Artificial intelligence and its branches (machine learning, natural language processing) are seeing increasing opportunity to impact people's real life. Here are a few fields that can apply AI:
1. Computer games
As games become more sophisticated, the characters in the game can react and play an important part in the game. Certainly there is a social aspect that is solved by multi-player game, and AI agents sorely lacking in that capability. Is there a increasing role of for AI character? or smart game evolution?
2. Internet application
1) One of the most successful product is Google Translate (http://translate.google.com). With statistical training over large data, with user feedback, it continues to improve its accuracy.
2) recommendation on E-commerce site. Whether you are buying books (Amazon) or renting a DVD (Netflix), you can get recommendations for similar products. Figuring out such "similarity" is the job of AI problem. It takes into your account of personal preferences, the community your belong to, and product features.
3) Mining blog and sentiment
3. Robots
The simple household vacuum robot needs not much intelligence. But it has the basic capability of planning and mapping. Warehouse robots has similar functions, but can have additional capabilities (such as using arm to fetch things). Entertainment robots (appearing in Museum, trade shows) may need natural language interface. Ultimately, the humanoid robots will appear in households. They need the full-range of intelligence, from planning to natural language interface.
4. Portable devices (cell phone, telemedicine device)
They interact with people on daily basis. What if we build basic intelligence into these devices so that they truly become our assistants?
5. Pattern discovery/Statistical mining
It's the power of data. Retailers, and manufacturers rely on good data to improve their service and production quality. Data mining (or machine learning with large data) is the ultimate answer.
