The limits of machine intelligence

The Limits to Machine Consciousness

It is generally accepted that machines can replicate cognitive tasks performed by conscious agents as long as they are not based on the capacity of awareness. We consider several views on the nature of subjective awareness, which is fundamental for selfreflection and review, and present reasons why this property is not computable. We argue that consciousness is more than an epiphenomenon and as...

Tests of Machine Intelligence

Although the definition and measurement of intelligence is clearly of fundamental importance to the field of artificial intelligence, no general survey of definitions and tests of machine intelligence exists. Indeed few researchers are even aware of alternatives to the Turing test and its many derivatives. In this paper we fill this gap by providing a short survey of the many tests of machine i...

The machine intelligence Hex project

Hex is a challenging strategy board game for two players. To enhance students’ progress in acquiring understanding and practical experience with complex machine intelligence and programming concepts we developed the Machine Intelligence Hex (MIHex) project. The associated undergraduate student assignment is about designing and implementing Hex players and evaluating them in an automated tournam...

Limits on Learning Machine

Random errors and insuuciencies in databases limit the performance of any classiier trained from and applied to the database. In this paper we propose a method to estimate the limiting performance of classiiers imposed by the database. We demonstrate this technique on the task of predicting failure in telecommunication paths.
