Innovations in Intelligent Machines - 1

Innovations in Intelligent Machines is a very timely volume that takes a fresh look on the recent attempts of instilling human-like intelligence into computer-controlled devices. By contrast to the machine intelligence research of the last two decades, the recent work in this area recognises explicitly the fact that human intelligence is not purely computational but that it also has an element of empirical validation (interaction with the environment). Also, recent research recognises that human intelligence does not always prevent one from making errors but it equips one with the ability to learn from m- takes. The latter is the basic premise for the development of the collaborative (swarm)intelligencethatdemonstratesthevalueofthevirtualexperiencepool assembled from cases of successful and unsuccessful execution of a particular algorithm. The editors are to be complemented for their vision of designing a fra- work within which they ask some fundamental questions about the nature of intelligence in general and intelligent machines in particular and illustrate answers to these questions with speci?c practical system implementations in the consecutive chapters of the book.
