What's Artificial Intelligence || From Basic To Advance


           
               

                                Introduction to artificial intelligence

The science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. – John Mc Carthy (AI name was coined by him at 1956).
Artificial intelligence is an approach to make a computer, a robot, or a product to think how smart human think. AI is study of how human brain think, learn decide and work. And finally this study outputs intelligent software systems. The aim of AI to improve computer functions which are related to human knowledge, for e.g. reasoning, learning and problem solving.

Turing test for artificial intelligence
The Turing test was developed by Allan Turing (computer scientist) in 1950. Turing test is used to determine whether or not computer machine can think intelligently like human? Imagine a game of three players having two humans and one computer, an interrogator (as human) is isolated from other two players. The interrogator job is to try and figure out which one is human by asking questions from both of them. The interrogator is limited to using the responses to written questions to make the determination.
If interrogator wouldn’t be able to distinguish the answers provided by both human and computer then the computer passes the test and machine (computer) is consider as intelligent as human.

Variations and alternatives to the turing test

Reverse turing test: Where a human tries to convince a computer that it is not a computer. An e.g. of this is CAPTCHA.

Total turing test: Where the questioner can also test perceptual abilities as well as the ability to manipulate objects.

Minimum intelligence test: Where only true false and yes no questions are given.

    Alternatives to turing test were later developed because many see the turing test to be flawed. These alternatives include test such as :

    1.    The marcus test: In this a program which can watch a television show is tested by being asked meaningful questions about the shows content.

    2.    The lovelace test 2.0: Which is a test made to detect AI through examining its ability to create art.

    3.    Winogard schema challenge: Which is a test that asks multiple choice questions in a specific        format.


    A computer program called Eugene Goostman, which simulate a 13 year old Ukarianian boy, is said to have passed the turing test at an event organized by the university of reading.

Block Diagram of Computer|| Basic Explanation

A typical computer system irrespective of its size, class or type consists of hardware and software, integrated and synchronized together to perform computational work or data processing. Computer anatomy is concerned with the way the various functional units operate and how they connected together to form the computer system. A computer system consists of the following functional units : 1)  Input unit 2) Memory/Storage unit 3) CPU(central processing unit) 4) Output unit

Types Of Computer System || Analog Hybrid and Digital Computer System

Types of computer There are various methods on which computers can be classified. The classification may depend upon the size, technology, area, of application, type of data processed, etc. Generally, computers are divided into three main parts, These three are followings: Analog computers Hybrid computers Digital computers Analog computers An  analog computer  or  analogous computer  is a form of  computer  that uses the continuously changeable aspects of physical phenomena such as  electrical ,  mechanical , or  hydraulic  quantities to  model  the problem being solved.  Analog computers are computers that work on continuous data. Analog computers are used to measure physical quantities like pressure, temperature, speed, etc. Analog computers were widely used in scientific and industrial applications where digital computers of the time lacked sufficient performance. Analog computers c...

Components of Computer System

A system is defined as a set of interacting elements, responding to inputs so as to produce outputs. The computer system also consists of the following elements or components. Software Hardware Firmware Humanware   Software All the intangible components of the computer system are known as software In other words, we can say that all computer programs and applications run behind the monitor screen, are known as software. Computer software is a term that describes computer programs. Example   Microsoft-windows (all operating system software) and notepad, MS office suite, window media player(application software). Software is further divided into two parts these are following 1) system software 2) application software Hardware All tangible component of a computer system is known as hardware. In other words, computer hardware is the collection of physical parts of the computer system. Example  CPU(Microprocessor), monitor, keyboard,...
