re: Computer Science Categories

edit

Hello. I did not remove "software engineering", in fact I added such a section header to the article (take a look, it is still there). I removed "Neural Networks" because this is only one of the many subjects studied in artificial intelligence. I would not make sense to single neural networks out, above reinforcement learning, automated reasoning, etc. —Ruud 13:01, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Traditional AI involves more theorem proving, constraint satisfaction, etc. Neural networks is an introduction to machine learning, which is more like statistics, connectionist approaches and neuroscience. Especially now with the the latest work in recurrent neural networks(), I would argue that "neural networks" and more "traditional AI" should at least have separate sub areas within A.I. I'm not entirely sure how ibm's watson works, but I would think that it may act as a convergence point between the two sub-points and parallel computing.

for SE, I didn't see that I was moved, it looked like it was removed when I looked at it. DMoE (talk) 06:43, 2 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

re: Industry

edit

Hello. A section of applications and industry would be a good addition, I think. I should really be about about computer science though, as opposed to e.g. software engineering, which has its own article. Formal verification, medical imaging and operations research spring to mind as some good practical applications of computer science. Before you start to write I suggest you read WP:MOS and WP:V first. Cheers, —Ruud 13:29, 12 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
