  • AIMA-Talk: (from the Yahoo! groups description): Help for the AIMA textbook. Questions, discussion, and resources for the text.
  • AIMA homepage.
  • New - A good set of complementary notes on the book topics, given by the MIT Open CourseWare project. The notes for AI are compiled by Profs. Lozano-Pérez and Kaebling. Thanks to the student who contributed this information!
  • Chinook, the world-champ at checkers.
  • Deep Blue's hardware specifications.
  • Feeling chatty? Good! Tell Alan about it.
  • Advanced AI links:
    • Can't read all of the news? The multi-document news article summarization system, Columbia Newsblaster, can help.
    • No hands across America - More information on the self-navigating driving systems developed at CMU.
    • Video of Minerva, a tour robot that operated in the Smithsonian Institute in the USA [ local, cached copy of the video (only visible to computers within SoC) ] [ from a site in Stanford ]

Nice algorithm animations

Here are some nice algorithm animations that can help you understand the workings of some of the algorithms discussed in class. Our TA, Huang Weihua, compiled this list. As java applets and sites on the web come up and go down on a Murphy's law basis, don't be surprised if the sites below may not (always) work.

• BFS: http://www-jcsu.jesus.cam.ac.uk/~tdk22/project/breadthdemo.html
• DFS: http://www-jcsu.jesus.cam.ac.uk/~tdk22/project/depthfirst.html
• Heuristic: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/cs3361_96_spring/lecture-2.html
• CSP: http://www.aaai.org/AITopics/html/conbase.html
• Minimax: http://www.delphiforfun.org/Programs/NIM_Minimax.htm
• Alpha-beta pruning: http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~cs251/OldCourses/1997/topic11/
