As “The Return of the King” is taking the world by storm I think it is suiting to point to this entertaining and informative article from Popular Science last November (after the release of “The Two Towers“). The article explains the AI system that is used to control the characters in the massive battle [...]

A Collaborative Approach to the Turing Test
Posted in Artificial intelligence on December 6, 2003 | 2 Comments »
Despite that its importance may be debated, the Turing Test at least poses a very hard and interesting computer science problem: How to build a program that can engage in a text conversation with a human being so that the human cannot tell if it is a computer or another human it is talking [...]
The Turing Test and Extrasensory Perception
Posted in Artificial intelligence on December 5, 2003 | No Comments »
Having been interested in Artificial Intelligence for a long time, I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I hadn’t read Alan Turing’s famous article: “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” until today. This is the article where the Imitation Game - later known as the Turing Test - is put forward.
Although I was familiar with most of [...]
When People are Cheaper than Technology
Posted in Artificial intelligence, Ideas, Uncategorized on October 29, 2003 | 1 Comment »
Technologically minded people tend to look for technological solutions to the problems they face. Naturally so, but every technological solution can be improved. There is always another solution, simpler and better than the current one. Most inventors will admit that they know a lot of ways to improve on their solutions - an optimization [...]
Translation Tools
Posted in Artificial intelligence on October 25, 2003 | 4 Comments »
Machine translations have been somewhat of a holy grail in AI and language technologies for decades. And for a good reason. In a world of ever increasing international business and cooperation, effective communication is crucial. Fast and reliable, automated translations would therefore be of tremendous value, but despite serious efforts it is still far [...]
Human vs. Computer - so we haven’t lost at chess?
Posted in Artificial intelligence on October 11, 2003 | No Comments »
It came as a shock to many of us when Deep Blue defeated Kasparov in a 6 game match in 1997. A computer had beaten the best human player in this game that to many is a defining symbol of human intellect. Even though it was “only chess”, it had to be a sign [...]
Gathering common sense
Posted in Artificial intelligence on September 20, 2003 | 1 Comment »
As stated in the glossary, one of the problems in Artificial Intelligence is software’s lack of common-sense knowledge about the world. Of course AI is a wide field and lack of common sense does not hurt Deep Blue’s chess playing abilities or the capabilities of an OCR program to recognize characters, both of which [...]
