2022/10/17 | 1,168 | 4,213 | <issue_start>username_0: I recently noticed that we have a [homework](https://ai.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/homework "show questions tagged 'homework'") tag here on AI.SE. I'm not sure exactly when it was created, but this tag doesn't seem like a useful tag to me, for basically the same reasons that [Stack Over... |
2016/08/02 | 1,193 | 4,137 | <issue_start>username_0: What does "backprop" mean? Is the "backprop" term basically the same as "backpropagation" or does it have a different meaning?<issue_comment>username_1: "Backprop" is the same as "backpropagation": it's just a shorter way to say it. It is sometimes abbreviated as "BP".

2016/08/02 | 758 | 3,184 | <issue_start>username_0: Does increasing the noise in data help to improve the learning ability of a network? Does it make any difference or does it depend on the problem being solved? How is it affect the generalization process overall?<issue_comment>username_1: Noise in the data, to a reasonable amount, may help the ... |
2016/08/02 | 943 | 3,609 | <issue_start>username_0: When you're writing your algorithm, how do you know how many neurons you need per single layer? Are there any methods for finding the optimal number of them, or is it a rule of thumb?<issue_comment>username_1: There is no direct way to find the optimal number of them: people empirically try and... |

2016/08/02 | 1,833 | 6,853 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm new to A.I. and I'd like to know in simple words, what is the fuzzy logic concept? How does it help, and when is it used?<issue_comment>username_1: It's analogous to analogue versus digital, or the many shades of gray in between black and white: when evaluating the truthiness of a result, i... |
2016/08/02 | 2,572 | 10,786 | <issue_start>username_0: The [Turing Test](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test) was the first test of artificial intelligence and is now a bit outdated. The [Total Turing Test](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test#Total_Turing_test) aims to be a more modern test which requires a much more sophisticated syste... |
2016/08/02 | 1,609 | 6,905 | <issue_start>username_0: I've heard the idea of the technological singularity, what is it and how does it relate to Artificial Intelligence? Is this the theoretical point where Artificial Intelligence machines have progressed to the point where they grow and learn on their own beyond what humans can do and their growth... |
2016/08/02 | 2,033 | 7,688 | <issue_start>username_0: I've seen emotional intelligence defined as the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically.
1. What are some strategies for artificial intelligence to begin to tackle this problem and develop emotional... |
2016/08/02 | 885 | 3,995 | <issue_start>username_0: Since human intelligence presumably is a function of a natural genetic algorithm in nature, is using a genetic algorithm in a computer an example of artificial intelligence? If not, how do they differ? Or perhaps some are and some are not expressing artificial intelligence depending upon the sc... |
2016/08/02 | 2,982 | 11,644 | <issue_start>username_0: These two terms seem to be related, especially in their application in computer science and software engineering.

2016/08/02 | 2,955 | 11,403 | <issue_start>username_0: What aspects of quantum computers, if any, can help to further develop Artificial Intelligence?<issue_comment>username_1: Quantum computers can help further develop A.I. algorithms and solve the problems to the extent of our creativity and ability to define the problem. For example breaking cry... |
2016/08/02 | 970 | 3,943 | <issue_start>username_0: I believe a Markov chain is a sequence of events where each subsequent event depends probabilistically on the current event. What are examples of the application of a Markov chain and can it be used to create artificial intelligence? Would a genetic algorithm be an example of a Markov chain sin... |
2016/08/02 | 810 | 3,495 | <issue_start>username_0: What purpose does the "dropout" method serve and how does it improve the overall performance of the neural network?<issue_comment>username_1: Dropout means that every individual data point is only used to fit a random subset of the neurons. This is done to make the neural network more like an e... |
2016/08/02 | 1,260 | 5,119 | <issue_start>username_0: Can an AI program have an IQ? In other words, can the IQ of an AI program be measured? Like how humans can do an IQ test.<issue_comment>username_1: Short answer: No.
Longer answer: It depends on what IQ exactly is, and when the question is asked compared to ongoing development. The topic you'r... |
2016/08/02 | 1,912 | 7,388 | <issue_start>username_0: Why would anybody want to use "hidden layers"? How do they enhance the learning ability of the network in comparison to the network which doesn't have them (linear models)?<issue_comment>username_1: Hidden layers by themselves aren't useful. If you had hidden layers that were linear, the end re... |
2016/08/02 | 442 | 1,913 | <issue_start>username_0: How would you estimate the generalization error? What are the methods of achieving this?<issue_comment>username_1: Generalization error is the error obtained by applying a model to data it has not seen before. So, if you want to measure generalization error, you need to remove a subset from you... |

Now that this milestone has been reached, does that represent a significant advance in artificial intelligence techniques or w... |
2016/08/02 | 807 | 3,673 | <issue_start>username_0: I have a background in Computer Engineering and have been working on developing better algorithms to mimic human thought.
