Elementary epistemological features of machine intelligence

Theoretical analysis of machine intelligence (MI) is useful for defining a common platform in both theoretical and applied artificial intelligence (AI). The goal of this paper is to set canonical definitions that can assist pragmatic research in both strong and weak AI. Described epistemological features of machine intelligence include relationship between intelligent behavior, intelligent and ...

Design, Construction and Performance Evaluation of the Walnut Cracking Machine

The traditional method in Iran of cracking walnut manually, using harmer or knife cutter is laborintensive, slow and tedious; besides, most mechanical crackers do not give satisfactory results in terms of kernel extraction quality. A prototype machine was developed to crack walnut. A walnut cracker was designed, constructed and tested to evaluate its performance. The cracker, which consists of ...

Machine Learning for Drug Design

A common step in drug design is the formation of a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) to model an exploratory series of compounds. A QSAR generalizes how the structure of a compound relates to its biological activity. There is growing interest in the application of machine learning techniques in QSAR modeling research. However, no single technique can claim to be uniformly supe...
