196 * Marvin Minsky | |
197 Minsky really made me as a person. He was my advisor when I was a | |
198 student at MIT, and he got me my first job. He had the "magnetisim" | |
199 to attract the most talented people to MIT to work on AI, and the | |
200 right amount of negligence and delagaion to create an environment | |
201 where people could thrive. He is certainly the reason that I was | |
202 seduced into working on AI. Minsky has vast and deep Scientific | |
203 knowledge -- he could walk into almost any class: Chemistry, | |
204 Physics, Math, Computer Science, and teach the class without | |
205 preparation! | |

216 - Music, Mind, and Meaning, by Marvin Minsky | |
217 https://web.media.mit.edu/~minsky/papers/MusicMindMeaning.html | |
218 Minsky is one of a few living people who can /improvise/ | |
219 complicated Baroque era fugues. You can hear one of these | |
220 improvisations here: http://aurellem.org/mmm/ | |
221 | |
222 - [[http://web.media.mit.edu/~minsky/papers/steps.html][Steps towards Artificial Intelligence]] Here, Minsky outlines how we | |
223 might begin to build an AI. This is considered to be one of the | |
224 founding papers of the field, along with Turing's "Computing | |
225 Machinery and Intelligence" [[http://www.loebner.net/Prizef/TuringArticle.html][paper]]. | |

227 - Perceptrons, by Marvin Minsky | |

231 - People unwisely consisdered it to kill off Neural Nets; In fact, | |
232 it only shows the limitations of certain simple kinds of Neural | |
233 Nets. |
