Special Issue on Emerging Technologies and Applications of Artificial Intelligence

摘要

As the extensively growing of rich and amazing applications with artificial intelligence in our daily life, research in artificial intelligence has been deeply and wildly developed and promoted. The leading-edge definition of artificial intelligence research is changing over time and is redefined whenever researchers have reached a new impact milestone of impressed applications. In these years, the top Al headline was IBM's Watson, a question answering system which bested two top human champions on the TV game show Jeopardy! Watson is indeed a stunning achievement, proving that state-of-the-art Al techniques can handle complex natural language with surprising ease, yet it represents just one subfield of the diversely branched world of Al research. Moreover, the Kinect which provides a 3D body-motion interface for the multimedia application uses algorithms that emerged from lengthy Al research.
