- Subject: [4-0] General Information about FTP Resources for AI
-
- Remember, when ftping compressed or compacted files (.Z, .z, .arc, .fit,
- etc.) to use binary mode for retrieving the files.
-
- Files that end with a .z suffix were compressed with the patent-free
- gzip (no relation to zip). Source for gzip is available from:
- prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/{gzip-1.2.3.shar,gzip-1.2.3.tar,gzip-1.2.3.msdos.exe}
-
- If you do not have ftp access, you can FTP files by E-mail. Send a
- message with the word "help" in the body to ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com.
-
- In general, see the Lisp FAQ for Lisp-related software and the Prolog
- Resource Guide and the Prolog FAQ for Prolog-related software. If a
- Lisp-based or Prolog-based system is listed here, only the ftp site
- and directory will be listed; for a more detailed description, see the
- Lisp FAQ and the Prolog Resource Guide. For information on obtaining
- the Lisp FAQ or the Prolog Resource Guide see [1-0].
-
- When referring to software, "alpha" indicates an internal early
- release, "beta" indicates an external early release, and "omega"
- indicates an external "finished" release. Generally an "alpha" release
- means the creator hasn't yet tested for bugs.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- Subject: [4-1] FTP Repositories
-
- CMU AI Repository:
-
- Construction of the repository is taking longer than expected. (You
- don't realize how slow ftp is until you try ftping several hundred
- megabytes at a time.) We're about 90% done collecting materials,
- and are currently reorganizing the contents. It should become available
- within a week or two, the end of August at the latest. An announcement
- will be made to all relevant newsgroups and mailing lists when the
- repository is ready.
-
- Ada Repository:
-
- The Ada Repository on wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (mailing list

- included some programs which are available by contacting the authors,
- and some programs which charge a nominal fee.
-
- Agent Modelling:
-
- ANIMALS is a simulation system written by Toby Tyrrell,
- <toby@castle.ed.ac.uk>, for his PhD thesis. The thesis examines the
- problem of action selection when dealing with realistic, animal-like
- situations: how to choose, at each moment in time, the most
- appropriate out of a repertoire of possible actions. It includes a
- description is given of a simulated environment which is an extensive
- and detailed simulation of the problem of action selection for
- animals. This simulated environment is used to investigate the
- adequacy of several theories of action selection (from both ethology
- and artificial intelligence) such as the drive model, Lorenz's
- psycho-hydraulic model and Maes' spreading activation network, and
- outlines deficiencies in each mechanism. Finally, it proposes a new
- approach to action selection is developed which determines the most
- appropriate action in a principled way, and which does not suffer from
- the inherent shortcomings found in other methods. The thesis includes
- a review and bibliography of existing work on action selection. The
- thesis is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.ed.ac.uk:pub/lrtt/
- [129.215.146.5] as the files as.1.ps.Z, as.2.ps.Z, ..., and as.7.ps.Z.
- The simulation software is also available from the same site, as the
- file se.tar.Z. The simulation software was written in Suntools rather
- than Xtools. It can be run only from SunView or OpenWindows. The
- action selection problem modelled by the simulated environment
- comprises 15 different `sub-problems' (getting food, reproducing, not
- getting lost, being vigilant for predators, etc), many internal and
- external stimuli, and 35 different low-level actions to select
- between.
-
- ViewGen (Viewpoint Generator) is a Prolog program that implements a
- "Belief Ascription Algorithm" as described in Ballim and Wilks (see the
- bibliography section on User Modelling). This can be seen as a form of
- agent modelling tool, which allows for the generation of arbitrarily deep
- nested belief spaces based on the system's own beliefs, and on beliefs
- that are typically held by groups of agents. ViewGen is available by
- anonymous ftp from
- crl.nmsu.edu:pub/ViewFinder [128.123.1.18] (user anonymous)
- ftp.ims.uni-stuttgart.de:pub/ballim [141.58.127.8] (user ftp)
- as the file ViewGen.tar.Z. The theory of belief ascription upon which
- it is based is described in detail in Ballim and Wilks, and a general
- framework for attributing and maintaining nested propositional
- attitudes is described in Afzal Ballim's dissertation which is
- archived with the Viewgen program (in the files
- ViewFinder-{A4/A5/US}.tar.Z,
- the variable part indicating the format of the PostScript file).
- The inheritance reasoner is in the file vf-hetis.tar.Z.
- Implemented in Sicstus prolog, and hence easily convertible to
- any Edinburgh-style prolog. Contact Afzal Ballim <afzal@divsun.unige.ch>
- for more information.

-
- Chess:
-
- The SAN Kit chess programming C source toolkit provides common routines
- for move notation I/O, move generation, move execution, etc. Only search
- routines and an evaluation function need be added to obtain a working
- chess program. It runs on Apple Macintosh (Think C 5.0),
- Commodore Amiga (SAS C), MS-DOS, and Unix. It is available by
- anonymous ftp from valkyries.andrew.cmu.edu [128.2.232.4] in the
- directory pub/chess/misc as the compressed tar file SAN.tar.Z.
- Also at this site is the SCP package, a restructured ANSI C port of
- the 1987 Stanback Chess Program.

-
- Constraint Programming and Non-determinism:
-
- SCREAMER:
-
- Screamer is an extension of Common Lisp that adds support for
- nondeterministic programming. Screamer consists of two levels. The
- basic nondeterministic level adds support for backtracking and
- undoable side effects. On top of this nondeterministic substrate,
- Screamer provides a comprehensive constraint programming language in
- which one can formulate and solve mixed systems of numeric and
- symbolic constraints. Together, these two levels augment Common Lisp
- with practically all of the functionality of both Prolog and
- constraint logic programming languages such as CHiP and CLP(R).
- Furthermore, Screamer is fully integrated with Common Lisp. Screamer
- programs can coexist and interoperate with other extensions to Common
- Lisp such as CLOS, CLIM and Iterate.
-
- In several ways Screamer is more efficient than other implementations
- of backtracking languages. First, Screamer code is transformed into
- Common Lisp which can be compiled by the underlying Common Lisp
- system. Many competing implementations of nondeterministic Lisp are
- interpreters and thus are far less efficient than Screamer. Second,
- the backtracking primitives require fairly low overhead in Screamer.
- Finally, this overhead to support backtracking is only paid for those
- portions of the program which use the backtracking primitives.
- Deterministic portions of user programs pass through the Screamer to
- Common Lisp transformation unchanged. Since in practise, only small
- portions of typical programs utilize the backtracking primitives,
- Screamer can produce more efficient code than compilers for languages
- in which backtracking is more pervasive.
-
- Screamer is fairly portable across most Common Lisp implementations.
- It currently runs under Genera 8.1.1 and 8.3 on both Symbolics 36xx
- and Ivory machines, under Lucid 4.0.2 and 4.1 on Sun SPARC machines,
- under MCL 2.0 and 2.0p2 on Apple Macintosh machines, and under Poplog
- Common Lisp on Sun SPARC machines. It should run under any
- implementation of Common Lisp which is compliant with CLtL2 and with
- minor revision could be made to run under implementations compliant
- with CLtL1 or dpANS.
-
- Screamer is available by anonymous FTP from ftp.ai.mit.edu as the file
- /pub/screamer.tar.Z. Contact Jeffrey Mark Siskind <qobi@ai.mit.edu> for
- further information.

- The ARS MAGNA abstract robot simular provides an abstract world in
- which a planner controls a mobile robot. This abstract world is more
- realistic than typical blocks worlds, in which micro-world simplifying
- assumptions do not hold. Experiments may be controlled by varying
- global world parameters, such as perceptual noise, as well as building
- specific environments in order to exercise particular planner
- features. The world is also extensible to allow new experimental
- designs that were not thought of originally. The simulator also
- includes a simple graphical user-interface which uses the CLX
- interface to the X window system. ARS MAGNA can be obtained by
- anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.yale.edu, as ars-magna.tar.Z in the pub/nisp
- directory. Installation instructions are in the file
- Installation.readme. The simulator is written in Nisp, a macro-package
- for Common Lisp. Nisp can be retrieved in the same way as the
- simulator. Version 1.0 of the ARS MAGNA simulator is documented in
- Yale Technical Report YALEU/DCS/RR #928, "ARS MAGNA: The Abstract
- Robot Simulator". This report is available in the distribution as a
- PostScript file. Comments should be directed to Sean Philip
- Engelson <engelson@cs.yale.edu>.
-
- Simderella is a robot simulator consisting of three programs: CONNEL
- (the controller), SIMMEL (the robot simulator), and BEMMEL (the
- X-windows oriented graphics back-end). SIMMEL performs a few matrix
- multiplications, based on the Denavit Hartenberg method, calculates
- velocities with the Newton-Euler scheme, and communicates with the
- other two programs. BEMMEL only displays the robot. CONNEL is the
- controller, which must be designed by the user (in the distributed
- version, CONNEL is a simple inverse kinematics routine.) The programs
- use Unix sockets for communication, so you must have sockets, but you
- can run the programs on different machines. The software is available
- by anonymous ftp from
- galba.mbfys.kun.nl:pub/neuro-software/pd/ [131.174.82.73]
- as the file simderella.1.0.tar.Z The software has been compiled using
- gcc on SunOS running under X11R4/5 on Sun3, Sun4, Sun Sparc 1, 2, and
- 10, and Silicon Graphics architectures. For more information,
- send email to Patrick van der Smagt, <smagt@fwi.uva.nl>.
-
- The Michigan Intelligent Coordination Experiment (MICE) testbed is a
- tool for experimenting with coordination between intelligent systems
- under a variety of conditions. MICE simulates a two-dimensional
- grid-world in which agents may move, communicate, and affect their
- environment. MICE is essentially a discrete-event simulator that
- helps control the domain and a graphical representation, but provides
- relatively few constraints on the form of the domain and the agents'
- abilities. Users may specify the time required by various activities,
- the constraints on an agents' sensors, the configuration of the domain
- and its properties, etc. MICE runs under XWindows on Un*x boxes, on
- Macs, and on TI Explorers, with relatively consistent graphical
- displays. Source code, documentation, and examples are available via
- anonymous ftp to ftp.eecs.umich.edu:Mice/Mice.tar.Z. MICE was
- produced by the University of Michigan's Distributed Intelligent Agent
- Group (UM DIAG). For further information, write to
- umdiagmice@caen.engin.umich.edu.

- Simulated Annealing:
-
- VFSR (Very Fast Simulated Reannealing) is a powerful global optimization
- C-code algorithm especially useful for nonlinear and/or stochastic
- systems. Most current copies usually can be obtained by anonymous ftp
- from ftp.uu.net:tmp/vfsr.Z.
- Older versions can be found in the Netlib archive (research.att.com:opt/,
- logging in as netlib), the Statlib archive (lib.stat.cmu.edu, logging in
- as statlib), the UMIACS archive (ftp.umiacs.umd.edu:pub/ingber), and the
- UTSA archive (ringer.cs.utsa.edu:/pub/rosen). The authors have
- (p)reprints related to VFSR in their archives: Lester Ingber has a review
- article, sarev.ps.Z, in the UMIACS archive (and on uunet in /tmp), and
- Bruce Rosen has a comparison study, "Function Optimization based on
- Advanced Simulated Annealing", which is available in the UTSA archive as
- the file rosen.advsim.ps.Z. Copies of the code are also available
- by email from the author, Lester Ingber <ingber@alumni.caltech.edu>.
-
- Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) is available by anonymous ftp from
- ftp.caltech.edu:pub/ingber [131.215.48.151].

- Speech:
-
- RECNET is a complete speech recognition system for the DARPA TIMIT and
- Resource Management tasks. It uses recurrent networks to estimate phone
- probabilities and Markov models to find the most probable sequence of
- phones or words. The system is a snapshot of evolving research code.
- There is no documentation other than published research papers. It is
- configured for the two specific databases and is unlikely to be of use as
- a complete system for other tasks. It is available by anonymous ftp from
- svr-ftp.eng.cam.ac.uk:misc/recnet-1.3.tar.Z. Related publications can be
- found in svr-ftp.eng.cam.ac.uk:reports/ (see the ABSTRACT file first).
- You will need the relevant CDROMs, 150MByte of free space for TIMIT and
- 300MByte for RM. If you use the code, the author would appreciate an
- email message so that he can keep you informed of new releases. Write to
- Tony Robinson, <ajr@eng.cam.ac.uk>, for more information.
-
- CELP 3.2a is available from super.org:/pub/celp_3.2a.tar.Z
- [192.31.192.1] with copies available on
- svr-ftp.eng.cam.ac.uk:comp.speech/sources/ The code (C, FORTRAN,
- diskio) all has been built and tested on a Sun4 under SunOS4.1.3. If
- you want to run it somewhere else, then you may have to do a bit of
- work. (A Solaris 2.x-compatible release is planned soon.) Written by
- Joe Campbell <jpcampb@afterlife.ncsc.mil> of the Department of
- Defense. Distribution facilitated by Craig F. Reese
