Evolution Of Artificial Intelligence

  Evolution Of Artificial Intelligence 1951- SNARC (Stochastic Neural Analog Reinforcement Calculator):        SNARC   is a  neural net  machine designed by  Marvin Lee Minsky in the year 1951.As an UG student at Harvard in the late 1940s and in his first year of grad school at Princeton in 1950, Marvin Minsky thought about how to build a machine that could learn. Eventhough Minsky studied mathematics,  he was curious about the human mind,what he perceived as  a mystery in science.  He wanted to better understand intelligence by prototying it.  Minsky with the help of fellow Princeton graduate student Dean Edmonds,  crafted the first artificial neural network called SNARC,which included 40 interconnected artificial neurons, each of which had short-term and long-term memory of sorts. The short-term memory came in the form of a capacitor,  that could remember for a few seconds if the neuron had recently relayed ...
