Artificial Neural Networks
So i’m taking this class called “Intelligent Security Systems” taught by Professor Leon Reznik
I’ve been following the development of neural networks and artificial intelligence as a whole for about 5 years now and I must say, this field is wide open. If you feel like you’re an innovative person and into computer science, I would highly suggest getting involved in Artificial Intelligence. There are a lot of open problems with AI currently. One of which is the classic Turing Test, which put simply is a test in which humans try to identify which “screen name” that is talking to them is human and which is AI. So far, EVERY implementation has failed to pass the human test without cheating. Dr. Stephen Thaler has made possibly the most intriguing discoveries with his Creativity Machine (patent 5,659,666). This Creativity Machine is just that; An application which can generate insightful ideas based on miscellaneous input.In 1992, Thaler shocked the world with bizarre experiments in which the neurons within artificial neural networks were randomly destroyed. Guess what? The nets first relived all of their experiences (i.e., life review) and then, within advanced stages of destruction, generated novel experience. With this very compelling model of near-death experience (NDE) hopes for a supernatural or mystical explanation of this much celebrated phenomena were forever dashed.
