章节摘录

　　There were some scientists that questioned the capability ofdigital computers. Citing that the architecture of digital computerswould be a terrible approach to emulating human intelligence， theystrove to create artificial neurons. This was based on thearchitecture of our own biological brains. The idea of course， failedfor the mean time， since very little was known about the subject.The digital computer proved to be the only sufficient medium tccarry out artificial intelligence （AI）.　　There then came another question. People doubted whether ornot symbolic AI programs， which encompassed just about everyprogram in the 1950s， could exhibit true telligence. Someexamples of Symbolic AI programs are chess-playing programs，expert systems such as theorem provers， ELIZA， STUDENT etc.Just like any task-entered programs AI program is a symbolic AIprogram. These programs operate by manipulating symbols. Thecritics claimed that the architecture of these programs were notsufficient enough for intelligence. In essence， they have no"common sense" and can rarely perform tasks other than the tasksthat were assigned to them. One of the early natural languageprograms could translate Russian to English， and vice versa. Whenit converted the English phrase "The Spirit is willing but the flesh isweak" to Russian， then back to English， it came up with "Thevodka is good but the meat is rotten". Of course， the machinetranslation technology that we have today has certainly improved，but many "common sense" mistakes like this are common. You mayactually want to try this with the SYSTRAN translator. Thesecritics of Symbolic AI systems were the onnectionists. They in turncreated the neural network architecture. Neural networks are ableto draw links between meanings and thus exhibit some form of"common sense" in some situations.
