Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

Defining Artificial Intelligence   


http://theband.hiof.no/band_pictures/artificial_intelligence.jpgThe phrase Artificial Intelligence I, which was coined by John McCarthy three decades ago, evades a concise and formal definition to date. One representative definition is pivoted around the comparison of intelligence of computing machines with human beings . Another definition is concerned with the performance of machines which "historically have been judged to lie within the domain of intelligence" . None of these definitions or the like have been universally accepted, perhaps because of their references to the word "intelligence", which at present is an abstract and immeasurable quantity. A better definition of artificial intelligence, therefore, calls for formalization of the term "intelligence". Psychologist and Cognitive theorists are of the opinion that intelligence helps in identifying the right piece of knowledge at the appropriate instances of decision making. The phrase "artificial intelligence" thus c bane defined as the simulation of human intelligence on a machine, so make the machine efficient to identify and use the right place of "Knowledge" at a given step of solving a problem. A system capable of planning and executing the right task at the right time is generally called rational . Thus, AI alternatively may be stated as a subject dealing with computational models that can think and act rationally 1, 2, 3, 4. A common question then naturally arises: Does rational thinking and acting include all possible characteristics of an intelligent system? If so, how does it represent behavioral intelligence such as machine learning, perception and planning? A little thinking, however, reveals that a system that can reason well must be a successful planner, as planning in many circumstances is part of a reasoning process. Further, a system can act rationally only after acquiring adequate knowledge from the real world. So, perception that stands for building up of knowledge from real world information is a prerequisite feature for rational actions. One step further thinking envisages that a machine without learning capability cannot possess perception. The rational action of an agent (actor), thus, calls for possession of all the elementary characteristics of intelligence. Relating artificial intelligence with the computational models capable of thinking and acting rationally, therefore, has a pragmatic significance.

How To Make Your Computer Talk Like JARVIS

Image
You must have Windows Speech Recognition Macros installed. Follow this LINK to download it. You Must have Watched The Movie  "IRON MAN" ,"The Avengers" and Tony Stark's Talking Computer "JARVIS". Despite being busy, I saw the movie "iron man" a few months ago and since then I was planning on making something similar to"Jarvis" The project development on "human computer interface" and "Gestural interface" has already been started on my side, which is capable of having features like voice recognition, gestural interfaces. Some of those projects have been partially developed and working in the desired manner, but few features and modules are yet to be implemented and are on their way of completion in very short span of time. So lets come to the body of this article.The reason for writing this post for my readers is to share what I've achieved till now in this journey of  Artificia...

DIY You Own Amazon Echo

Hello, readers. First of all, a BIG thank you for the tremendous response on my previous post about why you should not pay for an antivirus. If you missed it, click here to read.  I got many requests after reading the How To Make Your Computer Talk Like JARVIS  post to write up a similar DIY project for Raspberry Pi. So here it is! The Amazon Echo is useful to have around the home. It can play podcasts, take reminders and notes, tell you the length of your commute, even control other appliances in your house. But at prices ranging from $50 to $150, it’s an expensive proposition if you’re not sure you’ll use it. Good news though, you can make a fully-functional one using a Raspberry Pi. What exactly is different about this version? First off, the end result is basically the same: you can activate your DIY Echo by saying the wake word “Alexa,” and the device works just like a real Echo. The installation process here is different th...
