1. Artificial Intelligence René Descartes (1596-1650) hydraulic theory

2. Loom Joseph Jaquard Punch-card program Product 1752-1834

3. Joseph Jaquard

4. Charles Babbage ‘difference engine’ (1791-1871)

5. Herman Hollerith coding The pins that were positioned over holes would be able to pass through the cards. Upon passing through the cards, the pins became submerged in mercury, thus completing the circuit. The Hollerith Cards, as they became known, could be prepared in any order and stored in a logical manner. 1860-1929

6. Alan Turing (1912-1954) Relay-based computer German Enigma machine

7. Computer-based Artificial Intelligence Checkers - too simple? Chess - too simple? Kasparov vs. Big Blue

8. The perceptron is a type of artificial neural network invented in 1957 at Cornell by Frank Rosenblatt. It can be seen as the simplest kind of feedforward neural network: a linear classifier. 1928 - 1969 "the fundamental laws of organization which are common to all information handling systems, machines and men included, may eventually be understood." Perceptron

9. A multilayer perceptron (PDP network). The network ‘learns’ weights through examples (learns distances between cities in Alberta). Parallel Distributed Processing
