Which is the way to go forwards with AI?
At the present moment, AI researchers are studying new form and architecture to develop the future AI. Today the main approaches and form are symbolic (based on representations of problems, logic and search) Bayesian networks (probabilistic model) and deep learning. Most people are familiar with a deep learning application that… »
