Descripción:Google Tech Talks February, 22 2008 ABSTRACT By using parameterization methods which model the knowledge space of a social or cognitive process, it is possible to use artificial intelligence techniques such as Neural Networks and Genetic Programming to create new types of visualization, creation, search and expression for a range of digital media. Steve DiPaola will discuss and demonstrate his research in cognitive 3D and 2D graphics, AI and simulation work, including real-time voice- and behavior-based 3D facial communication, simulated critters (an interacting group of whales) and creative exploration over optimized search as well as cognitively-based computational photography and music. (See ivizlab.sfu.ca). Speaker: Steve DiPaola Artist and scientist Steve DiPaola is a professor at Simon Frazier University. He directs iVizLab, which strives to make interactive and simulation systems bend more to the human experience by incorporating biological and cognitive models.

Descripción:Google Tech Talks November, 8 2007 ABSTRACT This presentation is about a potential shortcut to artificial intelligence by trading mind-design for world-design using artificial evolution. Evolutionary algorithms are a pump for turning CPU cycles into brain designs. With exponentially increasing CPU cycles while our understanding of intelligence is almost a flat-line, the evolutionary route to AI is a centerpiece of most Kurzweilian singularity scenarios. This talk introduces the Polyworld artificial life simulator as well as results from our ongoing attempt to evolve artificial intelligence and further the Singularity. Polyworld is the brain child of Apple Computer Distinguished Scientist Larry Yaeger, who remains the primary developer of Polyworld: http://www.beanblossom.in.us/larryy/Polyworld.html Speaker: Virgil Griffith Virgil Griffith is a first year graduate student in Computation and Neural Systems at the California Institute of Technology. On weekdays he studies evolution, computational neuroscience, and artificial life. He did computer security work until his first year of university when his work got him sued for sedition and espionage. He then decided that security was probably not safest field to be in and he turned his life to science.

The judgment is delivered by Mother Earth. Man is called to account for his actions, use of the natural resources and his relationship with the lives of all beings within her sacred space. For fifty centuries Mother Earth has allowed humanity to find its way through the fourth world and of the darkest time of materialism and domination of subordinate species. To enter the Fifth World of co-creation integrity, balance and love are required to harmonize with the resonant field of Mother Earth's creative realm. All is changing as the Truth and Light are one evident, exciting and a unmistakable reflection of the spirit of each soul expressing into the universe. pleiadian pineal yoga phi 2012 sacred geometry wayshower indigo galactic quantum lightworker 2012

Descripción:Google Tech Talks November 11, 2008 ABSTRACT Berners-Lee's vision of the Semantic Web is hindered by a chicken-and-egg problem, which can be best solved by a bootstrapping method: creating enough structured data to motivate the development of applications. We believe that autonomously `Semantifying Wikipedia' is the best way to bootstrap. We choose Wikipedia as an initial data source, because it is comprehensive, high-quality, modestly sized, and contains enough manually-derived structure to bootstrap an autonomous, self-supervised process. In this talk I will present our success to date in this endeavor: A novel approach for self-supervised learning of CRF information extractors Automatic construction of a comprehensive ontology via statistical-relational learning Vast improvements in extraction recall through shrinkage over this ontology and retraining The stimulation of a virtuous feedback cycle between communal content creation and information extraction We aim to construct a knowledge base of outstanding size to support inference, automatic question answering, faceted browsing, and potentially to bootstrap the Semantic Web. Speaker: Daniel S. Weld Daniel S. Weld is Thomas J. Cable / WRF Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. After formative education at Phillips Academy, he received bachelor's degrees in both Computer Science and Biochemistry at Yale University in 1982.

Descripción:I made this presentation for a client. It is twenty-seven minutes long, and is unlike any of the other videos I have posted prior to this date; it will hold little interest for most people. The video posted as a response shows how to download a higher-quality version. Somewhere after minute 16, the narration gets scratchy for a few seconds. I hope to fix that, but since I haven't already, it probably won't be fixed.

Descripción:Google Tech Talks May 30, 2007 ABSTRACT Dr. Ben Goertzel - Artificial General Intelligence: Now Is the Time Essay: www.kurzweilai.net/articles/art0701.html Abstract: When the AI field was founded over 50 years ago, it was squarely focused on the grand dream of creating software displaying general intelligence at the human level or beyond. Since that time the field has drifted in a direction Ray Kurzweil has called "Narrow AI": the creation of intelligent software applications carrying out highly particular functions. The relationship between this sort of narrow AI and "artificial general intelligence" (AGI) as in the original dreams of the AI field, is an issue of dispute among experts. Some...

Descripción:First Sarah Palin supports the teaching of religion in public schools (creationism) which John McCain is NOT opposed to. Then she can't name a single newspaper she's ever read. And now she comes out against fruit fly research. Fruit flies are invaluable for all modern research on human diseases. Guess she doesn't want to cure Autism, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Alzheimer's, Cancer... Oh and let's not forget the hockey mom with a $150,000 wardrobe and Joe the plumber who's a total fraud. The entire McCain campaign is built on lies and fear. They are pro-Jesus and anti-Science, but yet they go to the doctor when they are sick instead of staying home and praying. Why, because they know better and use these simple lies to sway the ignorant masses. Music: Mozart's Requiem
