Practical artificial commonsense
… to unexpected problems. The objective of artificial commonsense is to bring some measure of this powerful mental agility and understanding to robots and software systems. In this dissertation, I offer a practical perspective on the problem of constructing systems with commonsense. Starting …

Artificial Transmembrane Signalling
… challenging. In this dissertation, an indirect artificial transmembrane signalling mechanism which operates by controlled translocation of a synthetic transducer across the lipid bilayer was investigated. The fundamental concept of the translocation mechanism is the switching of …

Structural Damage Assessment Using Artificial Neural Networks and Artificial Immune Systems
… the first time into SHM systems. Among them, the artificial neural network (ANN) and artificial immune systems (AIS) show great potential. In this thesis, features are extracted out of the acceleration data with the use of discrete wavelet transforms (DWT)s first. The DWT coefficients are used to …

Ethics for artificial agents
… in the design of autonomous software agents ("artificial agents"). Chapter 1 of this thesis considers how best to understand the central projects of this new subfield, and reconstructs a prominent theory of how artificial agents ought to be designed. This theory, which I call the "agential …

Exercise in artificial gravity
Artificial gravity provided by short radius centrifugation is considered a promising countermeasure to the deleterious physiological effects of microgravity during long-duration space flight. We investigated the feasibility of dual countermeasures to address space flight deconditioning of the …

Artificial perspectives: how science fiction grapples with the growing power of artificial intelligence
<p>As Artificial Intelligence grows in its capabilities, Science Fiction works attempt to make sense of our understanding of humanity in relation to our developing understanding of AI. The paper examines this relationship across three perspectives. The colonial perspective — examined through a …

Artificial Intelligence Affordances for Organisational Change: Perspectives from South African Artificial Intelligence Practitioners
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have been in use for several decades, but have seen substantial growth and commercialisation in the last decade, largely due to the available and growing ubiquitous access to more affordable computing resources. While some organisations have adopted these …

Design and Characterization of Biomimetic Artificial Hair Cells in an Artificial Cochlear Environment
… and characterization of a new biomimetic artificial inner hair cell sensor in an artificial cochlear environment. Designed to mimic the fluid flows around the inner hair cells of the human cochlea, the artificial cochlear environment produces controlled, linear sinusoidal fluid flows with …

Connectome-Constrained Artificial Neural Networks
… expenditure. Such features are desirable for artificial neural networks (ANNs), which are, unlike their organic counterparts, practically unbounded, and in many cases, initialized with random weights or arbitrary structural elements. In this dissertation, we consider an inductive base case for …

Art, Authorship, and Artificial Intelligence
… Texts, a curator discovers what I call Artificial Texts. I argue that the only theory of authorial intent that can explain how Artificial Texts acquire literary meaning is Postulated Author Hypothetical Intentionalism.

Behavior acquisition in artificial agents
… versatile, goal-oriented behavior, current artificial systems show shortcomings. Consider for instance modern 3D computer games. Despite their key role for more emersive game experience, surprisingly little effort was made towards new techniques for life-like behavior creation in artificial …

Molecular communication between artificial cells
… enzymatic reactions or gene expression. These artificial cells are able to establish communication pathways with natural cells and may be further developed to fight pathogens or cancer cells, for example. Despite these promising results, technological applications based on cellular mimics …

Artificial intelligence-enabled transaction prediction.
Predicting transaction behaviour and volume on e-commerce websites is difficult because transactional statistical methods don't do well with complex, unstructured data and cannot account for external factors like trends and promotions. Also, existing AI transactional predictive models suffer from …
