Neural networks, intelligent machines, and the AI wall: Jack Gelfand

[Lorien Y. Pratt]

This looks like it'll be an especially interesting and controversial talk
for our department.  I hope you all can make it!

	 When we look back at the last 25 years of AI research, we find
    that there have been many new techniques which have promised to 
    produce intelligent machines for real world applications. Though
    the performance of some of these machines is quite extraordinary,
    very few have approached the performance of human beings for even
    the most rudimentary tasks. We believe that this is due to the fact
    that these methods have been largely monolithic, whereas biological
    systems approach these problems by combining many different modes
    of processing into integrated systems. A number of real and artificial
    neural network systems will be discussed in terms of how knowledge
    is represented, combined and processed in order to solve complex
    problems.
