A look at the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

General AI

Artificial Intelligence Wiki – a good place to start to understand what AI encompasses and its different areas.

Journal of Machine Learning Research – Amazingly complex scientific papers of AI algorithms. Not for light reading.

Machine Learning Open Source Software

 

Areas of interest for me:

Reinforcement Learning – concerned with how an agent ought to take actions in an environment so as to maximize some notion of cumulative reward.

Data Mining

Data Mining – good starting point for learning about data mining

Text Mining

Basically Text Mining is data mining on unstructured data like documents, web pages, etc. instead of a database.

Natural Language Processing – Imagine a machine being able to scour the internet and actually extract knowledge about what it read.

Text Mining – an area of Natural Language Processing, has many commercial uses even today. i.e. Bing

Semantic Web – a machine readable version of the web.

DBpedia – An effort to translate Wikipedia into machine understandable format to facilitate complex queries and meanings of words, not just matches.

Freebase – Similar to DBpedia, but it is hand crafted. DBpedia has lots of links to it as well. A database of “bar codes” for all entities on the web. Aliasing… Also powers Bing

What is Text Mining – describes how text mining is more complex than data mining since it involves natural language processing.

Carrot2 – text and search results clustering framework. Very cool way to browse search results and get to what you are looking for
