Definitions and criteria for the classification of artificial intelligence
Definitions and terms of AI (1) 1) Sztuczna inteligencja to nauka polecania maszynom wykonania zada wymagaj cych inteligencji, jak u y by cz owiek przy wykonaniu identycznych zada . (Minsky 1968) 2) Sztuczna inteligencja jest t cz ci informatyki, kt ra bada procesy rozumowania symbolicznego i niealgorytmicznego oraz zajmuje si reprezentacj symbolicznie uj tej wiedzy. (Forsyth 1984) 3) Sztuczna Inteligencja to ekscytuj ce pr by stworzenia my l cych komputer w [ ], maszyn z umys ami w pe nym tego s owa znaczeniu. (Haugeland 1985) 4) Sztuczna Inteligencja jest reaktywowanym podej ciem do rozwi zywania problem w, kt re wymaga wewn trznego, heurystycznego, poszukiwania w czasie operacji na bazie wiedzy, zw aszcza dla logicznych i analogicznych mechanizm w rozumowania. (Glover, Greenberg 1989)
Definitions and terms of AI (2) 5) Sztuczna Inteligencja to dziedzina bada , podczas kt rych pr buje si na ladowa ludzk inteligencj w maszynie. Obszar AI obejmuj systemy oparte na wiedzy, systemy eksperckie, rozpoznawania obraz w, automatyczn nauk , rozumienie j zyka naturalnego, robotyk i inne. (Kurzweil 1999) 6) Sztuczna Inteligencja jest to nauka o czynno ciach, kt re mia yby spowodowa , e maszyny b d wykonywa funkcje, kt re aktualnie lepiej wykonuje cz owiek. (Rich, Knight 1990) 7) Sztuczna Inteligencja jest to dziedzina nauki pr buj ca wyja ni i emulowa inteligentne zachowania za pomoc metod obliczeniowych. (Schalkoff 1990)
Definitions and terms of AI (3) 8) Sztuczna inteligencja [podejmuje] prace nad metodami obliczeniowymi, kt re umo liwia yby [maszynom] postrzeganie, wnioskowanie, dzia anie. (Winston 1992) 9) Termin Artficial Intelligence, w skr cie AI, odnosi si do komputer w, kt re na laduj aspekty ludzkiego my lenia. Prosty kalkulator elektroniczny nie ma statusu AI. Ale maszyna, kt ra mo e uczy si na swych b dach, albo to mo e popisa si rozumowaniem, ma status AI. Mi dzy tymi skrajno ciami, nie ma adnej dok adnej linii podzia u. (McGraw 1994) 10) Dziedzina Sztucznej Inteligencji (AI, Artificial Intelligence) obejmuje rozwi zywanie problem w sposobami wzorowanymi na naturalnych dzia aniach i procesach poznawczych cz owieka, za pomoc symuluj cych j program w komputerowych (Kwa nicka 1990)
Criteria for the classification of AI (1) Due to the lack of universally accepted criteria for the distribution of artificial intelligence suggested its division into subareas due to two criteria: solving class of tasks, technique used.
Criteria for the classification of AI (2) The following areas of AI are distinguished (according to the first criterion): automated theorem proving, automatic programming, computer vision, expert systems, game theory, information retrieval (intelligent database) machine learning , natural language processing (NLP), problem solving and strategies searches, processes of perception, robotics .
Criteria for the classification of AI (3) The following areas of AI are distinguished (according to the second criterion): Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) Expert Systems (ES), Fuzzy System (FS), Genetic Agorithms, Intelligent Information Systems (IIS), Neural Network (NN).
Examples of applications of artificial intelligence in libraries
Semantic Geo-Catalogue (SGC) project The enhancement of the search capabilities of geo-spatial tools occupies one of the highest positions in the agenda of the INSPIRE (INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe) initiative. The paper presents work on the Semantic Geo-Catalogue (SGC) project in providing a semantic extension to the geo-catalogue of the Autonomous Province of Trento (PAT) in Italy. F. Farazi, V. Maltese, B. Dutta, A. Ivanyukovich, V. Rizzi: A semantic geo-catalogue for a local administration. Artificial Intelligence Review Vol. 40 (Aug 2013), p. 193-212
Expert systems in library and information science Methods: An analysis was made of the literature, gathered on the basis of queries in some databases. The article discuses directions of research in the field of expert systems as one of the methodologies of knowledge management, using methods of artificial intelligence: problem solving and representation of knowledge (generation, valuation and knowledge management, extraction and synthesis of knowledge in the construction of expertise), "self learning", evaluation of performance. In conclusion, it attempts to identify possible areas of applications in libraries and information centers. J.

Expert systems in library and information science Examples of expert systems: ESSCAPE (Exeter of University , UK, 1982-1983, ) MAKLUM (Malaysian, 1996) DOCMATCH (University of Bradford, UK, 1996)
Expert systems in library and information science Conclusions: Quantitative analysis of the literature showed a significant decrease in the literature devoted to expert systems after 2010. Nevertheless expert systems (experimental, operated) are used in many fields. It is expected that these systems will be used in specialized libraries in the collection and codification of knowledge in selected areas of specialization.
Other applications of AI: Application of intelligent agents in libraries Chatbots in the library Semantic research for digital libraries
Conclusions Analysis of the literature showed the maintenance of a relatively large number of publications on AI Relatively few article relates to uses of AI in libraries Scientific literature was grouped in categories such as: automatic text analysis, automatic indexing, computer application, computer science, machine translation and other Examples of applications of AI relate to uses of such fields of library and information science as: classification, library technology, research, subject indexing and other Interdisciplinary character of the research is to be noticed the disciplines penetrate and complement each other
Conclusions Applicability AI in different types of libraries is still not fully successful. Various methods and techniques AI can greatly assist the process of ordering and information flow.
