演讲题目:Age of AI: Artificial Intelligence, Agglomerative Intelligence, Ambient Intelligence, and Adaptive Intelligence

摘要:The building of a computer that can intelligently carry out tasks that require “human level intelligence” has been a goal for computer scientist since the 1950’s. Since that  time, tasks that were considered to exhibit human level intelligence such as understanding natural language, carry out conversational speech, playing master level chess, and interpreting and understanding images have all seen a great deal of improvements and many have seen real world applications. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the progress of artificial intelligence and highlight some recent milestone results in image recognition, natural language understanding, and predict the progress of AI in research and application over the next 5-10 years.
