Speech title:

Artificial Intelligence : Paradigms, Applications and Challenges

Abstract:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is devoted to create intelligent software and hardware that imitates the human mind. The main goal of AI as a science and technology is to make computers smarter by creating intelligent algorithms that will allow a computer to mimic some of the functions of the human brain in selected applications. The main paradigms of AI include; general problem solving, knowledge engineering and management, expert systems, natural language processing, computer vision, computational intelligence,machine learning and robotics. And AI can support many tasks and domians ,e.g. law, education ,life sciences, healthcare , economy ,bussines ,environment ,energy and military applications.. All of these applications employ knowledge base and inferencing techniques to solve problems or help make decisions in specific domains. 

On the other side, developing of intelligent software for these applications is very difficul and complex t from the technological perspective and a challenging task. In this talk we focus our discussion around the most efficient AI paradigms used in developing such systems. In addition, the talk presents some applications of the developed systems by the author and his colleagues at AIKER-Labs in the domains of healthcare, medicine,economy, and education.
