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.
I'm 20 y/o, working on my Bach. in Computer Science. I started programming in C++ when I was 16, and I'd like to learn as much as I can about AI, either on my own, or wherever they teach it.
I've searched for information, but there's not much that can be applied. The information is either superficial, or theoric in a way that's not easy to see how it can be implemented into code.
What would be the places to look? Did you learn by work experience, or a formal degree? How can I learn AI?
Thank you in advance,
Rick
Answer it is hard for me to answer as i have spent the last 35 years developing my own designs and systems with no help from Acedemia. Most of the Acedimic stuff is no good. The focus on 'Grammer' for example is a dead end. none the less, There are many good college programs - MIT, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, for example. Also, do internet searches on terms like 'natural language recognition' 'Speech recognition' 'Vision Processing' 'Robotics' These searches will tell you a lot about AI
i learned by building it. Develop a system based on 'concept codes' connect these codes together and link them to words and phrases. parse the natural language sentences to match words and phrases to the concept codes. There - i just gave you the secret. The devil is in the details. good luck.
