Exam 14: Artificial Intelligence

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) ____ is a form of software technology that is designed to interact collaboratively with a user somewhat in the mode of a personal assistant.

Computers fall below humans where there seems to be a high level of complexity and ambiguity.

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

A formal language sacrifices precision of expression for richness of expression.

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 ____ for a search algorithm illustrates the possible next choices of items to search if the current item is not the target.

The ____ test tests to see if a machine exhibits behavior indistinguishable from a human.

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

The "instance" relationship shows that something is an object of a class.

A(n) ____ is an assistant service that comes with some desktop office software.

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

The ____ intelligence model captures the behavior of an ant colony by using simple agents that operate independently.

____ is a well-known humanoid robot built by Honda Motor Company.

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.

The ____ uses heuristic algorithms to allow a robot to respond directly to stimuli from its environment without filtering through some line of reasoning based on its internal understanding of that environment.

A ____ for a binary search reflects the fact that if the current item is not the target, there are only two next choices: the midpoint of the sublist before the node or the midpoint of the sublist after the node.

Rule-based systems have been restricted to the field of medicine due to its inefficiency.

The term ____ means "method of assertion."

A ____ is a graph with nodes and connecting nodes used to represent information.
