AI

By SOHUHUH

  • Neural networks were proposed by Warren McCullough and Walter Pitts

  • Alan Turing gives a talk about machine learning

    He gives a talk at London Mathematical Society.

  • Invention of the Turing test

    The Turing Test, in which the judge is tasked with trying to determine which player is a computer and which is a human. If the judge cannot consistently tell which is which, then the computer wins the game. This test was used to avoid the question, ‘Can a machine think?’ and instead ask the question, ‘Can a machine act indistinguishable to a human?’

    Birth of AI

  • First set of neural networks

    The first trainable neural network, the Perceptron, was demonstrated by the Cornell University psychologist Frank Rosenblatt. The Perceptron’s design was much like that of the modern neural net, except that it had only one layer with adjustable weights and thresholds, sandwiched between input and output layers.

  • Regression Decision Trees were invented

    Decision trees is a machine learning flowchart-like tree structure where it splits results based on features and at the end classifies the m or gives a number.

  • A knowledge-based chess-playing program got class-C rating

    Richard Greenblatt (programmer) at MIT built MacHack.

  • First International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI)

    It was held at Stanford

  • BKG, a backgammon program written by Hans Berliner at CMU, defeats the reigning world champion (with a bit of luck)

  • TD-Gammon was powerful enough to play championship-level game-playing.

    TD-Gammon, a backgammon program written by Gerry Tesauro, demonstrates that reinforcement (learning) is powerful enough to create a championship-level game-playing program by competing favorably with world-class players.

  • Checkers world champion, Tinsley, resigned a match against computer program Chinook

    It also defeated 2nd highest rated player, Lafferty. Chinook won the USA National Tournament by the widest margin ever.

  • A semi-autonomous car drove coast-to-coast across the United States with computer-controlled steering.

  • The Deep Blue machine defeats the world chess champion, Garry Kasparov.

  • Google builds autonomous car

  • Apple's Siri use natural language to answer questions, make recommendations and perform actions.

  • Google DeepMind's AlphaGo defeated Lee Sedol 4–1

    Lee Sedol is a 9 dan professional Korean Go champion who won 27 major tournaments from 2002 to 2016.
