“Machines à comparer les idées” of Semen Korsakov: First step towards AI

Ch. 5. P. 71–86.

Shilov V., Silantiev S.

Paper is devoted to forgotten Russian scholar Semen Korsakov and describes his life and scientific activity. The particular attention is paid to Korsakov’s main achievement – invention of five “intellectual machines”. These machines could be considered as the very first attempt to design a mechanical device capable to perform such intellectual operations as data analysis, comparison, and selection.

Kryuchkova S. E., В кн.: Метафизика креативностиВып. 5.: М.: Перо, 2011. С. 33–45.

В работе рассматривается основные идеи работы «Ars magna» испанского схоласта, логика и математика Р.Луллия, который на платоновско-герметической основе разрабатывал искусство выведения с логической необходимостью из исходных понятий любых истин. Подробно рассматривается методика автоматического комбинирования понятий, составляющих из себя начало всякого знания. Показано, что «логическая машина» Луллия представляет собой попытку построения глобального, всеобщего концептуального символического механизма, ...
