Correct Answer - Option 2 : John McCarthy
The correct answer is John McCarthy.
-
John McCarthy has created LISP, the Programming Language for Artificial Intelligence.
- LISP, an acronym for list processing, is a programming language that was designed for easy manipulation of data strings.
- Developed in 1959 by John McCarthy, it is a commonly used language for artificial intelligence (AI) programming.
- It is one of the oldest programming languages still in relatively wide use.
- LISP can build any abstraction at all if you can define syntax and semantics for it.
- LISP is good because it has a very minimal, simple, regular syntax.
- LISP was founded on the mathematical theory of recursive functions (in which a function appears in its own definition).
- Hence, option 2 is correct.
- Lisp is used for AI because it supports the implementation of software that computes with symbols very well.
-
Symbols, symbolic expressions and computing with those is at the core of Lisp.
- CYC, one of the largest software systems written.
- Representation and reasoning in the domain of human common sense knowledge.
- Python is the ideal coding language used for machine learning, NLP, and neural network connections.
- Python can be used even if you are new to AI development since it is flexible and comes with pre-existing libraries like Pandas, SciPy, and nltk.
- Python language is lauded for its simple syntax and minimal codes.
