What is Fuzzy Set ?

• The word “fuzzy” means “vagueness”. Fuzziness occurs when the boundary of a piece of information is not clear-cut. • Fuzzy sets have been introduced by Lotfi A. Zadeh (1965) as an extension of the classical notion of set. • Classical set theory allows the membership of the elements in the set in binary terms, … Read more

Early work in Artificial Intelligence

“Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the part of computer science concerned with designing intelligent computer systems, that is, systems that exhibit characteristics we associate with intelligence in human behaviour – understanding language, learning, reasoning, solving problems, and so on.” Scientific Goal To determine which ideas about knowledge representation, learning, rule systems, search, and so on, explain … Read more

Artificial Intelligence and related fields

Logical AI-  What a program knows about the world in general the facts of the specific situation in which it must act, and its goals are all represented by sentences of some mathematical logical language. The program decides what to do by inferring that certain actions are appropriate for achieving its goals.  Search – AI programs … Read more

Importance of AI(artificial intelligence)

Game Playing- You can buy machines that can play master level chess for a few hundred dollars. There is some AI in them, but they play well against people mainly through brute force computation–looking at hundreds of thousands of positions. To beat a world champion by brute force and known reliable heuristics requires being able … Read more

What is AI(Artificial Intelligence) ?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of Science which deals with helping machines find solutions to complex problems in a more human-like fashion. This generally involves borrowing characteristics from human intelligence, and applying them as algorithms in a computer friendly way. A more or less flexible or efficient approach can be taken depending on the … Read more

Better hearing through artificial intelligence

Hearing loss happens to many of us. The US National Institutes of Health, for example, estimates that one in eight Americans aged 12 years and older has hearing loss in both ears. Twenty-five per cent of adults aged between 65 and 75, and half of those aged 75 and older, experience disabling hearing loss. According … Read more

AI system better assesses bridge structural health with existing sensors

A new system to assess the structural health of bridges using AI and an array of sensors is being developed by a team at the University of Texas at Arlington. Modern bridges are typically built with weight-in-motion systems including sensors that measure vibrations, strain and deflection. By measuring the bridge’s response to these elements, they … Read more

Artificial skin developed that feels pain

A team at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia developed the prototype which they say can electronically replicate the way human skin senses pain. The device mimics the body’s near-instant feedback response and can react to painful sensations with the same lighting speed that nerve signals travel to the brain. Lead researcher Professor Madhu Bhaskaran said … Read more
