Learning Machines 101 - A Gentle Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Episode Summary: In this episode, we briefly review the concept of the Turing Test for Artificial Intelligence (AI) which states that if a computer.s behavior is indistinguishable from that of the behavior of a thinking human being, then the computer should be called .artificially intelligent.. Some objections to this definition of artificial intelligence are introduced and discussed. At. Read More »

Learning Machines 101 - A Gentle Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Episode Summary: In this episode we will learn how to use .rules. to represent knowledge. We discuss how this works in practice and we explain how these ideas are implemented in a special architecture called the production system. The challenges of representing knowledge using rules are also discussed. Specifically, these challenges include: issues of feature representation, having an. Read More »
