Summary
Throughout the 1980s, while ai was enjoying increased popularity and commercial successes and then suffering funding cuts and a wintry season, its basic research workers produced a significant number of powerful new technical tools and sharpened others. New results unfolded in all of its subfields, including reasoning and representation, machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. This work, technically and mathematically deeper than before and strengthened by new connections with statistics and control engineering, helped vitiate some of the criticisms hurled at earlier AI systems and greatly enhanced AI's abilities.
