Fall, 1988 Neural Networks Colloquium Series at Rutgers NEURAL NETWORKS, INTELLIGENT MACHINES AND THE AI WALL Jack Gelfand The David Sarnoff Research Center SRI International Princeton,N.J. Room 705 Hill center, Busch Campus Friday November 4, 1988 at 11:10 am Refreshments served before the talk When we look back at the last 25 years of AI research, we find that there have been many new techniques which have promised to produce intelligent machines for real world applications. Though the performance of some of these machines is quite extraordinary, very few have approached the performance of human beings for even the most rudimentary tasks. We believe that this is due to the fact that these methods have been largely monolithic, whereas biological systems approach these problems by combining many different modes of processing into integrated systems. A number of real and artificial neural network systems will be discussed in terms of how knowledge is represented, combined and processed in order to solve complex problems. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Lorien Y.
