Artificial Intelligence Research Methodologies 人工智能研究方法

Computer Science An Overview _J. Glenn *shear _11th Edition

To appreciate the field of artificial intelligence, it is helpful to understand that it is

being pursued along two paths. One is the engineering track in which researchers

are trying to develop systems that exhibit intelligent behavior. The other is a the-

oretical track in which researchers are trying to develop a computational under-

standing of animal—especially human—intelligence. This dichotomy is clarified

by considering the manner in which the two tracks are pursued. The engineering

approach leads to a performance-oriented methodology because the underlying

goal is to produce a product that meets certain performance goals. The theoretical

approach leads to a simulation-oriented methodology because the underlying

goal is to expand our understanding of intelligence and thus the emphasis is on

the underlying process rather than the exterior performance.
