Online tutorial slides of the best known textbook

AI: An modern approache. Everyone studying AI must know and read this book. This URL http://aima.eecs.berkeley.edu/slides-pdf/ is the official page providing slides which, I think, is helpful for review and summary.

Enjoy it!

AI's thinker

What is OpenAI

The OpenAI Project takes an open source approach to creating tools for Artificial Intelligence development. The project's primary goal is to create configuration and communication standards for AI tools. Ultimately, we will produce a set of tools implementing these standards to enable the full potential of Artificial Intelligence to be expressed. We hope to be known as the OpenGL of Artificial Intelligence.

Collective Intelligence

There are many information-processing problems that can only be solved by the joint action of large communities of computers each running a sophisticated machine learning algorithm, where those algorithms are not subject to cen-tralized, global control. Examples are routing of air traffic, control of swarms of spacecraft, routing of packages across the internet, and communication between the multiple processors in a modern computer.

Such problems can be addressed with the emerging science of “Collective Intelligence” (COIN), which is concerned with the design of a multi-agent system where:

- Agents are “selfish” in that they act to try to optimize their own utilities, without explicit regard to cooperation with other agents.

- There is a well-specified global objective, and we are confronted with the inverse problem of how to configure the system to achieve that objective.

AI & Education

"If we understand the human mind, we begin to understand what we can do with educational technology."

- Herbert A. Simon

AI & Decision Theory

Despite their different perspectives, artificial intelligence (AI) and the discipline of decision science have common root and strive for similar goals, such that they all want to discover something from unknown world and produce corresponding accurate response ...

AI & Philosophy

Artificial Intelligence cannot avoid philosophy. If a computer program is to behave intelligently in the real world, it must be provided with some kind of framework into which to fit particular facts it is told or discovers. This amounts to at least a fragment of some kind of philosophy, however naive.
- John McCarthy

Why we need AI?

We like to be called intelligent beings, and we are pround of our human being's intelligence. However, in fact, it is just this so-called different feature from animals drove our ancestors to eat the fruits inhibited by the God, then we began our history full of bitter memory.

Forget it for the time being. Here, we just take a small space and a short moment to enjoy our man-made intelligent world, in which we can feel something interesting. It seems that we will still walk on this non-return road untill one day our God comes again. So, we have the right, assigned by ourselves, to know more about ourself, not only its history, its currency, but, more meaningful, its feature. Our mundane purpose is just to set up more comfortable living condition; maybe, if we are lucky enough, we will find our weakness and become more modest. Hope so, really.

Anyway, we can start now, and welcome your participation!
