No Sew Fleece Scarf Tie

human consciousness and artificial intelligence

To break the long period of time without leaving anything written in these parts, and waiting, among other things, higher levels of inspiration, following are some articles and annotations I have called attention pleasantly recent weeks: Self Organizing Maps (for T. Germano, description of the application of artificial neural networks to display clasificacióny information.) Fuzzy Logic - Fuzzy Logic

(by Hector Garcia Kirai.Net

). A Prolog Introduction for Hackers (comment on Through the blogging-glass at

Prolog tutorial published in

kuro5hin.org ). How does a search engine? [ 1], [2 ], [3

] and [4

] (by Hector Garcia Kirai.Net ). timetabling problem (practical implementation of certain aspects of graph theory, A. Arranz Cuesta Ordonez and E. Guzman, Programming in Castilian ). Multi-Backpropagation Network: Concept and Modeling (Backpropagation network is one of the Well Known NN model. However, large network is too complex and Takes a long time to train in Generation5 ...";

George Boole (on Boolean logic

  • ).
  • As can be seen, a special place of mention in this short list, it certainly takes Hector Garcia, and at this point it seems pertinent to comment that it is very commendable so that has to address the issues that is usually on his blog ( Kirai.Net ), apart from those of character and interest maso less strictly personal and private, to know: fundamentals of computing, artificial intelligence and its applications, programming in general ... It'll note his remarkable effort to make accessible and understandable, for "ordinary mortals, such matters. In another of his notes, "
  • The Turing Test and Intelligent Computer
  • " addresses a topic which has traditionally raised, and should continue rising, much controversy and diverse opinions: basically, that which concerns how to define what might be called as true artificial intelligence , what are the defining characteristics, and an autonomous system, to see who is endowed with the properties and functions inherent to human intelligence (if it ever reached to know and understand all of these properties and functions, from a joint perspective) is those that express the nature and operation of cognitive processes, reasoning and learning that occur in the minds of human beings. In comments to this entry , we can read interesting opinions, and at this point I would make a reflection made by the English writer and critic David Lodge [1 ] [

  • ] in the context of an interview published in the edition of the newspaper supplement Babelia The Country of May 1 ("In Defense of fiction, "basically deals with the importance of gender in the novel, fiction, as an instrument of representation of human consciousness, which varies according to different periods over time). Question the interviewer (Lourdes Gomez): "Do you think that consciousness is the software of the human mind?" and Lodge replied: "In the literary sense is good metaphor to describe consciousness. Another question is whether the human mind works like a computer. I think the computer is a type of brain rather limited. There are similarities in performance, but also important differences. Mainly in the connectivity of the human mind and the execution of simultaneous tasks. A computer can never replicate these characteristics despite what the experts assure us in artificial intelligence. Computers are much faster than the human brain, but I do not think intuitively be able to remove irrelevant elements of a function. We win at chess, but never in the decision-making requires an intuitive ability. " aside a reflection of both the Lodge, which in any case no longer an opinion, backed by the knowledge that if laid up in two years of study devoted to cognitive science, artificial intelligence and the phenomenon of consciousness, with an eye toward preparing your secret thoughts novel (Anagrama
  • , 2002, ISBN: 84-339-69893-8) the author explains in the interview, and without wishing to enter into great depth in regard to this issue, it is clear that hardly may transfer the characteristics of human intelligence and their cognitive processes to autonomous artificial system, thereby creating artificial intelligence, if not clearly understand the full functioning of these processes, and it seems Unless the scientific disciplines that deal with these matters (in respect to physical and chemical processes, such as those on the transfer and information processing) are quite far from reaching an optimal state of knowledge and "global" about the apparent complexities over which it was initially thought to approach its study of the human mind.
