So What
- AI and the Turing test are more than just intellectual
exercises.
- What can you do with them now.
- Existing techniques are currently being applied.
- Data mining, video games, expert systems, Internet search,
automated trading, Deep Blue, routing .....
- Conversational systems and NL Processing are in demand.
- Develop an interface via conversation is demanding, but also
in demand.
- Imagine phoning up the bank and having a conversation with a
machine instead of the press button approach followed by
a long wait for an operator.
- Imagine searching for files on your machine by conversation.
- Text Mining and Information Retrieval are also in demand.
- Domain generality is a bit trickier.
- Systems that can adapt in their current domain, as the domain
changes, are useful.
- A system that could learn a new domain would be very useful.
