The AI Report - Forbes.com
by parmentierfCan machines think? In 1950, Alan Turing, considered by some to be the father of modern computing, published a paper in which he proposed that, "If, during text-based conversation, a machine is indistinguishable from a human, then it could be said to be 'thinking' and, therefore, could be attributed with intelligence." He predicted that a computer would pass this "Turing Test" by the end of the century. That hasn't happened--yet. But the question continues to provoke and inspire. AI might be just around the corner, or it might be centuries away.

Heaton Research
by parmentierfWelcome to Heaton Research, Inc. We are a technical book publishing company specializing in topics such as neural networks, bots, and computer hardware. All of our books have between 50-75% of their content posted online here. Additionally we also offer numerous articles on many of the same topics as our books.
Sutton & Barto Book: Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction
by parmentierfThis introductory textbook on reinforcement learning is targeted toward engineers and scientists in artificial intelligence, operations research, neural networks, and control systems, and we hope it will also be of interest to psychologists and neuroscientists.
Game/AI: Fixing Pathfinding Once and For All
by parmentierfI need to talk about some problems we face with pathfinding. In order to prove that these problems still exist, I felt the need to make this video ... which will hopefully be taken in the humorous and lighthearted spirit in which it was intended

Wired News: AI Reaches the Golden Years
by parmentierf (via)Artificial intelligence is 50 years old this summer, and while computers can beat the world's best chess players, we still can't get them to think like a 4-year-old.
This week in Boston, some of the field's leading practitioners are gathering to examine this most ambitious of computer research fields, which at once has managed to exceed, and fall short of, our grandest expectations.
Chatterbots, Tinymuds, and the Turing Test
by parmentierf (via)This paper describes the development of one such Turing System, including the technical design of the program and its performance on the first three Loebner Prize competitions. We also discuss the program's four year development effort, which has depended heavily on constant interaction with people on the Internet via Tinymuds (multiuser network communication servers that are a cross between role-playing games and computer forums like CompuServe).
Finally, we discuss the design of the Loebner competition itself, and address its usefulness in furthering the development of Artificial Intelligence.
