" is hard to construe and that some think it has bearing on the Dartmouth proposal.
  3. Find page number for "syntax is insufficient for semantics"
  4. Look at Hauser 97, p. 1, Hauser 05 p. 8, and Harnad 97 p.1 for more (and better) quotes for the history section.
  5. Find reference where Searle talks about the "background". (May have to read a lot of Searle to find this ... )
  6. Check Kurzweil references

Turing Test

  1. Rework this todo list based on Bilby's changes (see Talk:Turing test for what I told Bilby)
  2. Move material on A.J.Ayer up to the top.
  3. A user made an interesting criticism (right after the section where I complimented Bilby)
  4. There is an off topic paragraph under "Real intelligence vs. Simulated intelligence".

How many of these still apply?

  1. Add Turing's description of the test
  2. Under "strengths of the test" add a section that it shelves the discussion of philosophical issues, and allows us to get directly to work.
  3. Make penrose a harvard reference
  4. Page number on Turing 1952 seems to be wrong; also author list appears to be wrong.
  5. There is one link with no title. It appears to be the source code for Jabberwocky?
  6. Check if there are author links to be made.
  7. Title of "intelligent machinery" seems to be wrong in a footnote.
  8. Add Purpose of the test use the stuff you had from Norvig, earlier.
  9. Read up on it: especially Stanford encyclopedia. (I can't believe so many people don't get the spirit of the test. They take it way to seriously.)
  10. Could use some editing and reorganization

Physical symbol system

  1. Add philosophical background from Haugaland and Dreyfus
  2. Write empty sections


Moravec's paradox

  1. Desperately need a second source!!
  2. Need a concise, clear statement of the concept: Moravec's quote doesn't cut it.
  3. Add a first section The Hierarchy of Human Faculties. Quote Shakespeare or Locke about the "highness" of reason. This gives a better idea of what's at stake here. The lead needs rewriting.
  4. Link in and out of embodied philosophy or embodiment or whatever is the key article there.

Computing Machinery and Intelligence

  1. Write section about Turing test (1 para.)
  2. Write section about digital machines (1 para.)
  3. Rewrite replies that don't read well.

Cognitive science

Conceptual metaphor

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

Functionalism (psychology)

  1. Merge into functionalism (philosophy of mind)

Embodiment articles

See Talk:Embodied philosophy

General references:

Theory of computation

Combinatorial explosion

  1. Talk page: isn't this really a concept that has solely to do with algorithms, named by Lighthill? Is this really a mathematical concept, or a property of certain algorithms. A reference would be nice.
  2. Mark as needing references.
  3. Add text about algorithms that experience combinatorial explosions. Disambiguate and expand.

Intractability

  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.
