The Knowledge Level President ial

چکیده
This is the first presidential address of AAAI, the American Association for Artificial Intelligence. In the grand scheme of history, even the history of artificial intelligence (AI), this is surely a minor event. The field this scientific society represents has been thriving for quite some time. No doubt the society itself will make solid contributions to the health of our field But it is too much to expect a presidential address to have a major impact. So what is the role of the presidential address and what is the significance of the first one? 1 believe its role is to set a tone, to provide an emphasis. I think the role of the first address is to take a stand about what that tone and emphasis should be-to set expectations for future addresses and to communicate to my fellow presidents. Only two foci are really possible for a presidential address: the state of the society or the state of the science. I believe the latter to be the correct focus. AAAI itself, its nature and its relationship to the larger society that surrounds it, are surely important.* However, our main business is to help AI become a science-albeit a science with a strong engineering flavor. Thus, though a president’s address cannot be narrow or highly technical, it can certainly address a substantive issue. That is what I propose to do. I wish to address the question of knowledge and representation. That is a little like a physicist wishing to address the question of radiation and matter. Such broad terms designate

متن کاملComparative effects of a non-steroidal ecdysone agonist RH-5992 and 20-hydroxyecdysone in a lepidopteran cell line (IAL-PID2).
The non-steroidal ecdysone agonist, RH-5992, exhibits ecdysteroid activities in vivo as well as in vitro more effectively than 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E). Using the IAL-PID2 cells derived from imaginal wing discs of last larval instar of Plodia interpunctella, we investigated the action of RH-5992 in the control of cell growth. Its effects on the proliferative activity of IAL-PID2 cells, the indu...

Infiltrating angiolipoma of the lower lip: A case report and literature review
Infiltrating angiolipoma (IAL) is a rare lesion and is a clinicopathological variant of angiolipoma. IAL occurs most commonly in the trunk and extremities, it is rarely found in the head and neck regions and extremely rare in the oral cavity. This study presents the case of a 74-year-old female with IAL of the lower lip. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of IAL arising in the...
