Artificial Intelligence Application Contributions
Although artificial intelligence is a major research field, there are so many artificial intelligence applications already. It is true that field of artificial intelligence has not achieved its ultimate objectives so far, but whatever the progress achieved up-to-date has been contributing to enhance the lives of humankind. Let's have a look at a few artificial intelligence applications.
Game playing is one of the areas where artificial intelligence application has made a real difference. Do you remember the games of good old days where you know where exactly the monster appears with a gun? This event does not change regardless of how many times you play the game. Therefore, the game play becomes boring after playing it a couple of times. To avoid this, artificial intelligence application has been the answer. Now, the game changes its strategy time to time based of the circumstance, so the player will have to do the same. This makes game playing interesting than ever.
Speech recognition is generally leading in artificial intelligence applications. By mid of 1990, speech recognition programs have been developed for limited use in many industries including Microsoft word processing programs. The scientists are hoping to improve the area of speech recognition more and make is globally available for almost all the field and replace the keyboard input methods.
Although natural language processing is somewhat similar to speech recognition, there is a fundamental difference in the core. When it comes to speech recognition, it interprets the words to text or executes some predefined command based on what is being said. But in natural language processing, the computer needs to 'understand' and relate the words to what the system 'knows' and respond accordingly. Scientists are hopeful of rapid developments of artificial intelligence application in this area.
Computer and three dimensional vision are something that the artificial intelligence research has been investing into. When it comes to artificial intelligence application, there are a few important use of computer and three dimensional vision. Do you remember 'Pathfinder' vehicle which extracted information of surface of Mars? This vehicle was partially controlled from the Earth, through vehicles cameras. If the vehicle had computer and three dimensional vision, then the vehicle would have travelled by its own by understanding what it sees in a three dimensional paradigm.
Expert systems have been one of the oldest artificial intelligence applications. These systems contain certain degree of 'knowledge' of some domain, so the decision makers can make the use of the 'judgment' of these systems.
