LANGUAGE MEANS FOR WRITTEN TEXT DESIGN

WRITTEN SCIENTIFIC TEXT:

STRUCTURE AND LANGUAGE DESIGN

STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS OF SCIENTIFIC WRITTEN TEXT AND THEIR LANGUAGE DESIGN

1. Read the text of article 1, as well as the abstract (see reference 1), abstract and review (see references 2. 3, 4) compiled on its basis. Analyze the composition of the text of the abstract, abstract and review, pay attention to the words and phrases highlighted in them, which serve to organize these types of texts.

Artificial intelligence. The phenomenon of thinking

The machines have already learned, and they do it very soundly, to compose poetry, compose music, draw pictures. It may seem to someone that this is an undoubted sign of their reasonableness. After all, if a computer has access to creativity, which has always been considered a property of high intelligence, then is it fair to deny it the mind? Maybe ingrained prejudices prevent us from taking a broader view of the world?

Yet most of us would hardly agree to consider a computer that draws and composes poetry as a thinking computer. What, then, should be called thinking? How to distinguish the thinking from the non-thinking?

It is difficult for a person far from science to imagine how much modern cybernetic devices can do. It is worth at least mentioning the so-called "expert systems", which, based on the information available in their memory (besides, they also learn from their own experience) analyze the patient's condition, the mode technological process, the alignment of forces on the battlefield and similar multifactorial phenomena and give advice on how to act in a particular case. At the same time, the computer not only reports its decision, but also explains why it should be so.

Compared with electronic memory, the issuance of archival references and mathematical calculations, which most people today associate with the image of a computer, this is a qualitatively new stage of intellectual activity, when new knowledge is developed on the basis of existing knowledge. It is not being formed from one form into another, but it is being worked out. Until now, this has always been considered an indisputable privilege of the human brain. It is not surprising that the one who first encounters such systems often simply does not believe that he is dealing with an "iron computer", and not with a human operator hiding somewhere.

And the ability of a computer to perform mathematical calculations, to which we are now accustomed, was quite recently regarded as one of the highest levels of a person's spiritual activity. Complex numbers, with which almost any computer can easily operate today, even some caranal calculators, G. Leibniz, himself an outstanding mathematician, called "spiritual amphibians", an amazing "spawn of the spirit of God", and the writer V. Odoevsky in his Russian speech" wrote about our ability to calculate as some kind of incomprehensible, almost mystical property: With every mathematical process, we feel how some other, alien, which works, thinks, calculates, and yet our own the being, as it were, ceases to act, without taking any part in this process, as in an outside matter, it eats its own food, namely the connection that should exist between it and this process - and we do not find this connection.

One can imagine how amazed Odoevsky would have been when he recognized the computational abilities of our computers! And yet I do not consider them thinking. What do they lack? Any computer, no matter how amazing its "ability" to learn, works on the basis of a program set for it in advance and incoming external data. True, we humans also implement certain programs of actions, especially in the first months of life, when our behavior is almost entirely determined by the netic program embedded in us. However, the fundamental difference in m is that a person is capable of being motivated, i.e. depending on certain conditions, change the program and does it to that between the old and new programs there is no continuous ogic bridge. How this happens is also not yet clear.

there are many disputes and different points of view, but this is another question, it is important that modern computers do not have this property. Now, if it happened that some kind of computer, solving, say, problems in electromagnetism and quantum mechanics, would combine these two sections of science and derive the equations of quantum electrodynamics, and then with their help would predict new phenomena in this previously unknown area , then, probably, we would be entitled to call her thinking. And first of all, because she herself, without any program prompting, decided to do quality work new challenge. The word "decided" just means that she thinks.

Any intellectual task is a search for a way to achieve the goal, otherwise it will not be a solution to the problem, but simply an action according to precise instructions, not much different from the operation of an automatic machine. When we say that a student solves a problem, this means, first of all, that he must figure out what formula to take for this, what numbers to substitute into it. However, if he, looking into his neighbor's notebook, substitutes the numbers indicated there into the formula written on the board, this is no longer a solution, but a mechanical repetition. This is how modern computers behave. Strictly speaking, they do not solve any problems, and the expression “computer solves” that we often use has a conventional meaning ... She, like a student who has started the lessons, does everything according to a cheat sheet, not understanding its meaning and not being able to retreat even a hair’s breadth from what what they tell her. Therefore, we do not consider it reasonable.

The ability to set a task and self-program to solve it - this is precisely the main thing that characterizes the phenomenon of thinking.

True, some will probably immediately object: a stupid fish in an aquarium and even a primitive amoeba, overcoming obstacles in pursuit of prey, also set themselves tasks that change depending on specific conditions, so they also think?

Why not? There may be primitive forms of thinking, because to explain the behavior of animals in all their diversity life situations by instinct alone is a hypothesis. And it would be very strange if nature went only along this hard path, completely not using the opportunity to adapt to the environment "on the go."

By the way, animals and birds have such a "higher property" of thinking as the ability to generalize. For example, they recognize food in the most varied concrete forms, so to speak, food in general. The dog recognizes his brother in a huge dog and a tiny Japanese dog that fits in the palm of your hand. Pigeons slowly walking along the sidewalk do not pay attention to people, but they immediately take off, as soon as a cat appears nearby - large or small, black or white. The reader will find even more convincing examples.

Our ordinary understanding of the rational is too humanized, and, just as in the last century the very idea of ​​a succession between man and ape seemed ridiculous to many, today many of us are confused by the idea of ​​the possibility of non-human intelligence. In particular, without noticing it ourselves, we often associate the idea of ​​thinking with the ability to be aware of our own "I", and this prevents us from taking a broader look at the phenomenon of thinking. True, the connection between thinking and feeling "I" seems to really exist. It can be thought that in the conditions of a whimsically changing external environment, a complex system will be stable only if it has the ability to sense its state, and this, in fact, is the essence of our "I". The analysis shows that such a feeling is already necessary for many automatic robots. After all, a robot, and in general any complex self-learning machine that actively communicates with a person, must inform him about the state of his memory, about what is clear and what is not and why. And for this, the automaton must feel and be able to express its state. This is also necessary for the robot in order to notice problems in its "organism" in time. A non-self-aware robot is unlikely to survive for long in a complex, rapidly changing environment that affects it. Of course, the "I" of the robot is very different from our self-awareness. But even here there should not be a sharp edge.

Surprising as it may seem, but much of what is considered to be inherently human has a continuation on the lower floors of nature ...

Article by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Head of Department of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna Barashenkov V.S. "Artificial Mind. The Phenomenon of Thinking", published in the journal "Man" 1991, No. 1, is devoted to the problem of creating an artificial mind.

The article talks about the wide possibilities of modern cybernetic devices, and also names the factors that characterize the phenomenon of thinking, without taking into account which it is impossible to talk about artificial intelligence.

The article titled "Artificial Mind. The Phenomenon of Thinking" was written by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences B.C. Barashenkov and published in the magazine "Man" No. 1 for 1991.

This article deals with the problem of artificial intelligence.

In the beginning, the author notes that modern cybernetic devices perform operations that until recently were considered the privilege of the human brain. Using the example of "expert systems", he explains the actions of such machines and argues that this is a qualitatively new stage of intellectual activity, when, on the basis of the available information, new knowledge is developed - precisely, it is developed, the scientist emphasizes. However, the author cannot call them thinking.

The author writes that any computer acts according to instructions, works on the basis of a program prepared in advance for it, which it is not able to change motivatedly. Any intellectual task, the author emphasizes, is a search for a way to achieve the goal. The scientist leads us to the idea that the phenomenon of thinking is characterized, most importantly, by the ability to set a task and self-program for its solution, as well as the ability to generalize.

At the end of the article, the author analyzes the question of the connection between thinking and the feeling of "I" and argues that in a complex, rapidly changing environment, only an automaton that is aware of itself, capable of expressing its state, can exist. A non-self-aware robot has no future.


Thus, we can come to the conclusion that modern computers that do not yet have the listed characteristics cannot be called thinking, which means that it is still impossible to talk about artificial intelligence.

Review

The topic of the article by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences V. Barashenkov is one of the most relevant in the era of scientific and technological revolution: both scientists and people far from science are concerned about the possibility of the existence of non-human intelligence.

Using interesting examples and illustrations, the scientist talks about new cybernetic devices that can compose poetry, music, create art canvases, analyze human diseases, set the mode of technological processes, and much more, which was recently considered an intellectual, spiritual activity only of a person.

In this regard, the question of the phenomenon of thinking, of what characterizes it, is rightfully brought to the fore, how the idea of ​​thinking is connected with the ability to realize one's own "I". The thesis that the main thing that characterizes the phenomenon of thinking is the ability to set a task and self-program to solve it, as well as the ability to generalize, sounds convincing.

Apparently, not everything is indisputable in the author's reasoning, and his point of view, of course, is not new and by no means sensational, which he himself admits, but the core, the key to the problem, in our opinion, was found to be true. The whole point, of course, is not in the incomprehensible abilities of a super-perfect computer, but in the motivation of actions, and the thinking of a machine is, first of all, a consequence of the scale and depth of the human mind.

Review

Article by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences B.C. Barashenkova is dedicated to modern cybernetic devices, their enormous capabilities today and fantastic prospects for the future.

The paper tells about expert cybernetic systems that analyze the patient's condition, the mode of the technological process, and similar phenomena and give advice on what to do in a particular case. Of particular interest is the description of self-learning systems, which we only recently could read about in science fiction. These machines, like a person, become experts in their field, acquiring day by day own experience and learning from it.

And yet one cannot but agree with the scientist that machines are still far from real thinking - the ability to independently set tasks.

6. Read the continuation of article B.C. Barashenkov. Using references 1-6 and tables, make an annotation, abstract and review to it.

On the verge of a thought

Yes, a modern computer behaves like a schoolboy, stupidly, using a cheat sheet, repeating a solution already found by someone. But this is not always the case. Under certain conditions, machines can show some independence and go beyond cheat sheets. They have already been taught this. This is how expert cybernetic systems, which were mentioned above, behave. Each of them contains in its memory a "bank of knowledge" collected from human experts (hence the name of these systems). For example, in a system related to the diagnosis of diseases and the choice of appropriate drugs, this is the knowledge of experienced medical practitioners. The memory of the expert system, which helps in the repair of complex electronic devices, accumulates the knowledge of qualified technicians and engineers who have worked in this field for a long time. And so on - each expert system has a certain "formation", written in the form of hundreds and thousands of rules-instructions like "if this and that takes place, then it follows ...".

For example, in the memory of a computer that helps repair televisions, there may be such an instruction: “If the image is pale, and transistors No. 1, 17, 46 are in good condition, then check the contact at point 119. that contact 119 sometimes fails.In an expert system diagnosing diseases, there may be a rule: "If it hurts to move the eyes and the toes get cold, perform analysis 17. "There is no such recommendation in any medical reference book, but the practitioner who proposed it noted, that in this locality this symptom sometimes accompanies disease X, and in order to be conclusively convinced of this, the indicated additional analysis should be carried out.

The data bank of an expert system can also contain formulas, tables, images - in general, all the information that helps to solve the problems for which it is oriented. Of course, all knowledge is encoded, translated into the language of unified symbols and relationships.

The simplest expert system finds the answer to the question posed to it by iterating over its bank. For example, symptoms of a disease are introduced into her, and she, perhaps after requesting some additional information, by comparing the information received by her with the data stored in her memory, will highlight one or more of the most likely diseases. In essence, this is just a high-speed electronic directory, where the search for an answer is similar to the sequential movement from the trunk of a "tree" to branching "branches" and further to thin "twigs". More advanced systems use additional techniques that limit the search and direct it to the most promising branches. Sometimes these are the same rules like "if ... then ...", other times - a preliminary analysis of the situation by considering some simple limiting cases: as a thinking person often does, or some other auxiliary techniques suggested by experts.

Each individual rule embedded in an expert system can be very simple, but together they allow you to unravel the most complex situations. At the same time, the answer of the computer often turns out to be better than the answers given by the interviewed specialists, whose experience is encoded in its memory. As they say, one mind is good, but several are better!

Since the computer remembers which way the answer was received, it can print on paper or display on the display screen an explanation of its decision. In responsible cases, it helps specialists to come to a final conclusion. There are already hundreds of such systems operating in the world today.

The next step is self-learning expert systems. They are able to amend their data banks and the lists of techniques and rules used to process them. Possessing relatively little initial information, they, like a person, are able to adapt to various areas of knowledge. Each such system is similar to a student who, bruising and bumping himself and learning along the way the advice of an experienced mentor, quickly becomes an expert in his field.

The answers of a self-learning system cannot be predicted in advance, even if the questions asked to it are exactly the same as those that were asked to it last time. They depend on her experience and today may be somewhat different from yesterday. Self-learning expert systems develop new knowledge that cannot be purely logically derived from the original data bank. Until recently, such systems belonged to the realm of science fiction.

And yet, they are still far from real thinking, as we defined it above, the ability to independently set tasks. Creation works artificial intelligence reminiscent of a journey to the horizon: each milestone reached opens up new horizons, and what yesterday was considered a sign of "indisputable intellectuality" today belongs to the category of "purely machine-made". And this path of modeling the abilities of our brain, apparently, will be quite long.

Until recently, the hypothesis of thinking machines was taken seriously by few people, and philosophical books and thick scientific journals proved the fundamental impossibility of such "monsters". Today, the majority of physicists and mathematicians - those who more often than others have to deal with computers - do not doubt the fundamental possibility of simulating any aspects of our mental activity using cybernetic devices. However, on the whole, there is still no consensus among scientists on this issue even today, and if we were to vote "for" and "against" the idea of ​​thinking machines, then the camp of doubters would probably also be very numerous. Fortunately, scientific disputes are not decided by voting. The opinion of a single talented scientist can be worth hundreds of other votes. And the most convincing "voice" is the rapid progress in the laboratories involved in the practical creation of artificial intelligence.

In the Middle Ages, following the example of knightly tournaments, scientists liked to arrange public disputes. One of the problems around which the spears of logical eloquence broke was the question of how many stones a pile begins with - from three, from five, or maybe from nine or from a hundred? Will the scientists of the future not find our disputes about the limits from which the intellectual process can be considered "real thinking" something similar to these disputes? ..

9. Based on a typical plan for writing reviews (see Help 5) and Table. 2 (VIII p.) and 5, write a review of an article in your specialty.

FORMING QUOTATIONS

10. Using references 8 and 9, name the basic rules for quoting.

eleven*. In these fragments, include quotations as independent sentences.

1. The problem of what is culture and what is civilization should be solved only from the point of view of the interaction of spirit and matter, because culture is a phenomenon of the spirit, acting according to the laws of its energy.

“Many people consider it quite possible to replace the word “culture” with civilization. At the same time, it is completely overlooked that the Latin root “cult” itself has a very deep spiritual meaning, while “civilization” at its root has a civil, social structure of life” (N.K. Roerich).

2. Roerich draws our attention to the fact that in the interaction of culture and civilization, the priority should belong to Culture, which will save civilization from many distortions inherent in it.

"... The most important thing for us will be the spirit of creativity, then comes health and only in third place is wealth" (N.K. Roerich).

12*. Use a quote after a colon. What letter (lowercase or uppercase) should the quote begin with? Why?

1. One of the largest and deepest Russian philosophers N.A. Berdyaev defined culture as follows...

"Culture is associated with the cult of ancestors, with legends and traditions. It is full of sacred symbols, it contains knowledge and similarities of other spiritual reality. Any culture (even material culture) there is a culture of the spirit, every culture has a spiritual basis - it is a product creative work spirit over the natural elements" (N.A. Berdyaev).

2. Machine-made, technogenic civilization replaces culture with an entertainment industry, on the basis of which "mass culture" arises, designed to serve the matter of society, and by no means nourish its spirit. Berdyaev bitterly writes...

"... old Europe betrayed its past, renounced it. The non-religious petty-bourgeois civilization defeated the old sacred culture in it" (N.A. Berdyaev).

3. Bourgeois revolutions, which were of a pragmatic and materialistic nature, strengthened and developed the gap that had formed in the integral body of the "culture-civilization" phenomenon. The era of alienation of culture from civilization began. Matter, as never before, seized the dominant positions, aggressively and unceremoniously pressed the spirit and deprived the society of people of the collective energy it needed ...

"... spiritual energy dries up in civilization, the spirit - the source of culture - is extinguished. Then domination over human souls begins not of natural forces, but of the magical realm of mechanicalness and mechanicalness, which replaces true being" (N.A. Berdyaev).

1. It would seem that only socially significant facts should be included in a scientific biography, but not everyday “trifles”. However, won't such an approach result in a dead schema of the image? And the very concept of a "small" fact is indefinite. Plutarch said...

"Often some insignificant act ... better reveals the character of a person than battles in which tens of thousands die, the leadership of huge armies and the siege of cities" (Plutarch).


2. There are also known pessimistic ("finalist") concepts of the future fate of our civilization. For example, the Russian scientist JI. Leskov writes...

"Having experienced a rapid rise, space civilizations inevitably perish: either losing their taste for life in the bushes of a "consumer paradise", or suffocating in technological waste, or, finally, burning out in the fire of nuclear missile disasters" (L.V. Leskov).

14*. Read the fragments in which the quotations are formatted incorrectly. Find and fix bugs.

1. The secrecy of the individual would be violated, and with it the freedom of self-determination of the individual would be violated. Meanwhile, “Everything spiritual and great arises in life - in a mysterious way from itself and through itself ... This is how love ignites; this is how a person prays; this is how art is created; how science is built; this is how spiritual crises are overcome; this is how a person’s spiritual character strengthens This is how heroic deeds are done. (In the source: "Everything spiritual ...".)

2. The emphasis on love is considered in this regard as a factor in the establishment of totalitarianism and authoritarianism. This is exactly how the author argues, who, in particular, writes: “To love a person means to want to make him happy. However, of all political ideals, those that inspire the desire to make a person happy are perhaps the most dangerous.” (In the source: "To love a person...".)

3. Vl. Solovyov, defining the dignity of the individual, writes that: "No person under any conditions and for any reason can be considered as only a means ... - he cannot be only a means or tool either for the good of another person, or for the good of the whole class, nor, finally, for the so-called common good. (In the source: "No man...".)

REFERENCE AND BIBLIOGRAPHIC APPARATUS OF A SCIENTIFIC WORK

15. Using references 10-13, say how a bibliographic description and a bibliographic reference are drawn up. 16*. Using references 12-13, make a bibliographic description of these works.

Damage to good mood

After completing my return home from work, I did some work of taking off my hat, raincoat, boots, changing into pajamas and slippers, and sitting down with a newspaper in a chair. The wife during this period of time implemented a series of activities aimed at peeling potatoes, boiling meat, sweeping the floor and washing dishes.

After some time, she began to loudly raise the question of the inadmissibility of my non-participation in the events named by her. To this, a categorical statement was made on my part about the unwillingness to hear claims on this issue in view of the exercise by me at the moment, after the end of the working day, of my legal right to a well-deserved rest.

However, my wife did not draw the appropriate conclusions from my words and did not stop her irresponsible statements, in which, in particular, she reflected such a moment as my lack of a number of positive qualities, such as: conscience, decency, shame, etc., and how during its
performance, and after it was engaged in assigning me the names of various animals that are in the personal use of workers and collective farmers.

After giving mutual assurances on the non-recurrence of such phenomena, we began to eat dinner, which already had a lower temperature as a result of cooling and lost its taste.

This is how we sometimes still allow damage to a good mood, as well as appetite.
