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."

Game artificial intelligence and Category:Game artificial intelligence

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

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

See User:CharlesGillingham/AI effect

Chatterbot

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

Cognitive simulation

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

Concept mining -- Information extraction

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

Strong AI

See User:CharlesGillingham/More/Strong AI

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.

This article is currently nothing more than a few notes jotted by a few people at various times. To create a comprehensive and informative article on the subject, we need citations to the most notable commentary on the subject. I think the sources should be (at least)

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

Main page: User:CharlesGillingham/More/History AI

Timeline of artificial intelligence

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

AI Winter

See also: User:CharlesGillingham/More/AI Winter

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
  8. Mention that "strong AI" is hard to construe and that some think it has bearing on the Dartmouth proposal.
  9. Undo this change: [1]
  10. Additional references (read and use, if you like)


Dreyfus' critique of artificial intelligence

  1. Reread and finish "psychological assumption". Plough through this book, asshole, so I can finish this article.

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. 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

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

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.

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.

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?
