Deep feedforward neural networks Artificial intelligence

deep learning in artificial neural networks many layers has transformed many important subfields of artificial intelligence, including computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing , others. according survey, expression deep learning introduced machine learning community rina dechter in 1986 , gained traction after igor aizenberg , colleagues introduced artificial neural networks in 2000. first functional deep learning networks published alexey grigorevich ivakhnenko , v. g. lapa in 1965. these networks trained 1 layer @ time. ivakhnenko s 1971 paper describes learning of deep feedforward multilayer perceptron 8 layers, deeper many later networks. in 2006, publication geoffrey hinton , ruslan salakhutdinov introduced way of pre-training many-layered feedforward neural networks (fnns) 1 layer @ time, treating each layer in turn unsupervised restricted boltzmann machine, using supervised backpropagation fine-tuning. similar shallow artificial neural networks, deep ne...

Search and optimization Artificial intelligence

many problems in ai can solved in theory intelligently searching through many possible solutions: reasoning can reduced performing search. example, logical proof can viewed searching path leads premises conclusions, each step application of inference rule. planning algorithms search through trees of goals , subgoals, attempting find path target goal, process called means-ends analysis. robotics algorithms moving limbs , grasping objects use local searches in configuration space. many learning algorithms use search algorithms based on optimization. simple exhaustive searches sufficient real world problems: search space (the number of places search) grows astronomical numbers. result search slow or never completes. solution, many problems, use heuristics or rules of thumb eliminate choices unlikely lead goal (called pruning search tree ). heuristics supply program best guess path on solution lies. heuristics limit search solutions smaller sample size. a different kind of search ca...
