Hello all,

We're making this sub read-only, so no new posts or comments will be allowed.

As mentioned on the side bar, for general discussion of artificial intelligence, check out /r/artificial which is still active.

If the class starts up again (which seems unlikely at this point) we will consider opening up for new submissions.

I was going through some ideas involving game programming, and wanted to know if there was some terms for different types of AI is was thinking of. As in, there is the full-fledged AI, where the program is set to learn and adapt, and is essentially a simulation of real consciousness. And then there is the primitive video game sprite AI, where based on any given set of limited possible circumstances, the sprite character will perform an action to make it behave like a live creature. Perhaps the second type is just an extremely simplified version of the first type.

Anyways, I was planning on programming the second type, simple animated sprite behaviors. So far all I have experience in is some C programming and going to delve into OpenGL soon.

Hello everyone! I would like to learn how to handle different projects intelligence artificile (possibly with python). Googling seems that the libraries are the most common Scikit learn and Pybrain. These two libraries use very different approaches, the first and most statistical, the second with neural networks.

1. in addition to the statistical method and neural there are other methods?
2. what method it will ensure better results for supervised learning (classification, regression) and unsupervised?

In general my question is that I do not know where to start, there are several algorithms to do the same thing (for example, facial recognition or voice you can do both with statistical methods, both with neural networks) and do not know where to start studying.

thanks :)

I am getting ready to start my undergraduate studies and am planning to double major in finance/statistics or finance/analytics...I want to eventually work for an artificial intelligence company. Will a stats or analytics major let me or do I need to do computer science? Is there anything a stats major has to offer? Thank you very much

I am currently writing a paper for an ethics class and I want to write about AI portrayal in film and how it may impact research on AI. The reason I am interested in this is because usually AI and robots are portrayed negatively in films (Terminator, iRobot, etc...) and I want to see if that has a negative impact on public perception of AI and thus decreased interest and research for AI. I do want to touch upon though how some movies may benefit AI research (like Interstellar) when AI is portrayed in a positive light (ie....TARS didn't end up killing everyone).

Do any of you have any suggestions for articles or book chapters that touch upon some of these ideas? Are my ideas too broad? Also, what films can you think of that portray AI in a positive light or negative light?

Are we doomed?! Apparently, AI getting smarter than humans is inevitable and to be expected soon enough. I came across these comics and the story is not naive at all. According to it - humans end up in the Zoo!

Anyway, I had an argument with my husband after this and he's quite convinced that singularity (AI smarter than humans) is a natural course of evolution! Now, I don't know about you, but for me it is a disturbing thought.

So, my question is, what do you think will happen? Will the humans survive this?

Thanks! Looking forward to reading your answers :)

Hopefully this is the right place to post; I've been working on a neural network for a class, and it's all on javascript. I can't quite get a network to work the way I want it to, and I've been trying to straighten up my code for a few hours. As of now I want to be clearer on back propogation; even training an XOR network is impossible for my network. Can someone give me a few headers regarding networks? I've tried googling but so far different sites seemed to tell me different things. Github: https://github.com/josephch405/josephc16111747_doubleMoon

Quick update: works now, thanks for the suggestions! Check it out on Github.

Hi,

I just got admitted to the MSc in Artificial Intelligence program at UPC. Has any of the redditors been/studied there? How did you like the program?

The other thing is that I am hesitating between a one-year Advanced Software Development at the Univercity College Dublin and the 1.5-year AI programm at UPC. As much as exciting the AI sounds I have some doubts about it being useful in work after the graduation. Any comments on that?

I have pretty solid experience as a mid-level java programmer, nothing exceptional - frameworks, java/javascript, oop, some design patterns. It got kinda boring after a while, but at the same time I am hesitant if the AI course would be tooo demanding for my dried-out brain. How much prerequisite knowlenge should one have before starting a AI course (math, comp science)?

tl;dr: many questions regarding starting a AI course :)

I think this might be the wrong subreddit, so please redirect me if this post upsets you.

Anyway, I'm taking a graduate seminar this semester on Sequential Decision Making - stuff on MDPs, POMDPs, Game Theory, Reinforcement Learning, and so on. We have to do a project for the semester, and its completely open-ended. We should end up writing some code and a 5-page research paper on whatever we come up with, and obviously it should be about SDM.

Do you guys have any ideas on interesting projects involving Sequential Decision Making? Preferably ones that don't already have established solutions? We don't want to solve GridWorld, for instance. The scope is something that could be done in a month by two inexperienced graduate students.

Sorry for the vagueness of the assignment; I assure you its just as open-ended as the description we were given :)

Hi everyone, where can i start learning about AI scheduling algorithms such as genetic algorithm, etc.

Any books, sites, tutorials, etc with examples and practical guidance?

Regards

Hello All, After i completed AI course one year ago i got the idea and started to work on http://myeducationpath.com project. Now i would like to suggest other students of AI class to try my tool and add AI course to their education passport http://myeducationpath.com/courses/3863/Introduction+to+Artificial+Intelligence.htm

I will be very grateful for feedback about MyEducationPath.com Thanks.

I am new to AI/ML and I think it may be a field I want to make a career out of. In particular, I want to apply AI/ML to education and how it can be used to allow everyone to learn. Please give tips on where to start on this journey. Thank you.

I like the multiagent metaphor for solving some data collection and processing projects. Wondering what systems people are using and what problems they are solving.

Hello, people. I want (or I need) to make a presentation about Induction (and it's relation with AI). So I would want to hear from you some simple and interesting examples of it, what it is, maybe some funny history facts. Everything will help. Best regards. Sorry for all bad things I had done.

I received the AAAI membership form finally a couple of days back, filled it and sent it back. Has anyone got any response from the AAAI guys regarding membership?

I am late to the class, and now want to follow the videos. The only link is given to a youtube account and the videos there is a mess, no playlist, very hard to navigate...

Is there a playlist for all the videos of the class somewhere?
