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) …

We present a novel probabilistic model and specification language for spatial relations. Qualitative spatial logics such as RCC are used for representation and reasoning about physical entities. Our probabilistic RCC semantics enables a more expressive representation of spatial relations. We observe that reasoning in this new framework can be hard. We address this difficulty by using a factored representation based on Markov Random Fields.
