What is ''Artificial Intelligence''?

John McCarthy (who coined the term, as well as inventing [Lisp] and other
accomplishments) attempts to answer this question at [http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/whatisai/whatisai.html].

Another introductory document is "The Outsider's Guide to Artificial Intelligence" [http://www.robotwisdom.com/ai/].

This page gives pointers to useful general resources for Tcl programmers
interested in Artificial Intelligence (or [AI]), while the [Category AI]
can be used to find pages on this wiki related to the subject.

'''Topics'''

A rough collection of topics more-or-less relevant to AI:

   * [Decision Trees]
   * [Neural Networks] and [Hopfield Networks]
   * [Cellular Automata] and [Artificial Life]
   * [Genetic Algorithms] and [Genetic Programming]
   * [State Space Searching in Tcl], [Heuristic Searches], [Searching A Star in Space]
   * [Playing Predicate Logic] and [Unification]
   * [Expert System]s and [Reasoning with rules]
   * [Logic Programming] and [Playing Prolog]
   * [Functional Programming] and [Playing Lisp]/[Scheme]
   * [Frames], [Semantic Networks] and [Object Oriented] Programming
   * [Bayesian Networks]
   * [Fuzzy Logic]
   * [Intelligent Agents]

'''Applications and Software'''

Some applications of AI on this wiki include:

   * [Solving cryptarithms]
   * [Solving cryptograms]
   * [Speech Recognition]
   * [NLP for a Knowledge Database]
   * [Handwriting Word Recognizer]

AI toolkits using Tcl include:

   * [D'Agents (formerly Agent Tcl)]
   * [Soar]


'''Websites'''

   * AAAI's AI Topics page: http://www.aaai.org/AITopics/
   * The CMU AI Repository: http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/ai-repository/ai/html/air.html
   * A comprehensive directory of "AI on the Web" by the authors of [BOOK Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach]: http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/ai.html
   * An AI Wiki: http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/ailab/aiwiki/aiw.cgi

'''Books'''

Books can be found by cross-referencing [Category AI] and [Category Book] (manually, alas). Probably the best undergraduate-level textbook is [BOOK Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach] by Russell/Norvig.
