Artificial Intelligence: Techniques, Trends and Applications

The area of artificial intelligence is rapidly progressing, and deep neural networks are superseding many of the traditional approaches. We have seen impressive advances and super-human performance in image and video processing, natural language understanding, semantic search, speech processing, and game playing. While current state-of-the-art is far from artificial general intelligence, new capabilities are already changing both industry and public sector. We will glimpse into recent trends in artificial intelligence and its inspiring applications.
