How critical conceptions of gender and sexuality helped to advance the artistic careers of the Alfred Stieglitz Circle and influenced American formalist aesthetics. After the closing of his first art gallery in 1917, photographer Alfred Stieglitz reemerged in the New York art world in the 1920s. He achieved his comeback in large part through the innovative means he used to promote himself an…
Researchers now agree that intelligence always manifests itself in behavior - thus it is behavior that we must understand. An exciting new field has grown around the study of behavior-based intelligence, also known as embodied cognitive science, "new AI," and "behavior-based AI."" "Rolf Pfeifer and Christian Scheier provide a systematic introduction to this new way of thinking about intelligenc…

"Reprinted from Artificial intelligence, volume 72, numbers 1-2 (January 1995) and volume 73, numbers 1-2 (February 1995)"--Title page verso.Over time the field of artificial intelligence has developed an "agent perspective" expanding its focus from thought to action, from search spaces to physical environments, and from problem-solving to long-term activity. Originally published as a special d…
Includes appendix 12A: a walking tour of the computational ideas underlying classifier systems.Two psychologists, a computer scientist, and a philosopher have collaborated to present a framework for understanding processes of inductive reasoning and learning in organisms and machines. Theirs is the first major effort to bring the ideas of several disciplines to bear on a subject that has been a…
A new computationalist view of the mind that takes into account real-world issues of embodiment, interaction, physical implementation, and semantics. Classical computationalism—-the view that mental states are computational states—-has come under attack in recent years. Critics claim that in defining computation solely in abstract, syntactic terms, computationalism neglects the real-time…
"The artificial intelligence revolution is leaving behind small businesses and organizations who cannot afford to hire in-house teams of data scientists to build bespoke models. This book explores the nature of repeated quantitative tasks driving business optimization, from the perspective of economics, statistics, decision making under uncertainty, and privacy preserving computation"--OCLC-lic…

An introduction to the work and ideas of artists who use--and even influence--science and technology.A new breed of contemporary artist engages science and technology--not just to adopt the vocabulary and gizmos, but to explore and comment on the content, agendas, and possibilities. Indeed, proposes Stephen Wilson, the role of the artist is not only to interpret and to spread scientific knowled…
