Recent AI research, however, has focused on applying statistical and machine learning approaches to big data rather than attempting to model what people do and how they do it. In this book, Marjorie McShane and Sergei Nirenburg return to the original goal of recreating human-level intelligence in a machine. They present a human-inspired, linguistically sophisticated model of language understanding for intelligent agent systems that emphasizes meaning--the deep, context-sensitive meaning that a person derives from spoken or written language.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49739920539921,"sku":"NGR9780262045582","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262045583.jpg?v=1751070313"},{"product_id":"agents-in-the-long-game-of-ai-book-marjorie-mcshane-9780262549424","title":"Agents in the Long Game of AI","description":"\u003cb\u003eA novel approach to hybrid AI aimed at developing trustworthy agent collaborators.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The vast majority of current AI relies wholly on machine learning (ML). However, the past thirty years of effort in this paradigm have shown that, despite the many things that ML can achieve, it is not an all-purpose solution to building human-like intelligent systems. One hope for overcoming this limitation is hybrid AI- that is, AI that combines ML with knowledge-based processing. In \u003ci\u003eAgents in the Long Game of AI\u003c\/i\u003e, Marjorie McShane, Sergei Nirenburg, and Jesse English present recent advances in hybrid AI with special emphases on content-centric computational cognitive modeling, explainability, and development methodologies.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e At present, hybridization typically involves sprinkling knowledge into an ML black box. The authors, by contrast, argue that hybridization will be best achieved in the opposite way- by building agents within a cognitive architecture and then integrating judiciously selected ML results. This approach leverages the power of ML without sacrificing the kind of explainability that will foster society's trust in AI. This book shows how we can develop trustworthy agent collaborators of a type not being addressed by the \"ML alone\" or \"ML sprinkled by knowledge\" paradigms-and why it is imperative to do so.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50317952385297,"sku":"NGR9780262549424","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262549425.jpg?v=1751389151"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-marjorie-mcshane.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
