What is AlphaFold 2?
This video game series features an AI that now shares a name with the virtual assistant built into the Windows operating system.
What is Halo?
This overwhelmingly popular search engine uses vector similarity search to identify results that are semantically similar to a search query.
What is Google Search?
This is anything that perceives its environment and takes actions autonomously to pursue its goals.
What is an (intelligent) agent?
AI@UCI meetings are held at this time.
When is Mondays, 6:00pm-7:00pm?
In 1980, Fukushima's "Neocognitron" first introduced this type of neural network layer.
What is a convolutional layer?
2001: A Space Odyssey tells the story of this AI, whose capabilities were inspired by predictions made by AI researchers at the time.
Who is HAL 9000?
IBM's DeepBlue employed an alpha-beta pruning search algorithm to beat world champion Garry Kasparov at this game.
What is chess?
This occurs when a model fits a particular set of data too well, and is therefore less generalizable.
What is overfitting?
In 1805, this mathematician officially published the least squares method, which is the basis of much statistical modeling.
Who is Legendre?
This AI defeated two long-time champions on the quiz-show Jeopardy.
What is IBM Watson?
This computer vision task consists of identifying bounding boxes for items in an image.
What is localization?
This stochastic model is used to describe a sequence of events in which the probability of the current event depends only on the previous event.
What is a Markov process/Markov chain?
This is AI@UCI's email address.
What is aiclub@uci.edu/aiatuci@gmail.com?
In 1965, experts met at a conference at this university and established "Artificial Intelligence" as a field of research.
What is Dartmouth College?
This author first wrote about "Three Laws of Robotics", which are now seen throughout pop culture.
Who is Isaac Asimov?
Modern approaches to neural machine translation employ this approach, which uses machine learning models to learn mappings between different types of sequences.
What is seq2seq?
This dimensionality reduction technique identifies a set of orthogonal vectors that best represent the data, by finding the eigenvectors of the data's covariance matrix.
What is principle component analysis/singular value decomposition?
These are AI@UCI's faculty advisors.
Who are Dr. Mandt and Dr. Ihler?
In 2007, the Grand Challenge sponsored by this government agency had competitors design self-driving vehicles that could navigate a 60 mi. urban area course.
What is DARPA?
In this movie, the computer, WOPR, famously states "A strange game. The only winning move is not to play." after playing tic-tac-toe against itself numerous times.
What is WarGames (1983)?
This class of neural networks consisting of an encoder and a decoder, learn to reconstruct their input in an unsupervised manner, and can be used for dimensionality reduction, anomaly detection, and sample generation.
What are autoencoders?
The ResNet paper introduced an effective solution to this problem that is frequently encountered when training very deep feed-forward neural networks with gradient-based learning methods.
What is the vanishing gradient problem?
AI@UCI was founded in this year.
When was 2017?
