Common Lisp Modules — Artificial Intelligence in the Era of Neural Networks and Chaos Theory (1991)
Channel: Alone in the Kitchen — by Nino Ivanov
Date: 2023-10-10

Review of a surprisingly fresh and modern book on AI using Common #Lisp by Mark Watson, with a focus on conciseness and practical implementation. You gain a candid overview over #NeuralNetworks, including Hopfield nets, with examples on speech recognition and pattern matching, you learn about Natural Language Processing ( #NLP both with syntactic and semantic parsing approaches), #ExpertSystems, (heurisitic) search... and you get to rather play a nice game of chess than Global Thermonuclear War. All the basic approaches appear as relevant today as they did in 1991.
