Dear students, we can use this thread to share some interesting, useful links regarding AI. Let's start with 20Q, from wikipedia: "20Q is a computerized game of twenty questions that began as an experiment in artificial intelligence (AI). It was invented by Robin Burgener. The game 20Q is based on the spoken parlor game known as twenty questions, and is both a website[2] and a handheld device. 20Q asks the player to think of something and will then try to guess what they are thinking of with twenty yes-or-no questions. If it fails to guess in 20 questions, it will ask an additional 5 questions. If it fails to guess even with 25 questions, the player is declared the winner. Sometimes the first guess of the object can be asked at question 14." Check it out here: www.20q.net/Cheers, Angelo

If you are interested in knowing more about how IBM built Watson, the computer that defeated two human champions at Jeopardy, here is a good article: Building Watson:An Overview of theDeepQA Project, AI Magazine, Association for the Advancement of Artifcial Intelligence (AAAI), Fall 2010.If you find other interesting resources for understanding Watson or other fascinating systems, feel free to post them here.

Today I mentioned the work of Deb Roy at the MIT Media Lab, with regards to building "baby" systems that learn behavior. Here is his group's homepage: Cognitive Machines Group at MIT Media LabAnother group at the Media Lab is looking to build learning robots, and that's the group lead by Cynthia Breazeal: Personal Robots Group at MIT Media LabBoth groups are lead by former MIT students, so in some ways they both build on MIT AI legacy (Marvin Minsky and Rod Brooks in particular).

An expert system is software that uses a knowledge base of human expertise for problem solving, or clarify uncertainties where normally one or more human experts would need to be consulted. Expert systems are most common in a specific problem domain, and are a traditional application and/or subfield of artificial intelligence (AI). I've found this interesting link regarding web-based interactive medical decision support expert system called EasyDiagnosis, check it out: easydiagnosis.com/

This is an interesting Machine Learning application/game online, check it out: en.akinator.com/Basically it uses a decision tree for identifying an individual you are thinking of (a famous character).
