Links and Resources


Yahoo! -- AI links The Science:Computer Science:Artificial Intelligence section of Yahoo!
Loebner Prize Home Page The homepage of the Loebner Prize, an award given annually to the computer program which qualifies best in the Turing test. It also contains a link to the Alan Turing Scrapbook which contains very interesting information about Turing's life and his ideas.
The Outsider's Guide to AI Pages on Artificial Intelligence by Jorn Barger. Mr. Barger is a sort of political activist who believes that humans can find the correct and rational solution to society's problems through the use of an AI technique called "story representation." This is his (somewhat opinionated) tutorial of Artificial Intelligence in general. It is part of a greater work called The Robot Wisdom Pages in which he fully states and presents his political views and ideology.
CMU Artificial Intelligence Repository The Artificial Intelligence repository at Carnegie Mellon University. Contains slightly upper-level information. Lots of information about symbolic languages such as LISP.
The Genetic Programming Notebook This site contains more in-depth information on genetic programming, as described in the Genetic Algorithms section of this project.
The Fractal Music Project A homepage about creating music through fractal art (e.g., the use of recursive mathematical functions).
Bruce L Jacob: Composing with Genetic Algorithms A very interesting use of genetic algorithms in the field of music composition. The basics of this project were described in the "Genetic Algorithms" section of this project, and this site contains more in-depth information.
PSYCHE This is a journal on the research of consciousness. It contains information about the metaphysical and psychological aspects of consciousness, epistemology, and such topics.
The Live Alife Page This page contains several examples of artificial life which you can experiment with on-line (similar to the concept of the Lifey applet on this website). You can toy with a-life programs like Morphs, Planet Wa-Tor, SortNet, Swarm (based on a more well-known game called Boids), Demons, LIFE (similar to the Lifey applet), CA, Forest Fire, and Bots.
The Tierra Homepage The Tierra homepage. Tierra is a kind of artificial life software described in the Artificial Life section of this project. Here you can download the source code to Tierra, and if you have a C compiler for DOS, UNIX, Mac, VMS, or Amiga you can compile and run the program! (Tom Ray, the creator of Tierra, expressly forbids executables of Tierra from being publicly distributed, thus to run it one must get the source and compile it)
