AboutChuck Cosby Expertise I can answer questions about speech recognition and natural language understanding. I am particulary strong in knowedge based natural langauge techniques. I cannot answer questions about robotics, nueral nets, prolog, or vision recognition - just speech and natural language.
Experience I have spent 25 years developing natural language software products. I have never developed speech systems, but I have developed sophisticated interfaces from natural language to speech. I have been working with speech recognition systems also for 25 years.
Question Hi Chuck
In your work on language systems can you give me one example of where a computer does something that everyone admits is "intelligent": no ifs, buts or argument.
What would it take to do this?
Is ANYTHING we do "intelligent":learn to speak, walk, ride a bike or play the piano? Or is it all just expertise gained by long practice!
What WOULD be unquestioned "intelligent" (any field at all).
Many thanks
John
Answer I don't belive a computer has ever done anything even remotely 'intelligent'. The only things that comes close (and not very close) are face recognition, speech recognition, and playing chess. are of these feats are done with brute force processing. There are no examples of true intelligence with computers.
