Exam 15: Artificial Intelligence

A neuron is a cell capable of receiving stimuli, in the form of sensory input, from other neurons through its many dendrites.

Discuss why a brute force method for the playing of chess is unmanageable at this juncture.

Explain the characteristics that any knowledge representation scheme that we select must have.

Explain what a drone is and give some examples of how they can be used.

The ____ causes the network to settle into a stable state where it can correctly respond, to any desired degree of accuracy, to all inputs in the training set.

In a neural network, both the knowledge representation and also the "programming" are stored in the network itself as the weights of the connections and the thresholds of the neurons.

A(n)____ begins to not merely wait for user commands but initiates communication, takes action, and performs tasks on its own on the basis of its increasing knowledge of your needs and preferences.

Building a machine that can beat a human at chess was viewed as the last of the "easy" hard problems.

What are the required components of an expert system?

A(n)____ contains facts about a specific subject domain to narrow the scope to a manageable size.

____ is the branch of computer science that explores techniques for incorporating aspects of intelligence into computer systems.

Proponents of the reactive strategy of robotics argue that a robot cannot react meaningfully without processing the stimulus and planning a reaction based on its internal representation of the environment. _________________________

A(n)____, also called an expert system, attempts to mimic the human ability to engage pertinent facts and string them together in a logical fashion to reach some conclusion.
