Playing Smart - Artificial Intelligence in Computer Games
Abstract: With this document we will present an overview of artificial intelligence in general and artificial intelligence in the context of its use in modern computer games in particular. To this end we will firstly provide an introduction to the terminology of artificial intelligence, followed by a brief history of this field of computer science and finally we will discuss the impact which this science has had on the development of computer games. This will be further illustrated by a number of case studies, looking at how artificially intelligent behaviour has been achieved in selected games
Towards a New Science of a Clinical Data Intelligence
In this paper we define Clinical Data Intelligence as the analysis of data
generated in the clinical routine with the goal of improving patient care. We
define a science of a Clinical Data Intelligence as a data analysis that
permits the derivation of scientific, i.e., generalizable and reliable results.
We argue that a science of a Clinical Data Intelligence is sensible in the
context of a Big Data analysis, i.e., with data from many patients and with
complete patient information. We discuss that Clinical Data Intelligence
requires the joint efforts of knowledge engineering, information extraction
(from textual and other unstructured data), and statistics and statistical
machine learning. We describe some of our main results as conjectures and
relate them to a recently funded research project involving two major German
university hospitals.Comment: NIPS 2013 Workshop: Machine Learning for Clinical Data Analysis and

Herbert Simon (1916-2001). The scientist of the artificial
With the disappearance of Herbert A. Simon, we have lost one of the most original thinkers of the 20th century. Highly influential in a number of scientific fields—some of which he actually helped create, such as artificial intelligence or information-processing psychology—Simon was a true polymath. His research started in management science and political science, later encompassed operations research, statistics and economics, and finally included computer science, artificial intelligence, psychology, education, philosophy of science, biology, and the sciences of design. His often controversial ideas earned him wide scientific recognition and essentially all the top awards of the fields in which he researched, including the Turing award from the Association of Computing Machinery, with Allen Newell, in 1975, the Nobel prize in economics, in 1978, and the Gold Medal Award for Psychological Science from the American Psychological Foundation, in 1988
Can intelligence explode?
The technological singularity refers to a hypothetical scenario in which technological advances virtually explode. The most popular scenario is the creation of super-intelligent algorithms that recursively create ever higher intelligences. It took many decades for these ideas to spread from science fiction to popular science magazines and finally to attract the attention of serious philosophers. David Chalmers' (JCS, 2010) article is the first comprehensive philosophical analysis of the singularity in a respected philosophy journal. The motivation of my article is to augment Chalmers' and to discuss some issues not addressed by him, in particular what it could mean for intelligence to explode. In this course, I will (have to) provide a more careful treatment of what intelligence actually is, separate speed from intelligence explosion, compare what super-intelligent participants and classical human observers might experience and do, discuss immediate implications for the diversity and value of life, consider possible bounds on intelligence, and contemplate intelligences right at the singularity
The Artificial Intelligence Course at the Faculty of Computer Science in the Polytechnic University of Madrid
This paper presents the experience of teaching an
Artificial Intelligence course at the Faculty of Computer
Science in the Polytechnic University of Madrid,
Spain. The objective of this course is to introduce the
students to this field, to prepare them to contribute to
the evolution of the technology, and to qualify them to
solve problems in the real world using Artificial
Intelligence technology. The curriculum of the
Artificial Intelligence course, which is integrated into
the Artificial Intelligence Department's program,
allows us to educate the students in this sense using the
monographic teaching method
Cog and the Creativity of God
The construction of a humanoid robot may be within reach. The science of artificial intelligence (AI) offers new understandings to contemporary Christian theology. First of all, the emerging field of embodied intelligence discloses the wholeness of the human being, correcting the tendency in Christian theology toward an anthropological dualism of body and soul. Secondly, artificial intelligence offers fresh understandings of the human mind, with implications for how human creativity reflects the creativity of God
