Approaches to AI
C S E 4 8 1 : A RT I F I C I A L I N T E L L I G E N C E
Two main approaches:
Symbolic AI (also called Classical AI, Traditional AI, Hard AI)
Explores the possibility that human intelligence could be reduced to symbol manipulation
Computational AI (also called Soft AI)
Combines elements of neural nets, adaptation, evolution and Fuzzy logic to create programs that are, in some sense, intelligent
12
AI Applications
Typical problems to which AI methods are applied: Pattern recognition
C S E 4 8 1 : A RT I F I C I A L I N T E L L I G E N C E
Optical character recognition Handwriting recognition Speech recognition Face recognition
Natural language processing Computer vision, virtual reality and image processing Medical diagnosis Game theory and strategic planning Non-linear control and robotics
