Artificial Intelligence's long-term goal is to build the human level of artificial
intelligence. AI was born 50 years ago, in the bumpy road has made encouraging
progress, in particular, machine learning, data mining, computer vision, expert
systems, natural language processing, planning, robotics and related applications
have brought good economic benefits and social benefits. Widespread use of the
Internet is also exploring application of knowledge representation and reasoning,
to build the semantic Web, improve the effectiveness of the rate of Internet
information. The inevitable trend of information technology is intelligent. The
intelligence revolution with the goal of replacing work performed by human
brain work with machine intelligence will open up the history of human postcivilization.
If the steam engine created the industrial society, then the intelligent
machine must also be able to magically create a intelligent society to realize the
social production automation and intelligence which promote the great
development of knowledge-intensive economy.
Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science, is a discipline to study
of machine intelligence, that is to use artificial methods and techniques,
developing intelligent machines or intelligent systems to emulate, extension and
expansion of human intelligence, realize intelligent behavior. Artificial
Intelligence in general can be divided into symbolic intelligence and
computational intelligence. Symbolic intelligence is the traditional symbolic
artificial intelligence, it is the basis of physical symbol system to study the
knowledge representation, acquisition, reasoning process. Use of knowledge to
solve problems is basic, the most important features of the current symbol
intelligence, so people often put the current stage of artificial intelligence known
as knowledge engineering. Knowledge Engineering research emphasis on
knowledge information processing methods and technologies, and promote the
development of artificial intelligence.
