- I am trying to get an idea about the accomplishments in AI.
- I am not interested in spin-offs rather I am interested in
- such things as:
-
- 1)Vision recognition - Recognition of faces, chairs and everyday objects.
-
- 2)Speech and Handwriting Recognition.
-
- 3)Natural Language Understanding.
-
- 4)Automated Programming and theorem proving.
-
- 5)Automated Diagnosis and Design.
-
- 6)Overall the best robot?
-
- 7)Learning.
-
- 8)Any other relevant AI topic I didn't mention.
-
- For each of these things I am interested in the most impressive
- program (or two) and in general comments about success in these areas.
- Please give a reference, especially for any outrageous claims.
- Keep it short but to the point. What if any is the most impressive
- industrial application?
-
- For example in automated theorem proving the most impressive achievement
- is the solving a some open problems using an automated theorem prover(ATP).
- However those problems were rather esoteric. In general, theorem provers
- do not work well. Theorem provers choke even on theorems that are
- simple for us. At the current time they have little practical value.
-
-
- Please send in your answer only if you are reasonbly certain of your
- claims. References will be greatly appreciated.
- You can email your responses to me and I will summarize.
-
- I look forward to your responses!
