我最近对日本的“第五代计算机”（Fifth Generation）概念挺着迷的，好奇当时到底在研究些什么东西、实际成果如何等等。我也在想，我们是否能把它和当前的 AI 热潮联系起来。一个有趣的……
I've been intrigued lately by the notion of Japan's "Fifth Generation", and wonder what was the nature of the research being done, its actual results, etc. I'm also wondering if there are possible links that we could try to establish with the current AI boom. One interesting…

I gotta side with anigbrowl - the Wikipedia page[1] on the Fifth Generation Project is a much better read than this article. I'd encourage anyone interested in this topic to give it a look. For even more detail, consult the Feigenbaum & McCorduck book[2] mentioned by AlbertCory.…
……纯粹就是为了套政府的钱。埃德·费根鲍姆（Ed Feigenbaum）在1980年代就写过这种东西。他当时呼吁建立一个由他领导的国家级 AI 实验室，来抵御来自日本的威胁。参考他的书《第五代》（The Fifth Generation）[1]。这全是为了搞“专家系统”（expert systems），结果根本没起多大作用，还导致了“AI 寒冬”（AI Winter）。而这一次，我们不需要搞那套，因为机器学习（machine learning）已经有了能变现的应用。寻找应用……
…all about getting Government money. Ed Feigenbaum was writing stuff like that in the 1980s. He was calling for a national AI lab, headed by him, to fight off the threat from Japan. See his book, "The Fifth Generation".[1] This was all for "expert systems", which didn't do much and led to the "AI Winter". This time around, we don't need that, because machine learning already has profitable applications. Finding applications…
……与人工智能展望》（1979），一本记录过去实现思维机械化尝试的编年史。我第一次知道她的名字，是读了她和埃德·费根鲍姆（Ed Feigenbaum）合著的一本书——《第五代：人工智能与日本对世界的计算机挑战》（The Fifth Generation: Artificial Intelligence and Japan's Computer Challenge to the World）[1]。后来过了一阵子我才意识到，我书架上吃灰待读的另一本书居然也是她写的。那就是……

…finished a MSCS in 1985. Ed Feigenbaum was still influential then, but it was getting embarrassing. He'd been claiming that expert systems would yield strong AI Real Soon Now.

我得站 anigbrowl 这边——维基百科上关于“第五代计算机项目”的词条[1]比这篇文章强太多了。我建议任何对这个话题感兴趣的人都去瞧瞧。想了解更多细节的话，可以去查 AlbertCory 提到的费根鲍姆和麦考达克合著的那本书[2]……

……1985年拿到了计算机科学硕士（MSCS）。埃德·费根鲍姆在那时依然很有影响力，但场面已经开始变得尴尬了。他一直在吹嘘专家系统“马上就要”（Real Soon Now）带来强 AI（strong AI）。他写了本叫《第五代》（The Fifth Generation）的书[1]，号召大家在 AI 领域打一场胜仗。对手是日本，日本当时投入重金研发运行 Prolog 的“第五代计算机”。（还有人记得 Prolog 吗？Turbo……
