 | | Minsky says that the biggest source of ideas about the theory came from his work in trying to create a machine that uses a robotic arm, a video camera, and a computer to build with children's blocks. | | | Artificial brains could be grown by a process strikingly analogous to the development of a human brain. | | | Minsky also built, in 1951, the first randomly wired neural network learning machine, SNARC. |

| | Marvin Minsky is truly one of the pioneers of the computer age. | | | Minsky believes that a well-structured problem is one in which we are given some systematic way to decide when a proposed solution is acceptable. | | | For example, chess playing and solving math problems are well-structured because they culminate in an unequivocal result: arriving at checkmate or the mathematically correct answer. |

| | Minsky, cofounder of MIT's Artificial Intelligence Lab, is a charter member of the community of AI pioneers committed to understanding the workings of the human mind and mimicking its processes by computer. | | | Minsky's writing is fluent and it might be of interest to novices in the field. | | | But Minsky's difference is his style: he writes aphoristically, with wit and precision, and makes the most of his perception that the mind learns by images, which perform as agents that connect, interact and even "censor" in a staggeringly subtle "society" of microprocedures. |

| | Minsky's Society of Mind |
| | Minsky’s book is an example of operational thinking at its best and will doubtless serve as a roadmap for much of the work in artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology in years to come. | | | To make his point about brains as machines, Minsky asks us to imagine replacing each cell in a brain with a computer chip designed to perform the same functions and connected to the other chips exactly as the brain cells are connected. | | | The cornerstone of Minsky’s theory is the conception of minds as collections of enormous numbers of semi-autonomous, intricately connected agents that are themselves mindless. |

| | In 1969 enthusiasm for neural nets was dampened somewhat by the publication of Minsky and Papert's book `Perceptrons' [27]. | | | Here, the authors show that there is an interesting class of problems (those that are not linearly separable) that single layer perceptron nets cannot solve, and they held out little hope for the training of multi-layer systems that might deal successfully with some of these. | | | The fundamental obstacle to be overcome is the so-called `credit assignment problem': in a multilayer system, how much does each unit (especially one not in the output layer) contribute to the error the net has made in processing the current training vector? |
