Rise of the Machines! I believe this time the machines had something to say time and caused havoc in our center and studio! Fortunately the revolution of those machines was contained and solved 😀
Welcome to the science part, like in the sci-fi part we have our special guest:
- Prof. Horia Pop – Professor of Computer Science at the Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca.
We start with Karl asking Prof. Horia Pop a brief description between weak and strong AI.
Then after going through some examples we discussed the following points::
Weak AI: Problems:
- Reasoning, problem solving
- Knowledge representation
- Planning
- Learning
- NLP (written, spoken)
- Perception
- Motion, robotic arms
Weak AI: Methods, techniques:
- Search and optimization
- Logic, automated reasoning
- classifiers, clustering, statistical learning
- Soft computing
- probabilistic methods for uncertain reasoning
- neural networks, deep, recurrent
- fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic
- (fuzzy) controllers
- evolutionary computing
- self-organizing maps (example websom)
- intelligent agents, multi-agent systems
Machine learning:
- i.e. methods that learn from and make predictions on data
- Decision tree learning
- Association rule learning
- Artificial neural networks
- Support vector machines
- Clustering
- Bayesian networks
- Reinforcement learning
- Principal components analysis and relatives
- Similarity and metric learning
- Multidimensional scaling
- Sparse dictionary learning
- Genetic algorithms
Growing Societal impacts of AI
- Increased economic efficiencies will lead to rising general unemployment
- Could unemployment become the ‘new normal’
- Will this break the covenant between society and the citizen to provide work?
- How might a citizen’s role in society change?
