ExpertSystemShell The collection of programs whose running copies can act as agents in a limited capacity. They can be atomic or a collection of cooperating sub-programs, which may be loosely or tightly coupled. IntelligentComputerProgram intelligent computer program NeuralNetwork A computer simulation of the way that biological nervous systems (such as the brain) process information. A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rva_UWZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">NeuralNetwork</a> is composed of a large number of highly interconnected, simple processing elements working in parallel to solve specific problems. Learning involves adjustments to the connections between these elements. neural net Eliza Eliza-TheProgram the Cyc InterLocutor CycInterlocutor A version of celluar automata proved turing complete by Gosper. Consists of a grid of cells which change by update rules. A dynamic diagram would be much better here.

ArtificialIntelligenceProgram type of computer program by function A collection of types of computer programs. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvrxE_ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ComputerProgramTypeByFunction</a> is a collection of programs (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwJxiRJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ComputerProgram_CW</a>) whose instances all serve a similar function and can be used for a similar purpose. This purpose might be very specific (see e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rveW_XZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AutoLoanCalculatorProgram</a>) or more general (see e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwGM3oZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">FinancialProgram</a>). ComputerProgramTypeByFunction A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwJxiRJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ComputerProgram_CW</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvyBIVpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ApplicationProgram</a> is a program whose running copies perform specific functions either directly for users or as background processes. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvyBIVpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ApplicationProgram</a> is disjoint with <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViws5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">OperatingSystem</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQ499ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">OperatingSystemKernel</a>. Together, these three collections partition <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwJxiRJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ComputerProgram_CW</a>. application program ApplicationProgram Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use. prettyString artificial intelligence program Artificial intelligence programs are computer programs designed to perform extremely complex tasks such as common-sense reasoning, pattern recognition, natural language understanding, sophisticated game-playing, and medical diagnosis.
