AI@50: We Are Golden!

چکیده

Happy golden anniversary, artificial intelligence! AI, a field still young as sciences go, is golden in achievement and promise. The 50th anniversary of the naming of our field, at Dartmouth College in 1956, is a time for reminiscence, celebration, and prognostication. We have great successes to celebrate, while most of our failures are along the lines of achieving successful results later than we had predicted in our youthful exuberance. Many of the philosophers who lectured us on what we would never be able to achieve have gone strangely silent. In our early days, to build identity, recruitment, and morale, we often pumped up AI and sometimes slighted related fields, such as cybernetics and pattern recognition; however, this tactic had some unfortunate side effects including a tendency towards isolation. The divorce of AI from robotics was particularly harmful to both fields. Given both our success and our maturity as a field, we are now more open to collaboration and integration with our sister disciplines. This augurs well for the future. This collaboration will be a major theme over the next 50 years. Perhaps by the time of our centennial celebration, we will have realized the vision elaborated by Richard Brautigan, in his poem “All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace” (Brautigan 1967),

Similar Triangles, Another Trace of the Golden Ratio

In this paper we investigate similar triangles which are not congruent but have two pair congruent sides. We show that greatest lower bound of values for similarity ratio of such triangles is golden ratio. For right triangles, we prove that the supremum of values for similarity ratio is the square root of the golden ratio.

Transmission properties of one dimensional fractal structures

In this paper, the optical properties of one dimensional fractal structures are investigated. We consider six typical fractal photonic structures: the symmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the asymmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the single cantor-like fractal structure, the symmetric dual golden-section fractal structure, the asymmetric dual golden-section fractal structure a...
