What is artificial intelligence?????
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a simulates human
intelligence such as the ability to reason and learn. An advantages for AI, it
can check info on competitor. Four most common categories of AI include :
Expert System – computerized advisory programs
that imitate the reasoning processes of experts in solving difficult problems.
An example of expert system in terms of medical…this basic
tasks are carried out by medical expert system which is diagnosis, prognosis,
treatment, monitoring. In terms of treatment, the patient or physician could
access the system through internet. From here, the user could choose from the
choice of patient’s databases or patience disease database. Each database would
perform the particular task, either from diagnosis module or prediction module.
Then the user will received the feedback through internet so that the treatment
can be performed.
Neural Network – attempts to emulate the way the
human brains works – fuzzy logic – a mathematical method of handling imprecise
or subjective information.
An example of neural network which is bank loans….imagine a
highly experienced bank manager who must decide which customers will qualify
for a loan. His decision is based on a completed application form that contains
ten questions. Each question is answered by a number from 1 to 5 ( some
responses may be subjective in nature). If we had a large number of loan
applications as input, along with the manager’s decision as output, a neural
network could be ‘ trained’ on these patterns. The inner workings of the neural
network have enough mathematical sophistication to reasonably simulate the
expert’s intuition.
Genetic Algorithm – an artificial intelligent
system that mimics the evolutionary, survival-of-the-fittest process to
generate increasingly better to solutions to a problem.
Examples of problems
solved by generic algorithm include mirrors designed to funnel sunlight to a
solar collector, antennae designed to pick up radio signals in space, and
walking methods for computer figures. Many of their solutions have been highly
effective, unlike anything a human engineer would have produced, and
inscrutable as to how they arrived at that solution.
Intelligent Agent – special-purposed
knowledge-based information system that accomplishes specific tasks on behalf
of its users include multi-agent systems and agent-based modeling.
An example of intelligent agent is used in technology in
Travel Reservation Systems…a travel agent, software or human, must not operate
on behalf of any single airline or any other similar company, so that it will
be able to obtain optimum offers for their clients. Therefore, by definition,
the perfect software travel agent will be one owned by a travel agency and will
work to obtain optimum packages for its customers.
The best movie I’ve
ever watched!!!!
