Typical application or examples of artificial imagination: it is actively developed for an interactive search

-What is the interactive search? The interactive search has developed in the mid-1990s, accompany by the web development and optimization of search engines. After the first query and feedback from the users, the databases are reorganized to improve the searching results.

-How can the artificial imagination contribute the interactive search? The artificial imagination allows us to synthesize the images and to develop a new image, whether it is in the database or not in real world. For example, the computer shows the results that are based on the answer from the initial query. The user would select several relevant images, and then the technology analysis these selections and reorganized the ranks images to fit the query. In this process, artificial imagination is used to synthesize the selected images and to improve the searching result with additionally relevant- synthesized images. This technique is based on the several algorithms, including the Rocchio algorithm and the evolutionary algorithm. Rocchio algorithm [1], locating a query point nearby relevant examples and far away from irrelevant examples, is simple and well works in a small system where the databases are arranged by certain rank. The evolutionary synthesis that is composed of two steps: a standard algorithm and an enhancement of the standard algorithm [2,3]. Through the feedback from the user, there would be additional synthesize images to be suitable what the user is looking for.

An important initiative in the field has been the founding of Vicarious, Silicon Valley Startup leading by D. Scott Phoenix and Dileep George, a well know neuroscience researcher. For them the goal is to build an AI system that can learn faster than others and, overall, capable to “being able to deduce something from very few examples”. For that proposal, a fund of $ 40 million USD has been collected among people like, Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder or venture capitalist Peter Thie[1].

Another important project is led by Hiroharu Kato and Tatsuya Harada at the University of Tokyo in Japan who have developed a computer capable to translate a description of an objet into an image, which could be the one easy way to define what imagination is. Their idea is based in the concept of image as a series of pixel divided into short sequences that correspond to a specific part of an image. The scientists have called this sequences “visual words” and those can be interpreted by the machine using statistical distribution to read an create an image of an object that in fact the machine doesn´t knows how it look like[2].
