*** 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, ai-faq-3.text, and ai-faq-4.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.

The FAQ postings are also archived in the periodic posting archive on
rtfm.mit.edu [18.172.1.27]. Look in the anonymous ftp directory
/pub/usenet/news.answers/ in the subdirectory ai-faq/. If you do not have
anonymous ftp access, you can access the archive by mail server as well.
Send an E-mail message to [e-mail] with "help" and "index"
in the body on separate lines for more information.

[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 part 2 of the FAQ for a list of other more
specialized discussion lists.

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.

The Robotics FAQ is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.cmu.edu
[128.2.206.173] in the directory /user/nivek/robotics-faq as the files
part1 and part2. To obtain a copy by email, send a message to
[e-mail] containing the following lines: send
usenet/news.answers/robotics-faq/part1 send
usenet/news.answers/robotics-faq/part2 On UUCP, it is available at
uunet!/archive/usenet/news.answers/robotics-faq/ as the files part1.Z and
part2.Z (or by ftp from ftp.uu.net [137.39.1.9] in
/archive/usenet/news.answers/robotics-faq/).

Information about object-oriented programming can be obtained in the
newsgroups comp.object, comp.lang.clos, and comp.lang.smalltalk.
Information about object-oriented databases can be obtained in the survey
compiled by Stewart Clamen, which may be found either in the comp.object
FAQ posting or in byron.sp.cs.cmu.edu:clamen/evolution-summary

[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.)
There's also quite a bit on the game in "The Recursive Universe", by
William Poundstone, Oxford University Press, 1987, 252 pages.

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.

[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 Waterhouse Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, or call
617-491-9020.

The BEAM Robot Olympics is a robot exhibition/competition started in 1991.
For more information about the competition, write to BEAM Robot Olympics,

N2L-3G1, 519-885-1211 x2454, [e-mail].

The Gordon Bell Prize competition recognizes outstanding achievements in
the application of parallel processing to practical scientific and
engineering problems. Entries are considered in performance,
price/performance, compiler parallelization and speedup categories, and a
total of $3,000 will be awarded. The prizes are sponsored by Gordon Bell, a
former National Science Foundation division director who is now an
independent consultant.  Contestants should send a three- or four-page
executive summary to 1993 Gordon Bell Prize, c/o Marilyn Potes, IEEE
Computer Society, 10662 Los Vaqueros Cir., PO Box 3014, Los Alamitos, CA

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.

The robot walks up to 10 centimeters per minute and can carry a 9-volt
cell, a MOSIS "tiny chip" and power transistors to drive the nitinol
actuator wires. Nitinol wire (aka BioMetal, Flexinol), is a nickel-titanium
alloy which exerts useful force as it is heated by passing a current
through it. IUCS Technical Report 363a describes Stiquito's construction
and is available by anonymous ftp from cs.indiana.edu:/pub/stiquito
(129.79.254.191) as are many other related files.  The tech report is also
available by US mail for $5 (checks or money orders should be made payable
to "Indiana University") from Computer Science Department, Attn: TR 363a
215, Lindley Hall, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405. A kit
containing all the materials needed to construct a simple version of
Stiquito and its controller is available for an extra $10 from the above
address (use attn line "Stiquito Kit"). To receive a video showing the
assembly of Stiquito, include an additional $10 and add "Video" to the
"Attn:" line.  Anyone may build and use Stiquitos in any quantity for
educational or research purposes, but Indiana University reserves all
rights to commercial applications. Questions about Stiquito should be sent

YAPS is a tool for building expert systems and other programs that use a
rule-based knowledge representation in Lisp. The YAPS library provides a
CLOS class and appropriate methods which the programmer may mix into
his/her own classes or use directly.  Rules and facts about an instance are
associated with the instance.  Instead of one large knowledgebase with many
rules which are hard to debug and maintain, the programmer creates smaller
knowledge-bases which are modular and more efficient.  The YAPS
knowledge-bases can interact with and be controlled by the programmer's
other modules, making hybrid systems straightforward.  Introduced by Liz
Allen at AAAI-83, YAPS is now available on Apple Macintosh, Sun3 and Sun4
(SPARC), DEC VAX under VMS and Ultrix, and 88Open platforms.  YAPS runs in
most commercial Common Lisps including Allegro CL, Harlequin Lispworks,
Lucid CL, IBUKI CL, and Macintosh Common Lisp.  YAPS is also available for
the TI Explorer and Symbolic Lisp Machines, and a Flavors version is
available for Sun3 in Franz Lisp.  Other ports are underway -- for price
and availability contact College Park Software at 461 W. Loma Alta Dr.,

[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.

   Admissibility: An admissible search algorithm is one that is guaranteed
        to find an optimal path from the start node to a goal node, if one
        exists. In A* search, an admissible heuristic is one that never
        overestimates the distance remaining from the current node to the
        goal.

   Fuzzy Logic: In Fuzzy Logic, truth values are real values in the closed
        interval [0..1]. The definitions of the boolean operators are
        extended to fit this continuous domain. By avoiding discrete
        truth-values, Fuzzy Logic avoids some of the problems inherent in
        either-or judgments and yields natural interpretations of
        utterances like "very hot". Fuzzy Logic has applications in control
        theory.

[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.

For a school to be added to a topic area, there should at least two faculty
actively conducting research in that area and the school should have a
"good" reputation in that area. Exceptions are made for schools which only
have one faculty member in the area, but that professor is a "leader" of
the area, or for fields where the total number of people working in the
area is small in the first place. The general idea behind these criteria is
to ensure that a school has enough activity in the area that a student who
considers one of these schools won't be disappointed if one of the faculty
in that area is on sabbatical or isn't taking students.

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]).

A list of email addresses for CS departments is posted once a month to the
newsgroup soc.college.gradinfo.

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.

[4-2]  FTP and Other Resources

In addition to programs available free by anonymous ftp, we've included
some programs which are available by contacting the authors, and some
programs which charge a nominal fee.

   Agent Modelling:

      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
      <[e-mail]> for more information.

   Robotics (Planning Testbeds and Simulators):

      TILEWORLD -- cs.washington.edu:new-tileworld.tar.Z Planning testbed

      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 <[e-mail]>.

      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, <[e-mail]>.

   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
      <[e-mail]>.
