Excerpt: Kurt Gödel (German pronunciation: ; April 28, 1906, Brno, Moravia, AustriaHungary January 14, 1978, Princeton, New Jersey, USA) was an Austrian logician, mathematician and philosopher. Later in his life he emigrated to the United States to escape WWII. One of the most significant logicians of all time, Gödel made an immense impact upon scientific and philosophical thinking in the 20th century, a time when many, such as Bertrand Russell, A. N. Whitehead and David Hilbert, were pioneering the use of logic and set theory to understand the foundations of mathematics. Gödel is best known for his two incompleteness theorems, published in 1931 when he was 25 years of age, one year after finishing his doctorate at the University of Vienna. The more famous incompleteness theorem states that for any self-consistent recursive axiomatic system powerful enough to describe the arithmetic of the natural numbers (Peano arithmetic), there are true propositions about the naturals that cannot be proved from the axioms. To prove this theorem, Gödel developed a technique now known as Gödel numbering, which codes formal expressions as natural numbers. He also showed that the continuum hypothesis cannot be disproved from the accepted axioms of set theory, if those axioms are consistent. He made important contributions to proof theory by clarifying the connections between classical logic, intuitionistic logic, and modal logic. Kurt Friedrich Gödel was born April 28, 1906, in Brno, Austria-Hungary into the ethnic German family of Rudolf Gödel, the manager of a textile factory, and Marianne Gödel (born Handschuh). At the time of his birth the town had a slight German-speaking major...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=16736 ... Read more

Extrait : John von Neumann (né Neumann János, 1903-1957), mathématicien et physicien américain d'origine hongroise, a apporté d'importantes contributions tant en mécanique quantique, qu'en analyse fonctionnelle, en théorie des ensembles, en informatique, en sciences économiques ainsi que dans beaucoup d'autres domaines des mathématiques et de la physique. Il a de plus participé aux programmes militaires américains. Benjamin d'une fratrie de trois, il s'appelle tout d'abord Neumann János Lajos (les Hongrois placent les noms de famille en tête) à Budapest en Autriche-Hongrie. Il est le fils de Neumann Miksa (Max Neumann), un avocat-banquier, et de Kann Margit (Marguerite Kann). Il ne prête guère attention à ses origines juives, sinon pour son répertoire de blagues. János est un enfant prodige : à six ans, il converse avec son père en grec ancien et peut mentalement faire la division d'un nombre à huit chiffres. Une anecdote rapporte qu'à huit ans, il a déjà lu les quarante-quatre volumes de l'histoire universelle de la bi...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Product Description

What is Thinking?

What is Turings Test? What is Gödels Undecidability Theorem? How is Berners-Lees Semantic Web logic going to overcome paradoxes and complexity to produce machine processing on the Web?

Thinking on the Web draws from the contributions of Tim Berners-Lee (What is solvable on the Web?), Kurt Gödel (What is decidable?), and Alan Turing (What is machine intelligence?) to evaluate how much intelligence can be projected onto the Web.

The authors offer both abstract and practical perspectives to delineate both the opportunities and challenges of a smarter Web through a threaded series of vignettes and a thorough review of Semantic Web development.

Machine Intelligence presented intelligently


I liked this book. It actually had three distinctive features: First, the general presentation of the pioneers Berners-Lee, Godel and Turing with the key questions they posed was well done. Second, the chapters on ontology engineering, RDF, and OWL were instructive and had good examples. I found the chapters on semantic search and semantic services particularly interesting. Third, the interludes consisted of several pages of debate in-between chapters.

I particularly enjoyed the interludes - these short debates between two fictitious characters crystallized many issues dealing with AI, thinking and intelligence as they emerged from the chapter material. They were presented with humor and high spirits, but the arguments seemed well-founded and balanced. They included amusing backdrops, such as, the characters playing a chess match while discussing the tournament between Gary Kasparov and IBM's Deep Blue computer ... Read more
