Exam 15: Artificial Intelligence

Although ____________________ incorporate a body of knowledge to "filter" their choices and thereby appear to capture certain aspects of human reasoning, they still perform relatively limited tasks.

Intelligent searching involves applying some ____ to evaluate the differences between the present state and the goal state, and to move us to a new state that minimizes those differences.

Computers are better than humans where there seems to be a high level of complexity, approximation, or ambiguity.

It has been said of intelligent agent technology that once a sufficient level of trust has been achieved, and when human users are willing to allow their software to make independent decisions, we will begin to see exciting new applications. List one.

The term ____ means the language of formal logic.

Complex recognition tasks are easy for computers to perform.

Provide at least three examples of an intelligent agent.

The term ____ means "method of assertion."

Explain in detail what swarm intelligence is.

A ____ takes us from the initial state to a winning configuration, and the graph nodes along the way represent the intermediate configurations.

Any knowledge representation scheme we select must be relatively easy to extend to include new knowledge.

At periodic time intervals, ____ technology downloads updated, personalized information on your screen.

Forward chaining begins with assertions and tries to match those assertions to the "if" clauses of rules, thereby generating new assertions. _________________________

Explain the idea of the Turing test.

If an output neuron fires when it is not supposed to, then the positive input values coming into it are adjusted upward . _________________________

In some areas of the brain, an individual neuron may collect signals from as many as 100,000 other neurons and send signals to equally large number of other neurons.

Talk about some of the current applications for robots. What may robots do for us in the future?

The Turing test is used to determine if a machine exhibits behavior indistinguishable from __________.

A __________ is presented with training data, for which the correct outputs are known.

____ begins with assertions and tries to match those assertions to the "if" clauses of rules.
