Summary
- The science of the Decision Engine Author Carl Edward Rasmussen Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) have been deployed in an extreme variety of areas, including for example image analysis, navigation systems, medical diagnostics and game playing among, many others.
- Despite the apparent diversity, a closer inspection reveals that the only way in which machine learning and AI contribute is by decision-making (either directly or indirectly).
- For example, a navigation system must suggest route(s), a diagnostic system has to present hypotheses and next steps, and a game player must decide on moves.
- The Secondmind Decision Engine helps people to specify objectives and possible actions together with assumptions, expert knowledge and observed data about the phenomenon of interest.
