Study Notes

Artificial Intelligence Languages

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a technology used to create computer programs mimicking human intelligence.
Numerous programming languages exist, each with strengths suitable for different tasks.

Python

Python is a top AI programming language, versatile for various tasks (front-end and back-end).
Easy to learn with clear syntax and simple English keywords.
Highly readable and suitable for both beginners and experienced developers.
Developed in the early 1990s, it's popular for AI solutions due to numerous career opportunities.
Widely used for various AI tasks including deep learning, machine learning, and AI.
Python is also platform-independent, working on multiple systems like Linux, Windows, macOS, and Unix.

Java

Java is a widely used AI programming language excelling in 2022.
It's platform-independent, using a virtual machine to run applications only once.
Known for its ease of debugging and its speed.
Supports various AI applications.

Prolog

Prolog is a logical, declarative AI programming language developed in 1972.
Used in natural language processing (IBM Watson uses Prolog).
A programming language where the developer defines the rules, facts, and goals for AI tasks.

R

R is an open-source programming language for statistical computing, ideal for analyzing large datasets.
Free of cost and offers strong graphics capabilities for visualizing and understanding AI data analysis outcomes.
Highly used for machine learning and AI applications due to high performance capabilities.

C++

C++ is a highly reliable, object-oriented programming language used in AI development.
Known for its speed and efficiency, making it suitable for complex machine learning models.
Highly favored for AI tasks due to its dynamic loading, adaptive caching, and memory management capabilities.
C++ can be used in statistical techniques and ML algorithms.

LISP

LISP is an older, specialized AI programming language.
It's commonly used for machine learning and inductive logic problems.
Program development in LISP is dynamic because it can quickly modify code.

Julia

Julia is a newer MIT-designed language well-suited for handling large datasets.
It is a highly-performant, scientific programming language for Al programming.
It is especially good for numerical analysis and computational science.

Haskell

Haskell is a modern, purely functional, AI programming language.
Has advanced features (type classes) for ensuring type safety in AI applications.
Known for its flexibility and effective error handling. This makes it one of the safer languages for Al programming.

Types of AI (Based on Capabilities)

Weak/Narrow AI: AI focused on a specific task.
General AI: AI capable of learning like humans and performing any intellectual task.
Super AI: AI that surpasses human intelligence

Types of AI (Based on Functionality)

Reactive machines: AI purely reacting to current scenarios without memory.
Limited memory: AI with a short-term memory of past experiences.
Theory of mind: AI that understands and interacts with human emotions and beliefs.
Self-awareness: AI that has self-awareness, consciousness, and sentiments.

Types of Al Applications

Text Al: Processing and manipulating text data (speech-to-text, machine translation).
Visual Al: Processing visual data (image recognition, computer vision).
Functional Al: Taking action based on data analysis (improving machinery or speeding processes).
Analytic Al: Providing insights and recommendations based on data analysis (machine learning).

Knowledge Representation in Al

Declarative Knowledge: Representing facts and objects, expressed as statements or sentences.
Procedural Knowledge: Representing how-to actions, strategies, rules, and agendas.
Meta-knowledge: Knowledge about other types of knowledge
Heuristic Knowledge: Using principles and rules based on expert experiences and historical data to approach a problem.
Structured Knowledge: Representing relationships between concepts, e.g., kind-of relation.

Knowledge-Based Agents

Knowledge is essential for decision making and actions by Al-powered agents.
Agents use knowledge bases and inference systems to access, update, and draw conclusions from data.
Knowledge representation includes techniques allowing machines to use knowledge, e.g. semantic networks, frames, and propositional logic.
