Artificial Intelligence Synergetic Opportunities in Services: Conversational Systems Perspective

Artificial Intelligence: A Rand Perspective

This article presents a brief history of artificial intelligence research at the Rand Corporation. Rand has long been a leader in the field of AI, beginning with the seminal work of Newell, Shaw, and Simon some thirty years ago, and continues with recent work in expert systems and knowledge-based simulation. This article traces the major accomplishments in AI at Rand with particular emphasis on...

Reimagining Healthcare Opportunities with Artificial Intelligence

Across the world, the healthcare industry is under tremendous pressure to meet the needs of patients who are no longer passive consumers but active participants; of physicians who are struggling to meet the needs of these patients; and of insurance providers that have to streamline payments and healthcare models to align with emerging healthcare delivery and financing models. In such challengin...

Artificial Intelligence in a historical perspective

Artificial-intelligence-augmented systems.

Today, AI is an established and widely recognized field in its own right, that traversed the research and teaching circles of universities and eventually entered the production centers of industries. The field of AI is considered to have been born at a 2-month workshop held in Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH, USA, in the summer of 1956. The workshop was organized by Marvin Minsky and John McCart...

Nebel : Artificial intelligence : A Computational Perspective

The paper provides three novel contributions to knowledge engineering. First, we provide a structured approach for the development and adaptation of problem-solving methods. We start from very generic search strategies with weak data structures and add adapters that refine the states and state transitions of the search process and that add assumptions necessary to link the competence of a metho...
