Automatic Classification – Tagging and Summarization – Customizable Filtering and Analysis

If you are looking for an answer to the question What is Artificial Intelligence? and you only have a minute, then here's the definition the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence offers on its home page: "the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behavior and their embodiment in machines."

However, if you are fortunate enough to have more than a minute, then please get ready to embark upon an exciting journey exploring AI (but beware, it could last a lifetime) …

Estimating Quantitative Magnitudes Using Semantic Similarity

Davies, Jim (Carleton University) | Gagne, Jonathan (University of Waterloo)

AAAI ConferencesJul-8-2010

We present an AI called Visuo that guesses quantitative visuospatial magnitudes (e.g., heights, lengths) given adjective-noun pairs as input (e.g., “big hat”). It uses a database of tagged images as memory and infers unexperienced magnitudes by analogy with semantically-related concepts in memory. We show that transferring width-height ratios from a semantically-related concept yields significantly lower error rates than using dissimilar concepts when predicting the width-height ratios of novel inputs.
