Melanie Mitchell

    1 janvier 1969

    Melanie Mitchell est une professeure d'informatique dont le travail explore les mécanismes fondamentaux des systèmes complexes et de l'intelligence artificielle. Elle examine des questions essentielles telles que le raisonnement analogique et la nature de l'intelligence, cherchant à découvrir les principes qui régissent les organismes vivants comme les machines. Mitchell utilise des outils sophistiqués tels que les algorithmes génétiques et les automates cellulaires pour modéliser et analyser ces phénomènes complexes. Son approche met l'accent sur les processus sous-jacents de la pensée et de l'apprentissage, offrant aux lecteurs des perspectives éclairées sur les frontières de la compréhension scientifique.

      No recent scientific enterprise has been so alluring, terrifying, and filled with extravagant promise and frustrating setbacks as artificial intelligence. How intelligent are the best of today's AI programs? To what extent can we entrust them with decisions that affect our lives? How human-like do we expect them to become, and how soon do we need to worry about them surpassing us in most, if not all, human endeavours? From leading AI researcher and award-winning author Melanie Mitchell comes a knowledgeable and captivating account of modern-day artificial intelligence. Flavoured with personal stories and a twist of humour, Artificial Intelligence illuminates the workings of machines that mimic human learning, perception, language, creativity and common sense. Weaving together advances in AI with cognitive science and philosophy, Mitchell probes the extent to which today's 'smart' machines can actually think or understand, and whether AI requires such elusive human qualities in order to be reliable, trustworthy and beneficial. Artificial Intelligence- A Guide for Thinking Humans provides readers with an accessible, entertaining and clear-eyed view of the AI landscape, what the field has actually accomplished, how much further it has to go and what it means for all of our futures.

      Genetic algorithms serve as adaptive tools for solving practical problems and as models of natural evolutionary systems. This accessible introduction explores intriguing research in the field while guiding readers to implement and experiment with genetic algorithms themselves. It delves into key topics, especially in machine learning, scientific modeling, and artificial life, and reviews a wide range of research, including the contributions of Mitchell and her colleagues. Applications extend beyond computer science to encompass dynamical systems theory, game theory, molecular biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, and population genetics, highlighting the versatile nature of genetic algorithms as search methods applicable across various disciplines. The text is suitable for students and researchers in any scientific field, featuring numerous thought and computer exercises that reinforce understanding. The first chapter introduces genetic algorithms and their terminology, detailing two provocative applications. The subsequent chapters examine their use in machine learning (including data analysis and neural networks) and scientific models (covering learning, evolution, culture, and ecosystems). The fourth chapter discusses theoretical approaches, the fifth focuses on implementation, and the final chapter addresses unanswered questions and future prospects in evolutionary computation.
