Question Artifical Intelligence Research Paper

I am conducting my Senior research on the Overview and Rationality of the Pursuit of Artificial Intelligence. I'm basically researching the publics past, present, and future views on the development of AI and show if they are in line with the true nature of this field of study. I would also like to work FIRST into my paper some how.

Would somebody please help me zero in on some potential material to conduct my research?

Re: Artifical Intelligence Research Paper

Are you allowed to use online resources? If so, a Google search might be in order. If not, find an online database (which stores print materials online), assuming you are allowed to. I did a research paper for my current English class and we were allowed to use databases accessible through the school library, but not other online sources.

We can use reputable websites and books, but no encyclopedias

Re: Artifical Intelligence Research Paper

Something interesting I found while researching are Artificial Neural Networks, they essentially look for patterns and use various algorithms to create something somewhat similar to an artificial brain that can learn using various methods. I'm a mechanical guy, so I don't fully comprehend everything, but it seems to be some kind of step towards the Artificial Intelligence we've seen in movies and such.

Re: Artifical Intelligence Research Paper

I actually do my doctoral research in Computational Intelligence, not quite the same as AI, but close. Actually, there a quite a few jokes about AI vs CI, but this probably isn't the best place to discuss them.

Some suggestions:

IEEE Xplore: ieeexplore.ieee.org

Look for the following authors:
Micheli-Tzanakou, E. (neural networks)
Kohonen, T. (self-organizing map)
Mendel, Jerry (fuzzy)
Pedrycz, W. (fuzzy)

Each of these also have books on the subject. Look into some online booksellers or your library to see if they have them.

I'm sure there are many more, but that's a pretty good start. Realize that AI/CI includes fuzzy systems, adaptive systems, and neural networks. There are many many authors writing in each of these segments.

If you want a specific FIRST application, FRC41 authored a conference paper after last season:

http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/SIEDS.2007.4373993

I hope that helps.


EDIT: Just a note, you will have to be at a College/University computer to get free access to IEEE papers. Barring that, I believe they can be purchased for a fee.

Re: Artifical Intelligence Research Paper

An encyclopedia is a great way to get an idea of the keywords to use in your search.

Also, I've said it before and I'll say it again, go to the library and talk to the reference librarian. That is one of the main purposes of their job. For this, a college library would be better.

Re: Artifical Intelligence Research Paper

You could look at how AI has transformed over the past 2-3 decades. The focus has shifted from developing general (i.e human like) intelligence to using statistical method to solve practical problems.
Keywords you may want to look into: machine learning, neural networks and probabilistic reasoning.

Take a look at some papers by Sebastian Thrun or Andrew Ng....

http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=...r=&btnG=Search

http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl...un&btnG=Search

Specifically you may want to read Andrew Ng's paper on robotic helicopters, and maybe the darpa challenge paper by Thrun.

A book I would suggest is "Artificial Intelligence : A modern approach"

As far as classifying the "true nature" of AI ... I think this is difficult to do, since there is really no exact definition for what "intelligence" really is. AI is currently viewed in CS as the ability to solve complex problems that generally require human "reasoning" ... the methodology used by the computer to do this is irrelevant... most of the time it is just a really good statistical/guided guess after looking at many possibilities.

Sounds good. Thanks everyone. I decided to analyze how Hollywood over the years has looked at AI and how this science has actually progressed. Not sure though how deep I want to go into the ethics involved in AI research. But thanks again, all your suggestions are greatly appreciated. I will post my final paper in a week or two.

I wouldn't go in at all. That's a paper in and of itself. It's also highly controversial, as few standards exist at this point in time.

Re: Artifical Intelligence Research Paper

Sounds like the paper has evolved a bit... if you are still looking for ways to tie FIRST into it... off the top of my head I was just thinking about the animations they do every year and how those little robots do autonomous mode (and how the animation is somewhat used to glamorize & explain the competition). There are other forms of AI in FIRST, but in relating it to holywood glitz and glamour thats what came to mind for me. Im just about to finish my masters in Robotic Intelligence, so I'd be happy to help if you have other questions.

But the Hollywood evolution of it sounds like an interesting topic... going all the way from the days of the guys dressed up in metal suits through R2D2, A Space Odyssey, and up to iRobot (probably the heaviest focus on AI of any movie I can think of). Dont forget Batteries not Included!! Wow thats going to be a fun paper!

Re: Artifical Intelligence Research Paper

If you are looking towards the philosophical aspects of AI
I would suggest watching the movie "BladeRunner"

Re: Artifical Intelligence Research Paper

you also might want to read on the topic of cyborg theory. Alot of the research topics are based on this subject matter from a non-technical perspective on the applications of cybernetics and AI.

you might want to read the paper by Klines and Clines on Cyborgs in Space as an interesting place to start.
