A classically tailored overcoat cut from glossy faux pony hair set a strong tone for outerwear, while a full selection of weekend knits ranged from clingy, delicate cardigans to chunky peplum sweaters. Giardina chose somewhat scratchy fabrics (they weren't half as bad as that sounds), like the nubby wool of a cummerbund-detail jacket or a long-sleeve party sheath made from allover holographic sequins with a scored, imperfect effect.

"FF insignia was originally a sixties thing that stood for Fun Furs. Somehow it became codified as the corporate logo. Today, with his 96th (!!!) collection for the house, Karl Lagerfeld restored that original inflection. Which was simply one more testament to his unerring ability to mount, master, and extrapolate the merest flicker of modernity.Admittedly, he has a brilliant consort in Silvia Venturini Fendi, a woman whose iconoclastic attitude to the verities of her family business inclines her to the extreme. So, with the fashion world surrendering this season to fur in every possible way (it's as though it could resist for only so long, just as compassion fatigue sets in in the world of charitable works), it was the moment for Fendi to boldly go where no man could go before—or after. Or even in between. Simply because, as Lagerfeld so crisply declared, nobody does it better.\n\nThe fun was in the function. The Fendi show rolled by in a farrago of fur, detailed by Lagerfeld in a press-kit illustration that had fur on bags, bangles, belts, booties, and sunglasses. Sam McKnight attached Mohawks of colored fox to the models' heads. Silvia hung fur owls off her bags. Strange creatures on the catwalk, she mused. Like little birds. By the time Julia Nobis closed the show in a fur coat woven in shades of pink and black and framed in barbaric shag, Silvia's little birds had evolved into a new subspecies in fashion: an elegant, extravagant, techno-barbarian riposte to the realities of everyday dress.\n\nIt wasn't just pelts. Karl conspiratorially communicated the properties of something called leather feather fur. We took that to mean the skins fringed and/or trimmed to look like an exercise in pure texture. Because the collection's attention to leather was just as persuasive as its focus on fur. The notion of the natural mutated into something entirely artificial seemed to embody the essence of FF Fendi. Hybrids—they are the strange creatures that Fendi has made. And today they ruled.",

Tisci, of course, is the youngest of nine children, all the others girls.

I was like a gypsy—you know, gypsies are always recycling old clothes. It was really one of the most fun collections I've done in my career.\n\nFun for the audience, too, who checked off the references as they came strutting by on striped snakeskin boots. No one is more responsible for fashion's current fixation on the sweatshirt than Tisci; acknowledging the fact, he opened with a new one, its front emblazoned with Bambi, more Disney-cute than his previous prints. A grunge element came through in plaids and leathers, and oversize sweaters got a fair share of his attention, too; one was paired with a sheer tulle ankle-length skirt embroidered with purple and yellow flowers that called to mind the designer's panthers and lilies collection. \n\nAs boyish as the sweatshirt is, one of Tisci's big ideas this season put the accent on the feminine. A significant number of the looks were cinched at the waist with Perfectos whose tops had been shorn off—glorified belts, really, that created a provocative, peplumed silhouette. And let us not forget the flowers and paisleys, which bloomed and swirled on butch jackets and sheer femme skirts, in lush contrast to the monastic whites and blues of Spring. The models wore matching bracelets from which dangled big, engraved medals. A fitting accessory for what could very well go down as the show of the season.",

"Strength and fragility are Haider Ackermann's lasting preoccupations, the subjects he returns to each season when you see him backstage. It's a very thin line between them, he said today. Still, this controlled collection came down on the side of strength more so than some previous seasons have. Ackermann reduced his dress offerings to just one for Fall. From a designer famous for straps spilling off shoulders, twisting seams, and trailing hems, the smoky gray panne velvet column gown here was notable for its spare simplicity. Tailoring is where his interests lie at this moment. Some of it was awkwardly oversize, with full-legged pants pooling around the model's ankles, or droopy sleeves extending almost to the knees. Those pieces were moody and evocative as all get out—like a girl in her soldier lover's uniform, or, as the designer suggested afterward, like Marilyn Monroe emerging from the hospital all bundled up against the paparazzi. (Monroe was on the sound track.) But they were also a bit indulgent on Ackermann's part. \n\nWhen you see his clothes in the front rows—and we've seen plenty this week, not just on Tilda Swinton—it's the sharper pieces that his customers gravitate to, with strong shoulders and defined waists. Gratifyingly, there was more of that sort of thing on the runway in the form of a houndstooth military jacket with the collar torn off and the seams left raw, or another jacket in surplus brown with purple velvet lining its ruffled peplum. \n\nFur is new territory for Ackermann, but he proved a dab hand. Women will surely put the power of their wallets behind his shearling flight jackets and his collarless beaver-fur coats. Those were the kind of indulgences that customers will find hard to resist.",

"A giant sun was suspended from the ceiling of the Lexington Avenue Armory for tonight's Marc Jacobs show, postponed from his usual Monday night slot due to delivery issues. The orb turned your seatmates' faces a startling shade of yellow, but when you looked across the enormous concrete stage, everything was in shades of gray, almost like an old sepia photo. It had the same desaturating effect on the clothes Jacobs sent out. You could make out patterns, like the microplaid of a simple shirtdress, and you could see texture, such as the mohair of snug tops, the fox fur on coats, or the flash of sequins, but you couldn't really determine their color beyond guessing whether something was light or dark. If he had left it at that, it would have been an intriguing though ultimately frustrating experience. But then Jacobs turned up the house lights and sent all 55 models, who wore matching shag wigs, out again to repeat the circuit. It was then you noticed that some of the plaid actually sparkled and that from dress to dress the sequins changed from navy to burgundy to rose to shimmering gold.\n\nThis isn't the first time that Jacobs has fiddled with the traditional runway show format—several years ago, he staged a show back to front. But why send the clothes out twice, first colorless, then not? Jacobs lifted the low-frequency light idea from Olafur Eliasson's The Weather Project at the Tate in London, a show that resonated with him after his newly rebuilt West Village house was badly damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Last season was all black and white, and life unfortunately isn't that way, it's all the shades of gray, he said backstage. I've felt out of sorts, and I wanted to see things sort of dismal and then still show the optimistic side.Somewhere Over the Rainbow, a song we've heard at an MJ show before, was the other obvious reference point.\n\nAs for the clothes themselves, they were stripped down and irony-free: cable-knit sweaters, tailored blazers and vests, silk pajamas, fox chubbies, scads of high-waisted briefs—all familiar from Jacobs' oeuvre. The fact that the designer came out for his bow in pajamas of his own (Prada, for the record) offered a clue. He was after the comfort of the familiar. In a New York season strong on real-life clothes, the straightforwardness of that approach resonated. Partially led by Jacobs himself, fashion has been dominated these last few years by high-concept and often overelaborate clothes, and tonight's new direction felt right. There were terrific coats here for days, as well as neat little office-bound sweater and pencil skirt sets. For after-dark, Jacobs layered on those sequins: the most striking looks a pair of evening coats in oversize paillettes with plush fox fur draped around the neck. When the models came out for the finale, they assembled themselves into an orb of their own. Only Marc could turn a bout of melancholy and such simple clothes into the show of the week.",

"Albert Kriemler lost his mother, Ute, last December. His show today, accompanied by a small orchestra playing her favorite composer, Bach, was a tribute to her, he explained backstage. Although it was almost all black, and inspired by her personal wardrobe of turtleneck gowns, blouse-and-pant combos, and clean tailoring, his new Akris collection wasn't necessarily somber.\n\nThough in demeanor still mournful, Kriemler found interesting ways of letting in the light. Starting with the house's signature photoprints: This season, he used a dark photograph of a street, the streetlamps casting horizontal white lines across the planes of what he called his new three-piece suit—a double-face cocoon coat worn over a double-breasted jacket and a tunic dress. A nubby, three-dimensional St. Gallen embroidery added shimmer to a short cape and its matching pencil skirt, while a floor-grazing skirt in unlined lamb's fur had its own sheen. Other embellishments, including gridlike patterns of jet crystals and silk fringe, lit up his evening offerings. The fringe was contained by horizontal seams; Kriemler didn't seem quite up to the cheerfulness that loose fringe might've suggested.\n\nAnd yet there were other intimations of a son and a company moving on. Kriemler had some brilliant sportswear on the runway today; his customer will love the look of an oversize herringbone sweater and snood worn with matching chevroned pants, or a pantsuit in a tonal plaid cut from cashmere, angora, and wool. In right about the middle of the show, he included a single white lamb's-fur coat. That bright moment served to underscore the poignancy of this season's story, and one couldn't help but be moved.",

"Want to make a lovely dress? That's easy—buy a pattern. Want to make a dress that's interesting, or even (aiming higher now) engrossing? For that, you'll have to find new ideas, something that Brood's Serkan Sarier has proven he possesses during his six seasons on the scene. Brood is always about pairing opposites, Sarier said at his Fall 2013 presentation. The idea is merging two things that seem completely opposite into something that hopefully is harmonious. The opposites attracting fashionable eyes today were an eighteenth-century Provençal floral print and monochromatic circles culled from the work of op-art pioneer Victor Vasarely. \n\nIt was as if Damien Hirst sent his assistants to work on one of William Morris' proper wallpaper florals, simultaneously debasing and energizing the traditional motif.Sarier's hybrid print lent itself equally well to a stiff faille skirt with trapunto stitching at the hem as it did to a long, cowl-necked silk georgette dress. The most interesting pieces made use of couturelike techniques to create ballooning volumes. One look that resembled a corseted bodice and full, New Look skirt turned out to be a one-piece dress. Zippers, toggles, and drawstrings balanced the more formal elements and introduced a sharp sportiness throughout. A gray wool skirt, with inverted pleats in the print, and the coordinating tailored, print-lined hoodie looked like strong prospects to see mixed into plugged-in wardrobes soon.",

"It's not for everybody, designer Custo Dalmau said the Saturday before his Fall show, going through looks with the team at his Soho boutique. Indeed it is not. An utter mishmash of fabrics, colors, materials, and prints, it's easy to knock a collection that many would consider the ultimate hot mess. Titled Beauty and the Best, the lengthy runway show featured too many concepts to mention, but here are a few. For women, Dalmau did tiny dresses with pronounced shoulders in a variety of sparkly, jangly fabrics and knits. There was also an Aztec skirt reminiscent of Proenza Schouler's 2012 collection. For men, it was all about wildly printed suiting; woolly shawls were draped over the models' shoulders.\n\nIt's hard to imagine any guy going for those capes, but the suits? There's surely a market. Because Dalmau does have a following. For those who subscribe to the Christian Audigier aesthetic, he offers fun party clothes that look great on the beaches of Miami and Spain. It's just that very few of them attend New York fashion week. Dalmau's been showing since 1997—an impressive run—but he might be better off trying, say, Madrid fashion week or even Rio on for size.

"For Spring, Frida Giannini went all in with color: azalea pink, fuchsia, and a Riviera blue that conjured sun-soaked images of the Italian jet set circa the seventies. Clearly, the Gucci designer prefers the dark side, because she's back in black for Fall, name-checking Allen Jones, the British Pop artist with the kinky streak, and juxtaposing, as her program notes put it, a demure, couture-inspired silhouette with a subversive undertone. She may be a couple weeks shy of giving birth to her first baby, but she isn't oblivious to the power of sex, that's for sure.\n\nBecause, in the end, this collection will never quite qualify as demure. How could it, with all the shiny black python she used for little numbers like a fitted skirtsuit with a slit up to there in back or a second-skin dress? Body-con and sexy, the python pieces were hands down the strongest thing about the show. The forties by way of the seventies is a look that's gaining traction this season, and the cabans, the peplum jackets, and the hourglass dresses with exaggerated hips here put Gucci in the middle of that dialogue. But some of Giannini's tailleurs in bulky astrakhan or pony hair seemed stiff, and too much of the past. It was a feeling that the fetish-y accessories—fishnets, gloves, patent oxford booties—didn't quite dispel, although the black leather and snakeskin turtlenecks she layered underneath many of the pieces added a modernizing element. Long-sleeve silk sheaths, some with bib insets of delicate black lace mesh, were in her sweet spot. The softer, suppler fabrics made a difference. At the other end of the spectrum, a boxy powder blue men's coat with a deep lapel and a fur collar had its fans.\n\nThe stretch lace mesh carried over to her evening looks—silk cocktail dresses, gowns, and jumpsuits with peekaboo bodices exuberantly embroidered in winglike patterns with sequins, paillettes, feathers, and silk fringe. Kasia Struss' knee-length cocktail number, in particular, looked like a decadent night out. Once baby comes, Giannini can do some vicarious partying when she sees them on the red carpet circuit.",

"The set was special: a metallic polyhedron carved into the floor. Jil said it was supposed to represent the cut of a diamond, something rare and precious. Toward the end of her show, a coat emerged, bifurcated, its top half coated in luxuriant black fur. It was immediately followed by a handful of sober wool pieces decorated with a strip of gold foil. \n\nDiamonds, fur, gold…emblems of luxury. Maybe more. You buy gold when you don't trust the future, Sander said backstage. But we're optimists. We want to believe. One thing that was quite clear here was Sander's conviction that she still has plenty to say in fashion. Yet she speaks almost too quietly. The serenity of today's presentation was unimpeachable. There was a particular skirt proportion, flaring just below the knee, that was convincingly, timelessly elegant. Jackets were elongated, slightly suppressed at the waist. Coats were mannish, reassuringly oversize. Buckled shoes with a big heel had a solid Puritan quality. All of that added up to an eminently sensible antidote to whatever is happening anywhere else in fashion. \n\nSuch is the nature of this business that you often don't know what you want till you've seen what you don't want. Jil Sander's show offered elegance, restraint, sobriety in such crisp, clearly defined terms that it could almost function as a manifesto for whatever comes next. Still, you craved the tweak. Maybe it was there in that flash of fur or splash of gold. What joy it would be if this were the start of an unexpected wingy-ness in a designer who truly has nothing left to lose in exploring the deep-rooted whys of what she does.",

Tapestry prints, geometric jackets, and glam wool felt fedoras with three-foot feather twills will all appeal to the Issa girl—a representation of whom appeared in the front row via the girl group the Saturdays. Yet pare it down and there was some really hard work at play: A jacquard knit turned out to be less sloppy, more structural. A heavy crepe de chine dress in a burnt orange with cut mirrors and crystals was a tour de force of embroidery. The curly Mongolian jackets and the boxy tapestry jackets all cried out for an open fire beneath the night sky.\n\nIn essence, this collection was all about the Issa woman on a spiritual retreat, cloaked in some high-luxe comfort. And all that is well and good, but don't forget that an Issa woman comes back from her retreat and re-toxes, and for that she needs some high-wattage glamour—think of the royal clients, after all. For them there were a red silk jersey gown (an Issa mainstay) and a smoldering ember-printed caftan with beaded fringe collar. Then there was a standout jade green maxi dress with gold Lurex threads that had models like Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn pausing to take a closer look backstage.\n\nSince Camilla Al Fayed bought 51 percent of the company in 2011, Issa has turned into a juggernaut with no signs of abatement: The label's first shop opens in Tokyo in a few weeks, followed by Brazil in June. Helayel tells us this is her first collection that she feels is truly directional, and indeed, if that direction is toward the cash register, Issa is certainly moving fast.",

The term Art Deco was taken from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes, a world’s fair held in Paris in 1925.[10] Art Deco rejected many traditional classical influences in favor of more streamlined geometric forms and metallic color. The Art Deco style influenced all areas of design, especially interior design, because it was the first style of interior decoration to spotlight new technologies and materials.\n\nArt Deco style is mainly based on geometric shapes, streamlining and clean lines. The well-maintained Muswell Hill Odeon was an Art Deco style interior. Its striking lighting fixtures include an illuminated ribbon running down the middle of the ceiling to the top of the screen, which creates a streamlined effect, with a circular light be placed in the recessed ceiling area as a focal point. The geometrical shapes, angular edges and clean lines offer a sharp, cool look of mechanized living utterly at odds with anything that came before. The spacious lounge of Chicago’s 1929 Powhatan apartments which designed by Robert S. Degolyer and Charles L. Morgan is also a key Art Deco icon. These apartments note the geometric patterns on the ceiling’s light panels, as well as on the mouldings, grilles and pelmet. All of these geometric patterns provide by sharp angles and well-define lines that give the whole space a clean and elegant looking.",

Some of the materials used in art deco style interiors are direct reflection of the time period. Materials like stainless steel, aluminium, lacquer, and inlaid woods all reflect the modern age that was ushered in after the end of the World War,and the steel and aluminium also reflect the growing aviation movement of the time. The innovative combinations of these materials create theatrical contrasts which were very popular at the end of the 1920s and during the 1930s, for example, the mixing highly polished wood and black lacquer with satin and furs.[16] The barber shop in the Austin Reed store in London was designed by P. J. Westwood. It was the trendiest barber shop in Britain by using metallic materials. \n\nThe whole barber shop was a gleaming ovoid space of mirrors, marble, chrome and frosted glass.

This sense of intricacy and simplicity in Japanese designs is still valued in modern Japan as it was in traditional Japan.\n\nJapanese interior design is very efficient in the use of resources. Traditional and modern Japanese interiors have been flexible in use and designed mostly with natural materials. The spaces are used as multifunctional rooms. The rooms can be opened to create more space for an occasion or more private and closed-off by pulling closed paper screens called shoji. A large portion of Japanese interior walls are often made of shoji screens that can be pushed opened to join two rooms together, and then close them allowing more privacy. The shoji screens are made of paper attached in thin wooden frames that roll away on a track when they are pushed opened. Another large importance of the shoji screen besides privacy and seclusion is that they allow light through. This is an important aspect to Japanese design. Paper translucent walls allow light to be diffused through the space and create light shadows and patterns. Another way to connect rooms in Japan’s interiors is through Sliding panels made of wood and paper, like the shoji screens, or cloth. These panels are called Fusuma and are used as an entire wall.

The Three Laws are:\n\nA robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.\nA robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.\nA robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.\n\nThese form an organizing principle and unifying theme for Asimov's robotic-based fiction, appearing in his Robot series, the stories linked to it, and his Lucky Starr series of young-adult fiction. The Laws are incorporated into almost all of the positronic robots appearing in his fiction, and cannot be bypassed, being intended as a safety feature. Many of Asimov's robot-focused stories involve robots behaving in unusual and counter-intuitive ways as an unintended consequence of how the robot applies the Three Laws to the situation in which it finds itself. Other authors working in Asimov's fictional universe have adopted them and references, often parodic, appear throughout science fiction as well as in other genres.\n\nThis cover of I, Robot illustrates the story Runaround, the first to list all Three Laws of Robotics.\n\nThe original laws have been altered and elaborated on by Asimov and other authors. Asimov himself made slight modifications to the first three in various books and short stories to further develop how robots would interact with humans and each other. In later fiction where robots had taken responsibility for government of whole planets and human civilizations, Asimov also added a fourth, or zeroth law, to precede the others:\nA robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.

When Fredersen asks what it is, he calls her Futura ... Parody whatever you like to call it. Also: Delusion ... In short a woman. Rotwang then explains that Futura is perfectly obedient and that she is the ideal agent-provocateur, able to become any woman and tempt men to their doom.

"Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines or software, and is also a branch of computer science that studies and develops intelligent machines and software. Major AI researchers and textbooks define the field as the study and design of intelligent agents, where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1955, defines it as the science and engineering of making intelligent machines.AI research is highly technical and specialised, deeply divided into subfields that often fail to communicate with each other. Some of the division is due to social and cultural factors: subfields have grown up around particular institutions and the work of individual researchers. AI research is also divided by several technical issues. There are subfields which are focused on the solution of specific problems, on one of several possible approaches, on the use of widely differing tools and towards the accomplishment of particular applications.\n\nThe central problems (or goals) of AI research include reasoning, knowledge, planning, learning, communication, perception and the ability to move and manipulate objects.General intelligence (or strong AI) is still among the field's long term goals. Currently popular approaches include statistical methods, computational intelligence and traditional symbolic AI. There are an enormous number of tools used in AI, including versions of search and mathematical optimization, logic, methods based on probability and economics, and many others.\n\nThe field was founded on the claim that a central property of humans, intelligence—the sapience of H**o sapiens—can be so precisely described that it can be simulated by a machine. This raises philosophical issues about the nature of the mind and the ethics of creating artificial beings, issues which have been addressed by myth, fiction and philosophy since antiquity. Artificial intelligence has been the subject of tremendous optimism but has also suffered stunning setbacks. Today it has become an essential part of the technology industry, providing the heavy lifting for many of the most difficult problems in computer science.",

"Knowledge representation and knowledge engineering are central to AI research. Many of the problems machines are expected to solve will require extensive knowledge about the world. Among the things that AI needs to represent are: objects, properties, categories and relations between objects; situations, events, states and time; causes and effects; knowledge about knowledge (what we know about what other people know); and many other, less well researched domains. A representation of what exists is an ontology: the set of objects, relations, concepts and so on that the machine knows about. The most general are called upper ontologies, which attempt to provide a foundation for all other knowledge.Among the most difficult problems in knowledge representation are:\n\nDefault reasoning and the qualification problem\n\nMany of the things people know take the form of working assumptions. For example, if a bird comes up in conversation, people typically picture an animal that is fist sized, sings, and flies. None of these things are true about all birds. John McCarthy identified this problem in 1969 as the qualification problem: for any commonsense rule that AI researchers care to represent, there tend to be a huge number of exceptions. Almost nothing is simply true or false in the way that abstract logic requires. AI research has explored a number of solutions to this problem. The breadth of commonsense knowledge \n\nThe number of atomic facts that the average person knows is astronomical. Research projects that attempt to build a complete knowledge base of commonsense knowledge (e.g., Cyc) require enormous amounts of laborious ontological engineering — they must be built, by hand, one complicated concept at a time. A major goal is to have the computer understand enough concepts to be able to learn by reading from sources like the internet, and thus be able to add to its own ontology.\n\nThe subsymbolic form of some commonsense knowledge \n\nMuch of what people know is not represented as facts or statements that they could express verbally. For example, a chess master will avoid a particular chess position because it feels too exposed or an art critic can take one look at a statue and instantly realize that it is a fake. These are intuitions or tendencies that are represented in the brain non-consciously and sub-symbolically. Knowledge like this informs, supports and provides a context for symbolic, conscious knowledge. As with the related problem of sub-symbolic reasoning, it is hoped that situated AI, computational intelligence, or statistical AI will provide ways to represent this kind of knowledge.",

However, if the agent is not the only actor, it must periodically ascertain whether the world matches its predictions and it must change its plan as this becomes necessary, requiring the agent to reason under uncertainty.\n\nMulti-agent planning uses the cooperation and competition of many agents to achieve a given goal.

The machine-learning paradigm calls instead for using general learning algorithms — often, although not always, grounded in statistical inference — to automatically learn such rules through the analysis of large corpora of typical real-world examples. A corpus (plural, corpora) is a set of documents (or sometimes, individual sentences) that have been hand-annotated with the correct values to be learned.\n\nMany different classes of machine learning algorithms have been applied to NLP tasks.

Some of the earliest-used algorithms, such as decision trees, produced systems of hard if-then rules similar to the systems of hand-written rules that were then common. Increasingly, however, research has focused on statistical models, which make soft, probabilistic decisions based on attaching real-valued weights to each input feature.

Many of Asimov's robot-focused stories involve robots behaving in unusual and counter-intuitive ways as an unintended consequence of how the robot applies the Three Laws to the situation in which it finds itself. Other authors working in Asimov's fictional universe have adopted them and references, often parodic, appear throughout science fiction as well as in other genres.\n\nThis cover of I, Robot illustrates the story Runaround, the first to list all Three Laws of Robotics.\n\nThe original laws have been altered and elaborated on by Asimov and other authors. Asimov himself made slight modifications to the first three in various books and short stories to further develop how robots would interact with humans and each other. In later fiction where robots had taken responsibility for government of whole planets and human civilizations, Asimov also added a fourth, or zeroth law, to precede the others:\nA robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm. The Three Laws, and the zeroth, have pervaded science fiction and are referred to in many books, films, and other media.",

"I, Robot is a collection of nine science fiction short stories by Isaac Asimov, first published by Gnome Press in 1950 in an edition of 5,000 copies. The stories originally appeared in the American magazines Super Science Stories and Astounding Science Fiction between 1940 and 1950. The stories are woven together as Dr. Susan Calvin tells them to a reporter (the narrator) in the 21st century. Though the stories can be read separately, they share a theme of the interaction of humans, robots, and morality, and when combined they tell a larger story of Asimov's fictional history of robotics.\n\nSeveral of the stories feature the character of Dr. Susan Calvin, chief robopsychologist at U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men, Inc., the major manufacturer of robots. Upon their publication in this collection, Asimov wrote a framing sequence presenting the stories as Calvin's reminiscences during an interview with her about her life's work, chiefly concerned with aberrant behaviour of robots, and the use of robopsychology to sort them out. The book also contains the short story in which Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics first appear. Other characters that appear in these short stories are Powell and Donovan, a field-testing team which locates flaws in USRMM's prototype models.",

"The Maschinenmensch (German for machine-human) from Metropolis, is a gynoid (female robot and female android) played by German actress Brigitte Helm in both its robot form and human incarnation. Named Maria in the film, and Futura in the Novel, she was the first robot ever depicted in cinema. Robot Maria's haunting blank face, slightly open lips, and pronounced female curves in the film have been the subject of disgust and fascination alike.\n\nThe Maschinenmensch has been given several names through the decades: Parody, Ultima, Machina, Futura, Robotrix, False Maria, Robot Maria, and Hel. The intertitles of the 2010 restoration of Metropolis quotes Rotwang, the robot's creator, referring to his gynoid Maschinenmensch as the Machine-Man.\n\nThe Maschinenmensch's back story is detailed in Thea von Harbou's original 1927 novel. It is described as a very delicate, but faceless, transparent figure made of crystal flesh with silver bones and its eyes filled with an expression of calm madness. Rotwang addresses it as Parody. When Fredersen asks what it is, he calls her Futura ... Parody whatever you like to call it. Also: Delusion ... In short a woman. Rotwang then explains that Futura is perfectly obedient and that she is the ideal agent-provocateur, able to become any woman and tempt men to their doom. Later, when Rotwang has given it Maria's appearance he instructs her to disobey Fredersen on purpose and foil his plans and ultimately destroy him. Though mention is made of Rotwang's former lover, Hel, they are never directly associated with each other.",

"A humanoid robot is a robot with its body shape built to resemble that of the human body. A humanoid design might be for functional purposes, such as interacting with human tools and environments, for experimental purposes, such as the study of bipedal locomotion, or for other purposes. In general, humanoid robots have a torso, a head, two arms, and two legs, though some forms of humanoid robots may model only part of the body, for example, from the waist up. Some humanoid robots may also have heads designed to replicate human facial features such as eyes and mouths. Androids are humanoid robots built to aesthetically resemble humans.\n\nHumanoid robots are used as a research tool in several scientific areas.Researchers need to understand the human body structure and behavior (biomechanics) to build and study humanoid robots. On the other side, the attempt to simulate the human body leads to a better understanding of it. Human cognition is a field of study which is focused on how humans learn from sensory information in order to acquire perceptual and motor skills. This knowledge is used to develop computational models of human behavior and it has been improving over time.",

"Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines or software, and is also a branch of computer science that studies and develops intelligent machines and software. Major AI researchers and textbooks define the field as the study and design of intelligent agents, where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1955, defines it as the science and engineering of making intelligent machines.AI research is highly technical and specialised, deeply divided into subfields that often fail to communicate with each other. Some of the division is due to social and cultural factors: subfields have grown up around particular institutions and the work of individual researchers. AI research is also divided by several technical issues. There are subfields which are focused on the solution of specific problems, on one of several possible approaches, on the use of widely differing tools and towards the accomplishment of particular applications.\n\nThe central problems (or goals) of AI research include reasoning, knowledge, planning, learning, communication, perception and the ability to move and manipulate objects.General intelligence (or strong AI) is still among the field's long term goals. Currently popular approaches include statistical methods, computational intelligence and traditional symbolic AI. There are an enormous number of tools used in AI, including versions of search and mathematical optimization, logic, methods based on probability and economics, and many others.\n\nThe field was founded on the claim that a central property of humans, intelligence—the sapience of H**o sapiens—can be so precisely described that it can be simulated by a machine. This raises philosophical issues about the nature of the mind and the ethics of creating artificial beings, issues which have been addressed by myth, fiction and philosophy since antiquity. Artificial intelligence has been the subject of tremendous optimism but has also suffered stunning setbacks. Today it has become an essential part of the technology industry, providing the heavy lifting for many of the most difficult problems in computer science.",

"Knowledge representation and knowledge engineering are central to AI research. Many of the problems machines are expected to solve will require extensive knowledge about the world. Among the things that AI needs to represent are: objects, properties, categories and relations between objects; situations, events, states and time; causes and effects; knowledge about knowledge (what we know about what other people know); and many other, less well researched domains. A representation of what exists is an ontology: the set of objects, relations, concepts and so on that the machine knows about. The most general are called upper ontologies, which attempt to provide a foundation for all other knowledge.Among the most difficult problems in knowledge representation are:\n\nDefault reasoning and the qualification problem\n\nMany of the things people know take the form of working assumptions. For example, if a bird comes up in conversation, people typically picture an animal that is fist sized, sings, and flies. None of these things are true about all birds. John McCarthy identified this problem in 1969 as the qualification problem: for any commonsense rule that AI researchers care to represent, there tend to be a huge number of exceptions. Almost nothing is simply true or false in the way that abstract logic requires. AI research has explored a number of solutions to this problem. The breadth of commonsense knowledge \n\nThe number of atomic facts that the average person knows is astronomical. Research projects that attempt to build a complete knowledge base of commonsense knowledge (e.g., Cyc) require enormous amounts of laborious ontological engineering — they must be built, by hand, one complicated concept at a time. A major goal is to have the computer understand enough concepts to be able to learn by reading from sources like the internet, and thus be able to add to its own ontology.\n\nThe subsymbolic form of some commonsense knowledge \n\nMuch of what people know is not represented as facts or statements that they could express verbally. For example, a chess master will avoid a particular chess position because it feels too exposed or an art critic can take one look at a statue and instantly realize that it is a fake. These are intuitions or tendencies that are represented in the brain non-consciously and sub-symbolically. Knowledge like this informs, supports and provides a context for symbolic, conscious knowledge. As with the related problem of sub-symbolic reasoning, it is hoped that situated AI, computational intelligence, or statistical AI will provide ways to represent this kind of knowledge.",

They need a way to visualize the future (they must have a representation of the state of the world and be able to make predictions about how their actions will change it) and be able to make choices that maximize the utility (or value) of the available choices.\nIn classical planning problems, the agent can assume that it is nthe only thing acting on the world and it can be certain what the consequences of its actions may be. However, if the agent is not the only actor, it must periodically ascertain whether the world matches its predictions and it must change its plan as this becomes necessary, requiring the agent to reason under uncertainty.\n\nMulti-agent planning uses the cooperation and competition of many agents to achieve a given goal. Emergent behavior such as this is used by evolutionary algorithms and swarm intelligence.",

"Machine learning, a branch of artificial intelligence, is about the construction and study of systems that can learn from data. For example, a machine learning system could be trained on email messages to learn to distinguish between spam and non-spam messages. After learning, it can then be used to classify new email messages into spam and non-spam folders.\n\nThe core of machine learning deals with representation and generalization. Representation of data instances and functions evaluated on these instances are part of all machine learning systems. Generalization is the property that the system will perform well on unseen data instances; the conditions under which this can be guaranteed are a key object of study in the subfield of computational learning theory. There is a wide variety of machine learning tasks and successful applications. Optical character recognition, in which printed characters are recognized automatically based on previous examples, is a classic example of machine learning.",

"Modern NLP algorithms are based on machine learning, especially statistical machine learning. The paradigm of machine learning is different from that of most prior attempts at language processing. Prior implementations of language-processing tasks typically involved the direct hand coding of large sets of rules. The machine-learning paradigm calls instead for using general learning algorithms — often, although not always, grounded in statistical inference — to automatically learn such rules through the analysis of large corpora of typical real-world examples. A corpus (plural, corpora) is a set of documents (or sometimes, individual sentences) that have been hand-annotated with the correct values to be learned.\n\nMany different classes of machine learning algorithms have been applied to NLP tasks. These algorithms take as input a large set of features that are generated from the input data. Some of the earliest-used algorithms, such as decision trees, produced systems of hard if-then rules similar to the systems of hand-written rules that were then common. Increasingly, however, research has focused on statistical models, which make soft, probabilistic decisions based on attaching real-valued weights to each input feature. Such models have the advantage that they can express the relative certainty of many different possible answers rather than only one, producing more reliable results when such a model is included as a component of a larger system.",

"Computer vision is a field that includes methods for acquiring, processing, analyzing, and understanding images and, in general, high-dimensional data from the real world in order to produce numerical or symbolic information, e.g., in the forms of decisions. A theme in the development of this field has been to duplicate the abilities of human vision by electronically perceiving and understanding an image. This image understanding can be seen as the disentangling of symbolic information from image data using models constructed with the aid of geometry, physics, statistics, and learning theory. Computer vision has also been described as the enterprise of automating and integrating a wide range of processes and representations for vision perception.\n\nApplications range from tasks such as industrial machine vision systems which, say, inspect bottles speeding by on a production line, to research into artificial intelligence and computers or robots that can comprehend the world around them. The computer vision and machine vision fields have significant overlap. Computer vision covers the core technology of automated image analysis which is used in many fields. Machine vision usually refers to a process of combining automated image analysis with other methods and technologies to provide automated inspection and robot guidance in industrial applications.\n\nAs a scientific discipline, computer vision is concerned with the theory behind artificial systems that extract information from images.
