Siri: Make Artificial Intelligence Your Slave
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic,” said Arthur C. Clarke. And that’s what Siri , a new virtual personal assistant that’s finally going live in the App Store after some sneak peeks last year, is going for. At the least it will be an excellent party trick. The Siri app (only recommended for the iPhone 3GS, as it’s rather intensive) connects your natural speech queries to web services APIs to complete complex planning tasks. It understands things like where you are, what accounts you have on various services and the context of the last question you asked. So you can do things like make a restaurant reservation (using OpenTable) …

TODAY: Innovation in Search and Art...Peter Norvig [Director of Research, Google] Abstract: Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence, and in Internet search, have been driven by the ability to build improved models from large amounts of data. This talk looks at the process of gathering and processing the data, building the models, and using them for new applications in language processing, computer vision, and other fields. Biography: Peter Norvig is a Fellow of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence and the Association for Computing Machinery. At Google Inc he was Director of Search Quality, responsible for the core web search algorithms from 2002-2005, and has been Director of Research from 2005 on. Previously he was the head of the Computational Sciences Division at NASA Ames Research Center, making him nasa's senior computer scientist. He received the NASA Exceptional Achievement Award in 2001. He has served as an assistant professor at the University of Southern California and a research faculty member at the University of California at Berkeley Computer Science Department, from which he received a Ph.D. in 1986 and the distinguished alumni award in 2006. He has over fifty publications in Computer Science, concentrating on Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing and Software Engineering.
Infinite Mario AI - Long Level...This is my attempt at a Mario AI using a path-finding algorithm called A*. The bot won both Mario AI competitions this year! You can see the path it plans to go as a red line, which updates when it detects new obstacles at the right screen border. It uses only information visible on screen. At the "close call" situation: In this version of Mario, when you're jumping while sliding on a wall, you jump backwards and upwards away from it. That's what the AI did twice to get out of the hole. This is possible in this version of Mario, which is a Freeware Java clone. See the links below for more info. The source code is now available on my homepage! More info: Competition: julian.togelius.com My Project Page: www.doc.ic.ac.uk A star: en.wikipedia.org Enjoy :) *Update*: My Mario AI won the ICE-GIC conference competition this year! Yay!
