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.

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,...

Computer Registers

Computer registers are very fast computer memory type, used to store data/instruction. A computer Register is a group of flip-flops with each flip-flop capable of storing one bit of information. An n-bit register has a group of n flip-flops and is capable of storing binary information of n-bits . A register consists of a group of flip-flops and gates. The flip-flops hold the binary information and gates control when and how new information is transferred into a register. Various types of registers are available commercially. The simplest register is one that consists of only flip-flops with no external gates. Following are some commonly used registers: Accumulator : This is the most common register, used to store data taken out from the memory. General Purpose Registers : This is used to store data intermediate results during program execution. It can be accessed via assembly programming. Special Purpose Registers : ...

Characteristics Of Computers System || You Should Know

The characteristics of computers that have made them so powerful and universally useful are speed, accuracy, diligence, versatility, and storage capacity. Let us discuss them briefly. Speed: - As you know the computer can work very fast. It takes only a few seconds for calculations that we take hours to complete. You will be surprised to know that a computer can perform millions (1,000,000) of instructions and even more per second. Therefore, we determine the speed of the computer in terms of a microsecond (10-6 part of a second) or nanosecond (10 to the power -9 part of a second). From this, you can imagine how fast your computer performs work. Diligence: A computer is free from tiredness, lack of concentration, fatigue, etc. It can work for hours without creating any errors. If millions of calculations are to be performed, a computer will perform every calculation with the same accuracy. Due to this capability, it overpowers ...
