I'm interested in doing a survey about the use of Haskell in the field of Artificial Intelligence. I searched in Google, and found in the HaskellWiki, at www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell_in_industry, two organizations that use Haskell and do work related to AI. Besides that, I haven't found much else. Could somebody from the Haskell community give me some pointer to a project or system related to AI that uses Haskell?
I started using Haskell in my graduate introductory AI course. The basic advantage is that of embedding domain-specific languages in Haskell (well documented in, for example, "Composing Contracts" and "Playing the DSL Card"). In this case, the embedded language is that of probability distributions and decision processes. The Haskell implementation can simulate a decision process as well as find a best response strategy. Unfortunately, the documentation is sparse outside my class lectures, but you can find the code with comments at http://conway.rutgers.edu/~ccshan/wiki/cs530/ (search for "Process.lhs"). -- Edit this signature at http://www.digitas.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/ken/sig Human cognition is not equipped to update the list of players in our complex social rosters by accommodating a particular person's sudden inexistence. -- Jesse Bering, Never Say Die: Why We Can't Imagine Death.
