Artificial Intelligence and Learning Computers

drippy Intelligence & Learning Computers Presented by S. DEEPAKKUMAR Abstract The term artificial intelligence is used to pull in a property of cable cars or programmes the intelligence that the system demonstrates. Among the traits that researchers hope machines will exhibit are reasoning, knowledge, planning, learning, communication, perception and the qualification to move and manipulate objects. Constructing robots that per cast of characters smart tasks has always been a highly motivating factor for the science and technology of study processing.Unlike philosophy and psychology, which are also concerned with intelligence, AI strives to build salubrious entities such as robots as well as understand them. Although no unrivalled can predict the future in detail, it is clear that figurers with human- train intelligence (or better) would shake up a huge impact on our each(prenominal)day lives and on the future course of civilization uneasy Networks have been proposed as an alternative to Symbolic Artificial Intelligence in causeing intelligent systems. They are motivated by computation in the brain.Small Threshold computing elements when put together produce powerful information processing machines. In this paper, we put forth the foundational ideas in artificial intelligence and important concepts in Search Techniques, Knowledge Representation, Language Understanding, Machine Learning, Neural deliberation and such other disciplines. Artificial Intelligence Starting from a modest exactly an over ambitious effort in the late 50s, AI has grown through its share of joys, disap directments and self-realizations. AI deals in science, which deals with creation of machines, which can think like humans and behave rationally.AI has a goal to automate every machine. AI is a very vast field, which spans Many application domains like Language Processing, Image Processing, Resource Scheduling, Prediction, Diagnosis etc. Many types of technologies like heuri stic Search, Neural Networks, and Fuzzy Logic etc. Perspectives like solving complex line of works and understanding human cognitive processes. Disciplines like Computer Science, Statistics, Psychology, etc. DEFINITION OF intuition & TURING TEST The Turing Test, proposed by Alan Turing (1950), was designed to provide a satisfactory definition of intelligence.Turing defined intelligent behavior as the ability to achieve human-level performance in all cognitive tasks, sufficient to fool an interrogator. Roughly speaking, the test he proposed is that the computer should be interrogated by a human via a teletype, and passes the test if the interrogator cannot tell if there is a computer or a human at the other end. His theorem (the Church-Turing thesis) states that Any effective procedure (or algorithm) can be use through a Turing machine. Turing machines are abstract mathematical entities that are composed of a tape, a read-write head, and a finite-state machine.The head can either read or write symbols onto the tape, basically an input-output device. The head can change its position, by either moving left or right. The finite state machine is a retrospect/central processor that keeps track of which of finitely many states it is currently in. By knowing which state it is currently in, the finite state machine can pose which state to change to next, what symbol to write onto the tape, and which direction the head should move. Requirement of an Artificial Intelligence system No AI system can be called intelligent unless it learns & reasons like a human.Reasoning derives new information from given(p)(p) ones. Areas of Artificial Intelligence Knowledge Representation Importance of knowledge representation was realized during machine translation effort in early 1950s. Dictionary look up and word replacement was a tedious job. at that place was ambiguity and ellipsis problem i. e. many words have different meanings. Therefore having a dictionary used for trans lation was not enough. One of the study challenges in this field is that a word can have more than one meaning and this can result in ambiguity. E. g. Consider the following sentence Spirit is strong but flesh is weak.When an AI system was made to convert this sentence into Russian & then back to English, following output was observed. Wine is strong but shopping mall is rotten. Thus we come across two main obstacles. First, it is not easy to take informal knowledge and state it in the formal terms inevitable by logical notation, particularly when the knowledge is less than 100% certain. Second, there is a big difference between cosmos able to solve a problem in principle and doing so in practice. Even problems with just a few dozen facts can exhaust the computational resources of any computer unless it has some guidance as to which reasoning steps to try first.A problem may or may not have a solution. This is why debugging is one of the most challenging jobs faced by programme rs today. As the rule goes, it is impossible to create a program which can predict whether a given program is going to terminate ultimately or not. Development in this part was that algorithms were written using foundational development of vocabulary and dictionary entries. Limitations of the algorithm were found out. subsequently Formal Systems were developed which contained axioms, rules, theorems and an orderly form of representation was developed. For example, Chess is a formal system.We use rules in our everyday lives and these rules accompany facts. Rules are used to construct an efficient expert system having artificial intelligence. Important components of a Formal System are Backward Chaining i. e. trying to figure out the content by reading the sentence backward and link each word to some other, Explanation Generation i. e. generating an explanation of whatever the system has understand, Inference Engine i. e. submitting an inference or replying to the problem. Reasoni ng It is to use the stored information to answer questions and to draw new conclusions.Reasoning means, drawing of conclusion from observations. Reasoning in AI systems work on three principles viz. DEDUCTION Given 2 events P & Q, if P is true then Q is also true. E. g. If it rains, we cant go for a picnic. INDUCTION Induction is a process where in , after studying certain facts , we reach to a conclusion. E. g. Socrates is a man all men are mortal therefore Socrates is mortal. ABDUCTION P implies Q, but Q may not always depend on P. E. g. If it rains , we cant go for a picnic. The fact that we are not in a position to go for a picnic does not mean that it is training.There can be other reasons as well. Learning The most important indispensableness for an AI system is that it should learn from its mistakes. The best way of teaching an AI system is by training & testing. Training involves teaching of basic principles involved in doing a job. Testing process is the real test of t he knowledge acquired by the system wherein we give certain examples & test the intelligence of the system. Examples can be compulsory or negative. Negative examples are those which are near miss of the positive examples. Natural Language Processing (NLP) NLP can be defined as ? Processing of info in the form of natural language on the computer. I. e. making the computer understand the language a normal human being speaks. It deals with under structured / semi structured data formats and converting them into complete understandable data form. The reasons to process natural language are Generally because it is exciting and interesting, commercially because of sheer volume of data available online, Technically because it eases out Computer-Human interaction. NLP helps us in Searching for information in a vast NL (natural language) database. psychoanalysis i. e. extracting structural data from natural language. Generation of structured data. Translation of text from one natural l anguage to other. Example English to Hindi. Application Spectrum of NLP It provides report and translational aids. Helps humans to generate Natural Language with proper spelling, grammar, style etc. It allows text mining i. e. information retrieval, search engines text categorization, information extraction. NL port wine to database, web software system, and question answer explanation in an expert system.There are four procuring levels in NLP 1. Lexical at word level it involves pronunciation errors. 2. Syntactical at the structure level acquiring knowledge about the grammar and structure of words and sentences. Effective representation and implementation of this allows effective manipulation of language in respect to grammar. This is usually implemented through a parser. 3. Semantic at the meaning level. 4. Pragmatic at the context level. Hurdles There are various hurdles in the field of NLP, especially speech processing which result in increase in complexity of the system. We know that, no two people on earth can have similar accent and pronunciations. This difference in style of communicating results in ambiguity. Another major problem in speech processing understands of speech due to word boundary. This can be clearly understood from the following example I got a plate. / I got up late. Universal Networking Language This is a part of natural language processing. The key feature of a machine having artificial intelligence is its ability to communicate and interact with a human. The only means for communication and interaction is through language.The language being used by the machine should be understood by all humans. Example of such a language is ENGLISH. UNL is an artificially developed language consisting universal word library, universal concepts, universal rules and universal attributes. indispensability of UNL is that a computer needs capability to process knowledge and content recognition. Thus UNL becomes a platform for the computer to comm unicate and interact. Vision (Visibility Based golem Path Planning) Consider a moving robot. There are two things, robots have to think and perform while moving from one place to another . Avoid collision with stationary and moving objects. 2. Find the shortest distance from source to destination. One of the major problems is to find a collision free path amidst obstacles for a robot from its starting position to its destination. To avoid collision two things can be done viz 1) Reduce the object to be moved to a sharpen form. 2) Give the obstacles some extra space. This method is called Mikownski method of path planning. Recognizing the object and unified it with the contents of the image library is another method.It included corresponding matching and depth understanding, edge detection using idea of zero crossing and stereo matching for distance estimation. For analysis, it also considers robot as a point body. Second major problem of path planning is to find the shortest path. The robot has to calculate the Euclidean distance between the starting and the ending points. Then it has to form algorithms for computing visibility graphs. These algorithms have certain rules associated with. OJoin lesser number of vertices to reduce complexity. ODivide each object into triangles.OPut a node in each triangle and aggregate all of them. OReduce the unnecessary areas because they might not contribute to the shortest path. OCompute minimum link path and proceed. This problem of deciding shortest path prevails. Robot might be a bulky and a huge object so cant be realized as a point. Secondly a robot is a mechanical body which cant turn instantly so it has to follow the procedure of wait-walk-wait-turn-wait-walk- which is very time-consuming and so not feasible. Therefore shortest distance should have minimum number of turns associated with it.For path planning the robot has to take a snap shot of the area it is going to cover. This snap shot is neat in the above men tioned ways and then the robot moves. But then the view changes with every step taken. So it has to do the calculation at every step it takes which is very time consuming and tedious. Experts decided to make the robot take the snap shot of the viewable distance and decide the path. But this again becomes a problem because the device used for viewing will have certain limitation of distance. Then these experts came to a conclusion that the robot be given a fixed parameter i. . take to take the snap shot of a fixed distance say 10 meters, analyze it and decide the shortest path. Neural-networks Neural networks are computational consisting of simple nodes, called units or processing elements which are linked by weighted connections. A neural network maps input to output data in terms of its own internal connectivity. The term neural network derives from the obvious nervous system analogy of the human brain with processing elements dower as nerve cells and connection weights equivalen t to the variable synaptic strengths.Synapses are connections between neurons they are not physical connections, but miniscule gaps that allow electric signals to prove across from neuron to neuron. Dendrites carry the signals out to the various synapses, and the cycle repeats. Let us take an example of a neuron It uses a simple computational technique which can be defined as follows y= 0 if ? Wi Xi ? Where ? is threshold value Wi is weight Xi is input Now this neuron can be trained to perform a particular logical operation like AND. The equivalent neural network simulation for AND function is given on the left and its equation format on the right.Perceptron training convergence theorem Whatever be the initial choice of the weights, the PTA will eventually converge by finding the correct weight values provided the function being trained is linearly separable. This implies Perceptron Training Algorithm will absorb the threshold with negative weight. ?

Expert systems like Mycin can help doctors in diagnosing patients. AI systems can also help us in making airline enquiries and bookings using speech rather than menus. Unmanned cars moving about in the city would be reality with further advancements in AI systems.Also with the advent of VLSI techniques, FPGA chips are being used in neural networks. The future of AI in making intelligent machines looks incredible but some tolerant of spiritual understanding will have to be inculcated into the machines so that their decision making is governed by some principles and boundaries.
