Research toward mechanical recognition of speech is laying the foundation for significant advances in pattern recognition and artificial intelligence. This paper explains the nature of some of these advances and provides an introduction to the state of the art of automatic speech recognition.
An artificial brain project in which conceptual models are specified algorithmically is discussed. The feature that distinguishes the approach used in this project from connectionist neural models is its vertical abstraction of brain structure and function. The models comprise multiple local networks of neurons, each of which is a complex network of molecular and chemical processes. The memory manipulation...
There is a need for better approaches to handle the huge amount of data on the rapidly growing number of Web pages. And offering search engines that are either more effective or that conduct new types of searches could mean considerable income for companies. Because of this, several businesses are exploring the use of artificial intelligence approaches such as natural-language processing (NLP) and...
Although there are times when random search is dangerous and should be avoided, software analysis should start with random methods because they are so cheap, moving to the more complex methods only when random methods fail
Artificial intelligence has been a part of videogames since their early days. For game developers, Al has come to mean the broad range of techniques used to generate the behavior of these opponents, battlefield units, team mates, NPCs, or anything else that acts in the game with simulated intelligence. A few of these techniques, such as finite state machines and the heuristic A* search algorithm,...
When will we realize that our artificial-intelligence and autonomous-robotics research projects have been harnessed to manufacture killing machines? This is not terminator-style science fiction but grim reality: South Korea and Israel have both deployed armed robot border guards, while other nations-including China, India, Russia, Singapore, and the UK-increasingly use military robots. Fully autonomous...
Wikis offer tremendous potential to capture knowledge from large groups of people, making tacit, hidden content explicit and widely available. They also efficiently connect those with information to those seeking it.
Biomedical image analysis plays an important role in diagnosing, prognosing, and treating complex diseases. The authors describe a set of techniques for analyzing, processing, and querying large image datasets using semantic and spatial information.
Middleware has incited a gold rush as developers stake their claims across the entertainment computing landscape. As they become more mature, most industries spawn specialized sub-industries. For example, automobile manufacturers don't make their own tires, and aircraft manufacturers don't even make their own jet engines. By aiming to amortize their costs over a wider customer base, specialized companies...
A model based on genetic algorithms views the allocation of people and private vehicles as an optimization problem, anticipating traffic congestion effects and adjusting the infrastructure accordingly.
Despite the technological marvel of the Internet and the rapidly proliferating mobile technologies that are fundamentally changing the way we interact, AI's original "grand dream" remains elusive as we approach the twilight of the first decade in the 21st century. By designing a roadmap to AGI (artificial general intelligence) and creating important benchmarks, we may yet achieve that dream...
By automatically extracting information from the Web, we can scale up the resulting knowledge bases to much greater sizes than current collections of manually gathered and user-contributed knowledge.
Despite science's great intellectual prestige, developing robot scientists will probably be simpler than developing general AI systems because there is no essential need to take into account the social milieu.
Timing is everything. Neurons fire in time-locked fashion to propagate signals and form memories. The cell division cycle, the process by which an adult cell divides into two daughter cells, is carefully orchestrated by rises and decays of regulating protein concentrations. Engineered systems, like data centers, also involve temporal coordination. A few months back, the music service Last.fm had to...
The recently approved ANSI/CEA-2018 standard is motivated by the current usability crisis in computer controlled electronic products. The standard facilitates a new user interface design methodology that uses a task model at runtime to guide users.
As fake Website developers become more innovative, so too must the tools used to protect Internet users. A proposed system combines a support vector machine classifier and a rich feature set derived from Website text, linkage, and images to better detect fraudulent sites.
New technologies help epidemiologists model the socioeconomic context of disease outbreaks. Epidemiologists and computer scientists are developing new data-driven, high-performance-computing-powered inference engines to model the socioeconomic context and strategies necessary to counter disease outbreaks.
Artificial intelligence once sought to make computers complex enough to become sophisticated participants in human culture. These same techniques now simplify humans enough to integrate them into computer culture.
