Question & Additional Information
 
What's the difference between "classical" AI and "statistical" AI?
Add to My IQ
 

Answer Title
Answer

Statistical AI, arising from machine learning, tends to be more

concerned with "inductive" thought: given a set of patterns, induce

the trend.  Classical AI, on the other hand, is more concerned with

"deductive" thought: given a set of constraints, deduce a conclusion.

Another difference, is that C++ tends to be a favourite language for statistical AI while LISP

dominates in classical AI.

 

A system can't be truly intelligent without displaying properties of

both inductive and deductive thought.  This lends many to beleive that

in the end, there will be some kind of synthesis of statistical and

classical AI.

Asynchronous Time-Division Multiplexing. Method of sending information that resembles normal TDM, except that time slots are allocated as needed rather than preassigned to specific transmitters. Compare with FDM, statistical multiplexing, and TDM.

It is a statistical measurement correlating a stock's price change with the movement of the stock market. The beta is an indicator or statistical measure of the relative volatility of a stock, fund, or other security in comparison with the market as a whole. The beta for the market is 1.00. Stocks with betas above 1.0 are more responsive to the market, but are also more risky investments. Stocks with a beta below 1.0 tend to move in the opposite direction of the market. For example, if the market moves 10%, a stock with a beta of 3.00 will move 30%; a stock with a beta of .5 will move 5%.

Ping is a computer network tool used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP network. It works by sending ICMP "echo request" packets to the target host and listening for ICMP "echo response" replies. ping estimates the round-trip time, generally in milliseconds, and records any packet loss, and prints a statistical summary when finished.

AI has achieved quite a bit
 
-Deployed speech dialog systems by firms like IBM, Dragon and Lernout&Hauspie

- Financial software, which is used by banks to scan credit card
  transactions for unusual patterns that might signal fraud. One piece
  of software is estimated to save banks $500 million annually.

- Applications of expert systems/case-based reasoning: a computerized Leukemia
  diagnosis system did a better job checking for blood disorders than human
  experts.

- Machine translation for Environment Canada: software developed in the 1970s
  translated natural language weather forcasts between English and French.
  Purportedly still in use.

- Deep Blue, the first computer to beat the human chess Grandmaster

- Physical design analysis programs,such as for buildings and highways.

- Fuzzy controllers in dishwashers, etc.

It depends what the game does.  If it's a two-player board game,
  look into the "Mini-max" search algorithm for games .  In
  most commercial games, the AI is is a combination of high-level
  scripts and low-level efficiently-coded, real-time, rule-based
  systems.  Often,  commercial games tend to use finite state machines
  for computer players.

That should not be so simple.  AI is a scientific and engineering discipline depending on
sophisticated Computer Science techniqes, mathematics, etc.  It also
is sub-divided into many distinct subfields. It is not really practical to expect to understand the technical
details of AI from a USENET forum.
