Academic Research Summary

First page of the academic paper
 

Today I would like to share with you a very informative academic research paper created by Imke van Heerden and Anil Bas titled "AI as Author – Bridging the GapBetween Machine Learning and Literary Theory"  published in 2021 in the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research 71. The research paper discusses the importance of other academic research in further developing AI and provides conversation to improve the quality of AI writings and literary and further discusses about AI itself being able to write literacy and papers using algorithms capable of generating natural language. The paper reviews other literature papers concerning AI such as those from Jain et al. (2017), Li et al. (2018), Loller-Andersen and Gamb ̈ack(2018), Wei et al. (2018), Xu et al. (2018), Yang et al. (2018) etc... and evaluate their conjecture.

The paper starts with defining "literature" as it is a very broad term which involves different genres and further adds the certain logics in different genres and the specific techniques to communicate meaning to readers. Secondly, the author discusses previous texts generated by deep neural networks which include data analysis, news content, film scripts and many more. Furthermore, the authors provide their evaluation to improve the quality of computer generated literature and debate whether qualitative or quantitative methods are the better approach by comparing their strengths and weaknesses. In addition, the authors state the obstacles that must be overcome for AI generated texts to  reach full potential .The paper concludes with suggestions and recommendations to contribute to the development of AI written literature.

This research is very interesting and I advise everyone interested in the topic to read through their work as it gives insight into a very specific AI topic, and includes very valuable information, the research can be read through the following link: https://www.jair.org/index.php/jair/article/view/12593/26687.

Neural Network (Initial Idea 2)

Neural Networks   Neural Networks, colloquially known as artificial neural networks (ANNs) and also simulated neural networks (SNNs), are a sub-fiend of machine learning which in it self is a sub-field of Artificial Intelligence, they are the brain of AI and are components of deep learning. The name and structure of NNs are similar to the human brain and were inspired by it, they imitate the biological neurons by signaling to each other (IBM, 2020). ANNs consist of an input layer of neurons, one or two hidden layers of neurons and a final layer of output neurons (Wang, 2003).   The diagram illustrated exemplifies a simple architecture of a neural network, the lines which connect the neurons are called weights and are associated with a number which represent the strength of connection between neurons.   There are many different types of neural networks and each are used for specific motives. Below are some of the most common ones used in the field: The perceptron “t...

Computer methodology - Artificial intelligence

Diagram of a simple feed-forward artificial neural network, with one “hidden layer,” also known as a “perceptron.” Image: Wikipedia Deep learning simply means “stacked neural networks” which are networks composed of several layers (Pathmind, 2021). Based on Rosenblatt’s perceptron, the simplest version of an artificial neural network has three layers of neurons. The first is the input layer which takes input values ,which in other words is data. This first layer of neurons is connected to the “hidden” layer. The outputs of these “hidden” neurons are then connected to the final output layer. This final layer is what gives you the answer to what the network has been trained to do (Medium, 2021).   The simplest neural networks consist of input layer, hidden layer and output layer, which are attached to each other with predictors, these predictors come attached with coefficients called "weights" , this is a non-linear network known as multilayer feed-foward network (Hyndman, R.J....
