Exam 13: Artificial Intelligence and Automation

Some robots have limited vision that is useful for locating and picking up objects, as long as the objects are isolated from other objects.

Explanation capabilities can be added to a decision support system (DSS)by integrating it with a(n)_____.

To solve a problem, a case-based reasoning application first ________ the most similar case from the library of past cases.

Briefly discuss the types of activities performed by a natural-language processing (NLP)system.

Integrating NLP into the user interface component of a system makes it more difficult to use for decision makers who are not computer savvy.

Describe how fuzzy logic works with an example.

_____ are networks that learn and are capable of performing tasks that are difficult with conventional computers.

Robots are one of the most successful applications of artificial intelligence (AI).

A _____ agent can be used to perform specific tasks for a user, such as remembering information for filling out Web forms.

In the context of machine learning, an artificial neural network (ANN)is most likely used for:

_____ consists of related technologies that try to simulate and reproduce human thought behavior, including thinking, speaking, feeling, and reasoning.

_____ are used with neural networks and fuzzy logic systems to solve scheduling, engineering design, and marketing problems.

Intelligent agents demonstrate _____, which is the ability to select problems or situations that need attention and act on them.

Fuzzy logic allows computers to ______ in a similar fashion to humans.

Fuzzy logic helps computers simulate greater precision when sufficient data about a situation is not available.

_____ agents usually track and report on computer equipment and network systems to predict when a system crash or failure might occur.

_____ consist of common sense, rules of thumb, educated guesses, and instinctive judgments.

In the context of the knowledge base component of an expert system, _____ knowledge, enables an expert system to learn from experience and examine and extract relevant facts to determine the path to a solution.

Intelligent agents are used for virtual catalogs.

Explain how an artificial neural network (ANN)creates a model.
