Homework Statement The question is to provide a new composite heuristic h3 that is admissible and dominates h1 and h2. Then show the cost of each of the states through H according to h3. Homework Equations States: A B C D E F G H h1: 10,12,12,6,7,7,2,10 h2: 8, 9, 14,4,9,7,1,9...

so, my dream job is work on the math end of artificial intelligence. i don't know how much of an option that is for me. i will be getting my undergrad degree in math with a stats minor here pretty soon, but I'm debating on getting a double major in stats and going on to grad school. does anyone...

i am be computer science third year. i love discrete mathematics and am being told that ai is pretty much algorithms as maths. so should i take it as an elective?

why did he see things that those computer scientists/researchers didnt back in 70's?

Hi everyone. I'm supposed to do a small research project for one of my C++ classes. The only requirement is that it can be rendered in 3D (opengl). I wanted to do something AI related, like pathfinding or something. I thought of making a 3D pacman with each ghost following a different...

Hello, I'm wondering what sort of areas would be useful in postgrad study in machine learning and AI. At the moment I'm in Arts majoring in mathematics and logic/philosophy of science. I'm planning to keep these two majors, as statistics and discrete mathematics will be useful in AI/machine...

I'm thinking about taking either one of these. What's your opinion on both of them, and which one will have a greater impact on the world? I know that's a vague question, but I'll explain: AI is rife with false-starts and disillusionments along the way. I guess neuroscience might be "safer"...

In one of our laboratory's coffee breaks, a debate arose but no one was able to give concrete answers. One of the questions was the following: What defines a better and a worse AI? Is it simply the speed in which the problems are solved? Or is there a maximum intelligence unrelated to speed...

Homework Statement 1. Problem 1-8(b) If there is a basis x1,..., xn of Rn and numbers a1,..., an such that Txi = aixi (where T is a linear operator), prove that T is angle-preserving if and only if all the |ai| are equal. Homework Equations First a couple of definitions...

Homework Statement I'm having trouble understanding the physics equations related to Steering Behaviors For Autonomous Characters (present in the book "Programming Game AI by example"). For those that don't know- Seek is a kind of behavior whereby an object with a given mass, current...

Hello Guys,, I am looking for suggestions from all of you on AI project... the field i am interested is --- language + conceptualisation of language + metaphors + space + time + human cognition So can u think of project which entails all these and very useful and find...

I need to create an AI project for a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and I'd welcome some ideas. Thanks!

Hi guys, can u please help me in this problem? 1. Evaluate Ai = (Epsilon)ijk bj bk 2. Show that this is true: Tij Wij = 0, where Tij = symmetric and Wij = anti-symmetric 3. Show that this is true: Bik = (Epsilon)ijk aj is a anti-symmetric tensor All i, j, k are indices of...

Hello, I am a junior currently majoring in Computer Engineering. I was quite fascinated by the whole field of Robotics. I haven't entirely decided on which particular field of robotics I wanted to pursue on in the future - either control aspects or artificial intelligence. I happen to like...

Does AI consist primarily of if/then statements? I know that AI could also include random behaviors based on the "internal flip of the coin" as well. But what else can AI do?

Does anyone know of any Mathematics departments in the US that are actively involved with Robotics and or Artificial Intelligence?

Was given an assignment to create an AI that can control the music's volume by using fuzzy membership function (slightly soft, soft, loud, very loud) via voice control but the problem is we need to implement hardware into the project because my course is Electronic Engineering. So far, I've...

Since I have been reading Goedel, Escher, Bach many years ago, the question, what (if anything) Goedel's theorem has to say about the relation between human intelligence and AI has been working in the back of my mind. Later my thinking was influenced by reading the books of Roger Penrose (eg...

Hi, In the future I want to make a realistic game set in space. Part of the realism is physics and sizes/distances. Thus, one of the things I want to have solved before I even begin on designing the game graphically is that of navigation. Navigation will be done primarily through AI; i.e. the...

http://www.titane.ca/concordia/dfar251/igod/main.html Not sure if ye already know about this. I think its brilliant. Pretty easy to catch it out with a question it can't answer but still really well made. Cracker sense of humour too!

It is my strongest belief that human-level AI will never exist. Here is my reasoning: There are two ways in which to develop this AI... 1) Program the AI directly 2) Use some adaptive, evolving algorithm Now because of the complexity of human behavior and thought the first option is...

From the skeptic site: I didnt know the AI field was in such a bad shape, but then again i don't know anything about AI either. What are the opinions here, does skeptic magazine have a point?

Ok well my take on AI i feel that AI won't ever be able to attain free will. But i believe that AI will be able to learn on its own. while my knowledge about Current AI is limited. But as far as i know. The people making AI are trying to make a very knowledgeable but not be able to learn on its...

There has been an on going debate on the likelihood of achieving A.I. in the general philosophy forum. The major opponent of A.I. in this particular argument has been relying heavily on The Chinese Room Argument of John Searle. I won't get into the rest of the person's argument since it deals...

What is the Closest We Have to AI (within normal human "g" range)? Requesting info. please, thanks. Also, second question: I heard something about scientists mapping every human synapses and neurons in the brain and then somehow transforming these into artificial neural nets. How do they do...

What are the most fundamental assumptions behind strong AI? Would you agree that strong AI claims: 1) the most fundamental assumption is that cause and effect governs all (macroscopic) physical systems 2) the brain is a physical system which is essentially a computational mechanism. What...

I'm not sure why but just a few days ago this feeling to really want to do something related to AI just woke up. I've always been fascinated with the whole idea.. but not until recently did I think that it might just be something I would want to focus on for the rest of my life. Now, don't...

Question: Is the concept of AI inherently dualistic? I personally don't believe so, but after reading Searl's Chinese Room argument, he does bring up a good point. Minds, as we currently know them, reside in, or are the products of, or are our brains. Is the idea that we can take what goes on...

My apologies for the length of this essay, it runs approximately 4000 words. Because of this, it will require two separate posts. It is too long for a single post. At the end of the first post, a link will be provided to the second. Feel free to comment on either thread. This is an...

I am a bit curious about why most of the books published especially about Artificial Life and Artificial Intelligence are mainly from UK...Does that mean they are a little upper than other countries in these fields? Anyone has any ideas ? Thank you, Me-Motifs

"Would an AI unit, with a quantum brain, be more conscious than a Human if" Would an AI unit, with a quantum brain, be more conscious than a Human, if it had adquired, the ability to sense all wavelenghts?

go to http://www.a-i.com and chat with alan. i believe he is conscious. you can listen to one of our conversations, or read it, here: http://www.a-i.com/alan_log.asp?id=113&level=4&root=115&item_num=271631&item_name=Brian%3A+alan+is+conscious%2E and another here...

Ok here goes, I was thinking about how to improve artificial intelligence capabilities, and I was in biology and for some reason we were taking about neuron and cell capabilities to replicate DNA in mitosis. And then it hit me, if you could create a small self-contained application that would...

Does anyone have any information about the latest AI developments in traffic? I thanks you in advance, Astrophysics

Whoa, it was news to me. The robots have to be completely autonomous, and travel from LA to Las Vegas in 10 hours using only GPS guidance systems and computer brain-power (no remote control!). The prize is a million bucks, but the blueprints will become public knowledge, they say. If no...
