Artificial Intelligence for Artificial Artificial Intelligence

Crowdsourcing platforms such as Amazon Mechanical Turk have become popular for a wide variety of human intelligence tasks; however, quality control continues to be a significant challenge. Recently, we propose TURKONTROL, a theoretical model based on POMDPs to optimize iterative, crowdsourced workflows. However, they neither describe how to learn the model parameters, nor show its effectiveness...

Long-Term Trends in the Public Perception of Artificial Intelligence

Analyses of text corpora over time can reveal trends in beliefs, interest, and sentiment about a topic. We focus on views expressed about artificial intelligence (AI) in the New York Times over a 30-year period. General interest, awareness, and discussion about AI has waxed and waned since the field was founded in 1956. We present a set of measures that captures levels of engagement, measures o...

Intelligence in Artificial Intelligence

ions of these networks, eg, cube on cube (The Society of Mind by Marvin Minsky, MIT, 1985) and “learning” mechanisms (The Organization of Behavior by Donald O Hebb, 1949) may not constitute intelligence. These processes populate fields with values from the user environment which can be selectively used (per contra hard coded defined sets). For example, NEST Learning Thermostat uses input values...
