What Is Thinking? What is Turing's Test? What is Gödel's Undecidability Theorem? How is Berners-Lee's Semantic Web logic going to overcome paradoxes and complexity to produce machine processing on the Web? Thinking on the Web draws from the contributions of Tim Berners-Lee (What is solvable on the Web?), Kurt Gödel (What is decidable?), and Alan Turing (What is machine intelligence?) to evaluate how much "intelligence" can be projected onto the Web. The authors offer both abstract and practical perspectives to delineate the opportunities and challenges of a "smarter" Web through a threaded series of vignettes and a thorough review of Semantic Web development.
Thinking On The Web: Berners-Lee, Godel And Turing
This book creates a vision of how solvable problems can be logically addressed on the Web to produce a semblance of machine intelligence. The unique advantage of this book is that while it addresses these sophisticated AI concepts for the Web, it presents the material at a level appropriate for the general tech-savvy audience. It also offers professional Web and software developers, insight into the next generation Web architectures and AI technologies. The professional access to tools, software and demos that enriches the book's presentations and which would be too advanced for the layman. Professionals will also benefit through the insights of connecting multiple AI concepts over the breath of coverage and gaining an appreciation of which AI areas are worthwhile to pursue.· Part Ii: Web Ontology and Logic.· Part I: What is Web Intelligence.
On the Existence of Digital Objects
Digital objects, in their simplest form, are data. They are also a new kind of industrial object that pervades every aspect of our life today—as online videos, images, text files, e-mails, blog posts, Facebook events.Yet, despite their ubiquity, the nature of digital objects remains unclear. On the Existence of Digital Objects conducts a philosophical examination of digital objects and their organizing schema by creating a dialogue between Martin Heidegger and Gilbert Simondon, which Yuk Hui contextualizes within the history of computing. How can digital objects be understood according to individualization and individuation? Hui pursues this question through the history of ontology and the study of markup languages and Web ontologies; he investigates the existential structure of digital objects within their systems and milieux. With this relational approach toward digital objects and technical systems, the book addresses alienation, described by Simondon as the consequence of mistakenly viewing technics in opposition to culture. Interdisciplinary in philosophical and technical insights, with close readings of Husserl, Heidegger, and Simondon as well as the history of computing and the Web, Hui’s work develops an original, productive way of thinking about the data and metadata that increasingly define our world.
