Apple event: Latest major launch planned to happen soon โ€“ but not for new iPhones or other products

The Independent - Tech

Apple is preparing for its next big launch event, according to a new report โ€“ but there might not be new products. The company is rumoured to be working on a whole host of new updates: an improved iPad Mini, a second version of the AirPods, as well as new Macs. That had many to hope that the company would hold one of its regular March events, and start selling many of those long-expected products. Apple will be holding one of those March events at its campus in California on 25 March, according to a new report from BuzzFeed. But those products won't be the central focus, according to the same report. Instead, the event will be headlined by Apple's news subscription service, which has been the subject of intense discussions between media organisations and the company.


Rule-Based Expert Systems: The MYCIN Experiments of the Stanford Heuristic Programming Project

AI Classics

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is largely an experimental scienceโ€”at least as much progress has been made by building and analyzing programs as by examining theoretical questions. MYCIN is one of several well-known programs that embody some intelligence and provide data on the extent to which intelligent behavior can be programmed. As with other AI programs, its development was slow and not always in a forward direction. But we feel we learned some useful lessons in the course of nearly a decade of work on MYCIN and related programs. In this book we share the results of many experiments performed in that time, and we try to paint a coherent picture of the work. The book is intended to be a critical analysis of several pieces of related research, performed by a large number of scientists. We believe that the whole field of AI will benefit from such attempts to take a detailed retrospective look at experiments, for in this way the scientific foundations of the field will gradually be defined. It is for all these reasons that we have prepared this analysis of the MYCIN experiments.
