Introduction:

Certain questions and topics come up frequently in the various network
discussion groups devoted to and related to Artificial Intelligence
(AI).  This file/article is an attempt to gather these questions and
their answers into a convenient reference for AI researchers. It is
posted on a monthly basis. The hope is that this will cut down on the
user time and network bandwidth used to post, read and respond to the
same questions over and over, as well as providing education by
answering questions some readers may not even have thought to ask.

The latest version of this file is available via anonymous FTP from CMU:

   To obtain the file from CMU, connect by anonymous ftp to any CMU CS
   machine (e.g., ftp.cs.cmu.edu [128.2.206.173]), using username
   "anonymous" and password "name@host". The files ai-faq-1.text,
   ai-faq-2.text and ai-faq-3.text are located in the directory
       /afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/mkant/Public/AI/
   [Note: You must cd to this directory in one atomic operation, as
   some of the superior directories on the path are protected from
   access by anonymous ftp.] If your site runs the Andrew File System,
   you can just cp the file directly without bothering with FTP.

Subject: [1-0] What is the purpose of this newsgroup?

The newsgroup comp.ai exists for general discussion of topics related
to Artificial Intelligence. For example, possible topics can
include (but are not necessarily limited to):
   announcements of AI books and products
   discussion of AI programs and tools
   questions about AI techniques
   problems implementing an AI technique
Postings should be of general interest to the AI community. See also
question [1-2].

We've tried to minimize the overlap with the FAQ postings to the
comp.lang.lisp, comp.lang.prolog and comp.ai.neural-nets newsgroups,
so if you don't find what you're looking for here, we suggest you try
the FAQs for those newsgroups. These FAQs should be available by
anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu (18.172.1.27) in subdirectories of
/pub/usenet/ or by sending a mail message to [e-mail]
with subject "help".

The Lisp FAQ is also available by anonymous ftp from the same ftp
location as the AI FAQ and from ftp.think.com:/public/think/lisp/.

Information about Prolog may be obtained from two sources: The Prolog
FAQ, which is posted twice a month to the newsgroup comp.lang.prolog
by Jamie Andrews <[e-mail]>, and the Prolog Resource Guide,
which is posted to the newsgroup comp.lang.prolog once a month, and is
available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.cmu.edu [128.2.206.173] as the
file /afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/mkant/Public/AI/prolog-resource-guide.txt.

Subject: [1-2]  AI-related Newsgroups and Mailing Lists

To be added or deleted to any of the following lists, send mail to the
-request version of the list except where otherwise noted. This sends
mail to the list maintainer, instead of annoying the membership of the
entire mailing list. To subscribe to one of the BITNET listserv
forums, send mail there which contains a line of the form
    SUB <forum-name> <your-full-name>
as the first and only line in the body of the message.

For Lisp-related mailing lists, see part 4 of the FAQ for the
newsgroup comp.lang.lisp.

Intelligent systems for Economics digest (IE-digest):
   [e-mail]

   The IE-digest aims to act as a forum to exchange ideas on using
   `intelligent' techniques to model economic and financial systems.
   Calls for papers, paper announcements and queries are welcome.

   Techniques which were originally developed to model psychological and
   biological processes are now receiving considerable attention as tools
   for modelling and understanding economic and financial processes.
   These techniques, which include neural networks, genetic algorithms
   and expert systems are now being used in a wide variety of
   applications including the modelling of economic cycles, modelling of
   artificial economies, portfolio optimisation and credit evaluation.

   To be added to the list, send mail to [e-mail]. An

Subject: [1-4]  What are the rules for the game of "Life"?

Cellular Automata, of which Life is an example, were suggested by
Stanislaw Ulam in the 1940s, and first formalized by von Neumann.
Conway's "Game of Life" was popularized in Martin Gardner's
mathematical games column in the October 1970 and February 1971 issues
of Scientific American.     (Shorter notes on life are alse given in the
column in each month from October 1970 to April 1971, and well as
November 1971, January 1972, and December 1972.)

The rules for the game of life are quite simple. The game board is a
rectangular cell array, with each cell either empty or filled. At each
tick of the clock, we generate the next generation by the following rules:

    if a cell is empty, fill it if 3 of its neighbors are filled
    (otherwise leave it empty)

    if a cell is filled, it
        dies of loneliness if it has 1 or fewer neighbors
        continues to live if it has 2 or 3 neighbors
        dies of overcrowding if it has more than 3 neighbors

Neighbors include the cells on the diagonals. Some implementations use
a torus-based array (edges joined top-to-bottom and left-to-right) for
computing neighbors.

For example, a row of 3 filled cells will become a column of 3 filled
cells in the next generation. The R pentomino is an interesting
pattern:
      xx
     xx
      x
Try it with other patterns of 5 cells initially occupied. If you
record the ages of cells, and map the ages to colors, you can get a
variety of beautiful images.

When implementing Life, be sure to maintain separate arrays for the
old and new generation. Updating the array in place will not work
correctly.

Subject: [1-5]  What AI competitions exist?

The Loebner Prize, based on a fund of over $100,000 established by New
York businessman Hugh G. Loebner, is awarded annually for the computer
program that best emulates natural human behavior. During the
contest, a panel of independent judges attempts to determine whether
the responses on a computer terminal are being produced by a computer
or a person, along the lines of the Turing Test. The designers of the
best program each year win a cash award and a medal. If a program
passes the test in all its particulars, then the entire fund will be
paid to the program's designer and the fund abolished. For further
information about the Loebner Prize, write Dr. Robert Epstein,
Executive Director, Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies, 11

Stiquito is a small (3cm H x 7cm W x 6cm L), simple (32 parts) and
inexpensive (< $30) nitinol-propelled hexapod robot developed at the
Indiana University (Bloomington) Robotics Laboratory.  Its legs are
propelled by nitnol actuator wires. Each leg has one degree of freedom.

Subject: [1-9]  Glossary of AI terms.

This is the start of a simple glossary of short definitions for AI terminology.

   Strong AI:
    Claim that computers can be made to actually think, just like human
    beings do. More precisely, the claim that there exists a class of
    computer programs, such that any implementation of such a program is
    really thinking.

   Weak AI:
    Claim that computers are important tools in the modeling and
    simulation of human activity.

   Case-based Reasoning:
    Technique whereby "cases" similar to the current problem are
    retrieved and their "solutions" modified to work on the current
    problem.

   Nonlinear Planning:
    A planning paradigm which does not enforce a total (linear)
    ordering on the components of a plan.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Subject:  [1-10] What are the top schools in AI?

The answer to this question is not intended to be a ranking and should
not be interpreted as such. There are several major problems with
ratings like the Gourman Report and the US News and World Report. Such
rankings are often unsubstantiated and anecdotal, their accuracy is
questionable, and they do not focus on the subfields of an area. When
selecting a graduate school, students should look for schools which
not only have excellent programs in their general area of research
but also at least one faculty member whose research interests mesh
well with the student's. Accordingly, we've broken down this list
according to topic, and sorted the schools within each topic in
ALPHABETICAL ORDER.

The best way for students to discover which schools are good in a
field is to ask professors (and graduate students) in their
undergraduate school for suggestions on where to apply. Reading the
research journals in the field is another good method (see question
[1-1]).

NOTE THAT THIS LIST IS PRELIMINARY AND BY NO MEANS COMPLETE.

Please feel free to suggest schools that are particularly strong in
any of these areas, or to suggest new areas to be listed.
