- Parts 5 and 6 of the FAQ are now under heavy construction. The FTP & WWW
- resources have been combined, since both are browser accessible these
- days. We're also pruning the entries to sites that include
- information other than whatever project is being done at that
- University, etc.
-
- Part 5 (WWW & FTP Resources):
- [5-0] Research Index (nee Citeseer)
- [5-1] Weblogs, repositories, web directories and communities not
- aimed primarily at researchers
- [5-2] Repositories and web directories aimed primarily at researchers

- Subject: [5-0] Research Index (nee Citeceer)
-
- http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/cs
-
- "ResearchIndex is a scientific literature digital library that aims to
- improve the dissemination and feedback of scientific literature, and
- to provide improvements in functionality, usability, availability,
- cost, comprehensiveness, efficiency, and timeliness.
-
- Rather than creating just another digital library, ResearchIndex
- provides algorithms, techniques, and software that can be used in
- other digital libraries. ResearchIndex indexes Postscript and PDF
- research articles on the Web..."
-
- http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/cs
-
- Research index (though most people still call it citeseer) is the
- currently best way to find published papers AND TRACK CITATIONS. It
- is so cool, it's in the FAQ twice.
-
- UPDATE 4/1/04: ResearchIndex has been sick, and updates stopped. It
- has been moved to: http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/cis where hopefully it
- will continue.

- Presented by AAAI, AI Topics is a "...web site provided ... for
- students, teachers, journalists, and everyone who would like to
- learn more about what artificial intelligence is, and what AI
- scientists do.
-
- [Their] goal is to offer a limited number of authoritative,
- non-technical resources that [they] have organized and annotated
- to provide you with meaningful access to basic information about
- the AI universe. Each of the AI Topics (see the navigation buttons
- to the left) will lead you to online and in-print sources of
- information.
-
- There has been an explosion in the number of Websites that catalog
- locations of AI information in a Yahoo-style directory. Although they
- often duplicate functionality, in the interest of fairness, I will list all
- the ones I know about here.
-
- AboutAI.com:
- http://www.aboutai.net/
- It is a second generation portal and a successor to the former
- ai.about.com. aboutAI.Net contains dozens of AI-related essays and
- thousands of Web links. It will be focused on the technical side,
- describing the implementation of a wide range of AI
- techniques. Site actively uses data mining techniques for
- collaboration filtering, information retrieval, automatic
- classification of retrieved information, etc.
-
- Kurzweilai.Net:
- http://www.kurzweilai.net
- An entertaining mix of flashy demos and interesting essays on AI,
- many by important poeple in the field. Much philosophical
- discussion, less hard-core technical discussion.
-
- MAKHFI
-
- A site dedicated to Neural Networks, including some open source
- tools that they developed.
-
- http://www.makhfi.com
-
- The site is still not complete, but we are fully committed to make
- it "the" resource site for ANN.
-
- Neuron AI Directory
- http://www.neuron.co.uk
-
- Neural Network Information in Polish:
- http://www.neuron.of.pl
-
- Generation 5:
- http://www.generation5.org
-
- "Generation5 is aimed at presenting a website that will educate the
- viewer on Artificial Intelligence -- whatever the level of
- expertise. We have essays on the applications and history of AI for
- those unfamiliar, to essays on programming and philosophy, all the way
- to full blown mathematically-orientated essays on genetic algorithms
- and neural networks. Generation5 prides itself also in its interviews
- sections with exclusive interviews from top AI scientists like Marvin
- Minsky, Craig Reynolds, Roger Schank, Andre LaMothe and many
- others. Generation5 also has a comprehensive collection of original
- programs, all with source included. Demonstration programs like image
- recognizors, number recognizors, cellular automata creators, NLP
- demonstrator and more. All programs have an accompanying essay
- describing the workings of the programs.
-
- The aim of Generation5 is not only to educate the viewer, but to allow
- the viewer to contribute to further other people's knowledge. They can
- do this through the discussion boards, voting systems, and soon
- through AI Solutions (a scheme to submit code - with a accompanying
- monthly competition)."
-
-
- Yahoo Clubs:
- Yahoo maintains a number of AI clubs. There is the general
- AI Group, an online community that discusses AI (a resource
- for beginners). Their website is:

- ACT-R Faq:
-
- http://acs.ist.psu.edu/act-r-faq/
- "ACT-R is a proposed unified theory of cognition realised as a
- production system. It is a unified theory of cognition, in the
- spirit proposed by Newell (1990, Unified theories of cognition,
- Harvard, Cambridge, MA), in that it is designed to predict human
- behavior by processing information and generating intelligent
- behavior itself."
-
-
-
- Soar Faq:
-
- http://acs.ist.psu.edu/soar-faq/soar-faq.html
- "Soar is used by AI researchers to construct integrated intelligent
- agents and by cognitive scientist for cognitive modeling. It can
- basically be considered in three different ways:
- 1. A theory of cognition. As such it provides the principles behind
- the implemented Soar system.
- 2. A set of principles and constraints on (cognitive)
- processing. Thus, it provides a (cognitive) architectural
- framework, within which you can construct cognitive models. In this
- view it can be considered as an integrated architecture for
- knowledge-based problem solving, learning and interacting with
- external environments.
- 3. An AI programming language."

- provide only an online catalog of technical reports, while the rest
- make the actual reports available online. The email address listed is
- that of the appropriate person to contact with questions about
- ordering technical reports.
-
- The main source of tech reports is now from Networked Computer Science
- Technical Reference Library or NCSTRL (pronounced "ancestral").
- It's home page is: http://www.ncstrl.org/
- If that is a problem, you can go directly to:
- http://cs-tr.cs.cornell.edu/

- first you'll have to unzip the files on a DOS machine). The list
- includes inflected forms of the words, such as plural nouns and the
- -s, -ed, and -ing forms of verbs; thus the number of lexical stems in
- the list is considerably smaller than the total number of word forms.
