Data compression has been extensively applied to the motion-picture industry and consumer electronics especially in high-definition TVs, advanced multi-media systems, remote sensing systems via satellite, aircraft, radar, teleconferencing, email and social media, mobile phones, hand held PCs etc. Efficient compression of data would significantly decrease the overheads in both the communication ...

Does the United States have a 51st state called Australia! A superficial look at the artificial intelligence (AI) research being done here could give that impression A look beneath the surface, though, indicates some fundamental differences and reveals a dynamic and rapidly expanding AI community General awareness of the Australian AI research community has been growing slowly for some time. AI...

This article provides a discussion of factory design and an artificial intelligence (AI) approach to this problem. Major issues covered include knowledge acquisition and representation, design methodology, system architecture, and communication The facilities design expert system (FADES) developed by the author is presented and described to illustrate issues in factory design. 72 AI MAGAZINE AI...

We describe a hybrid Artificial Intelligence (AI) approach combining soft AI techniques (neural networks) and hard AI methods (alpha-beta game tree search), in an attempt to approximate human play more accurately, in particular with reference to the game of Go. The program is tested and analysed by play against another Go playing program and it is shown that the use of hard AI enhances the perf...

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) systems has to date been largely one of manual labor. This constructionist approach to AI has resulted in systems with limited-domain application and severe performance brittleness. No AI architecture to date incorporates, in a single system, the many features that make natural intelligence general-purpose, including system-wide attention, analogy...

This paper intends to propose an learning agent architecture based on Constructivist AI approach. First we show how Artificial Intelligence can incorporate some concepts from Jean Piaget's psychology to form Constructivist AI as a branch of Symbolic AI. Then we present details about the proposed architecture, discussing the provided agent autonomy. Eventually, we report experimental results.

Artificial Intelligence began as a field probing some of the most fundamental questions of science the nature of intelligence and the design of intelligent artifacts. But it has grown into a discipline that is deeply entwined with commerce and society. Today’s AI technology, such as expert systems and intelligent assistants, pose some difficult questions of risk, trust and accountability. In th...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is concerned with the development of innovative computing systems based on new models that simulate or emulate different aspects of natural intelligence. Such models can exhibit characteristics typically attributed to human intelligence like reasoning, perception, planning, learning, pattern recognition, problem-solving, rationality, and decision making, as well as ...

importance, with Nigel Shadbolt’s editorial in the July/August 2003 issue.5 Other concepts such as ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing, con­ text awareness, and embedded systems overlap with AmI, but there are distinctive differences.6 The Istag reports define AmI at a concep­ tual level and identify important technologies for achieving it.
