From facial recognition to self-driving cars, the applications of computer vision are vast and ever-expanding. Geometry plays a fundamental role in this discipline, providing the necessary mathematical framework to understand the underlying principles of how we perceive and interpret visual information in the world around us. This text explores the theories and computational techniques used to determine the geometric properties of solid objects through images. It covers the basic concepts and provides the necessary mathematical background for more advanced studies. The book is divided into clear and concise chapters covering a wide range of topics including image formation, camera models, feature detection and 3D reconstruction. Each chapter includes detailed explanations of the theory as well as practical examples to help the reader understand and apply the concepts presented. Deep Learning has brought undeniable successes and some breakthroughs in image recognition and scene description. It is nevertheless true that geometric Computer Vision remains a fundamental field. Given the impressive state-of-the-art and the rapid pace of progress in Deep Learning, it would be of course risky to rule out the possibility that the solution to many geometric vision problems, for instance reconstructing 3D structure from multiple images, can be learned from millions of examples. Yet we believe that a principled, approach that obtains the geometric structure of what we see through applied mathematics provides more insight. We would also go as far as suggesting that, in the end, such an approach can be even more fun to study and implement. The book has been written with the intention of being used as a primary resource for students on university courses in Computer Vision, particularly final year undergraduate or postgraduate Computer Science or engineering courses. To aid the reader in implementation, most of the methods discussed in the book are accompanied by a Matlab listing and the sources are available on Github. | |

 Название: The Challenge to AI: Consciousness and Ecological General Intelligence
Автор: Stephen E. Robbins
Издательство: Mercury Learning and Information
Серия: MLI Generative AI Series
Год: 2024
Страниц: 365
Язык: английский

This book invites readers to explore the intricate world where Artificial Intelligence (AI), consciousness, and human cognition intersect. This groundbreaking book considers the profound differences between man and machine, challenging existing notions in AI and cognitive science. It argues that the key to understanding intelligence lies not in software, but in the hardware of our brain – a complex biochemical system far removed from current AI architectures. Through a deep examination of time, perception, language, and the nature of thought, the book presents a compelling case for the indispensability of biology and consciousness in cognition. To achieve this, to engineer this, will indeed be a challenge for AI. Artificial general intelligence (AGI), is the gleam in the eye of the AI community. This gleam was there “at the beginning,” the beginning being in the 1950s. However, in the author’s experience (circa 1972) the computer metaphor of mind swept into a then rather sleepy cognitive psychology just barely emerging from the grips of Skinner’s rats, a field that, given this injection of the computational framework, ultimately became cognitive science. This beginning was with the publication of Newell and Simon’s Human Problem Solving, a work dedicated to showing that a fundamental algorithm, means–ends analysis, could be applied to tasks like theorem proving, cryptarithmetic problems, even chess. The generative pretrained transformers (GPTs) of generative AI, we shall see, choose a different route, in one way doing an end-around for the entire problem, in another way, simply following the same approach, but essentially relying on a form of a premade solution to the problem. | |

 Название: The Creation of a Conscious Machine: The Quest for Artificial Intelligence, 2nd Edition
Автор: Jean E. Tardy
Издательство: Mercury Learning and Information

This book presents a groundbreaking journey into the world of Generative AI technology and offers an in-depth look at the prospect of AI achieving consciousness. The book navigates through various historical and modern perspectives on AI, from ancient myths to the Turing Test to the latest in technological advancements. It covers the theoretical and practical aspects of creating a conscious AI, including the specifications for synthetic consciousness and the integration of AI with human cognition. The book questions whether generative AI can meet the traditional criteria of consciousness and how this might be realized. In 2011, I published the first version of The Creation of a Conscious Machine, tracing the evolution of the quest for AI from antiquity to the present, culminating in a definition of artificial consciousness expressed in terms of clearly defined and achievable specifications. In 2015, I published The Meca Sapiens Blueprint, a complete system architecture to implement consciousness in autonomous agents. Recently, a new type of AI system, based on Generative AI technology, was officially released. These systems are very different from autonomous agents. They are deep learning systems that integrate large amounts of existing documentation to produce conversational output that can be stunningly convincing. This raises a question: Can generative AI meet the Meca Sapiens’ specifications of consciousness, and, if so, how? In this new, expanded, version of The Creation of a Conscious Machine, we describe how the core conditions of consciousness, initially intended for synthetic agents, can also be applied to generative AI, and we outline how this can be achieved. The original content is also updated and clarified in light of recent developments in AI. | |

This book presents a new way of thinking about quantum mechanics and Machine Learning by merging the two. Quantum mechanics and Machine Learning may seem theoretically disparate, but their link becomes clear through the density matrix operator which can be readily approximated by neural network models, permitting a formulation of quantum physics in which physical observables can be computed via neural networks. As well as demonstrating the natural affinity of quantum physics and Machine Learning, this viewpoint opens rich possibilities in terms of computation, efficient hardware, and scalability. One can also obtain trainable models to optimize applications and fine-tune theories, such as approximation of the ground state in many body systems, and boosting quantum circuits’ performance. The book begins with the introduction of programming tools and basic concepts of Machine Learning, with necessary background material from quantum mechanics and quantum information also provided. This enables the basic building blocks, neural network models for vacuum states, to be introduced. The highlights that follow include: non-classical state representations, with squeezers and beam splitters used to implement the primary layers for quantum computing; boson sampling with neural network models; an overview of available quantum computing platforms, their models, and their programming; and neural network models as a variational ansatz for many-body Hamiltonian ground states with applications to Ising machines and solitons. The book emphasizes coding, with many open source examples in Python and TensorFlow, while MATLAB and Mathematica routines clarify and validate proofs. | |
