Additional
Resources
Linked
here are a variety of additional resources that may be of interest to any visitor
looking for more information on specific topics in AI.
AI Topics - This is
a extraordinary web site provided by the American Association for Artificial
Intelligence [AAAI] and is an excellent resource for students, teachers, journalists,
and everyone who would like to learn about what artificial intelligence is,
and what AI scientists do. Also of interest is their ever-changing page devoted
to AI in the News.
Large Sites - Collections
- About.com
- AI: About.com is a great source of information on any topic. Its AI section
is quite comprehensive, and well organized, though there is a great deal of
information to read through. Provides hundreds of links to pages in every
major area of AI, including (but not limited to) Neural
Nets, Expert
Systems, and Natural
Language Processing, as well as a fairly thorough beginner's
section.
- IIT-AI:
The (Canadian) Institute for Information Technology has compiled a large list
of AI related resources. While much of it focuses on areas like employment
opportunities, there is some excellent information in the FAQs,
Journals,
and Archive
areas. This site is fairly technical in nature, Journal articles especially
may presume a background in Computer Science.
- AI
on the Web - A page maintained at the University of California at Berkeley
that includes an enormous quantity of links and references. Every course topic
has some coverage here, as well as some interesting sidebars, like a list
of private companies that make use of AI technology and research. Also included
are a great number of links to the homepages of researchers in all areas of
AI.
- Bibliography
Archive - This site maintains a very large index of subject-specific bibliographies,
including several on the subject of AI. Bibliographies exist both for general
interest, and for specific research agendas, each containing several hundred
references. Organization is a little difficult to manage - it may take three
or four clicks to get to the actual contents of the bibliography.
- Chalmers'
Cognitive Science Bibliography - An annotated bibliography site, this
one with a slant towards the philosophical foundations of cognitive science.
Dictionaries
- FOLDOC
- The Free On-Line Dictionary Of Computing is a helpful resource for students
having trouble with the terminology used in the AI readings. Each dictionary
entry is well referenced to other entries and outside sources where appropriate.
- CogSci
Dictionary - As with computing terms, some students may have trouble understanding
some of the philosophical and cognitive science issues presented in AI readings.
The University of Alberta's Cognitive Science dictionary provides clear and
accurate explanations of the terminology and debate that you may encounter
in other readings. The dictionary is also available in a searchable
form.
Online Manuscripts
- CogPrints
- An online archive of journal articles and manuscripts dealing with issues
in the Cognitive Sciences (psychology, linguistics, AI, philosophy, etc.).
Articles are archived in a number of formats, principally Adobe Acrobat PDF
format (PDF files require Adobe's free Acrobat Reader software to read, click
here to go to Adobe's site).
- Chalmers'
Online Articles - In addition to the large print bibliography (see
above), David Chalmers has gathered an impressive collection of online
manuscripts in a variety of disciplines.
