Hi CC,

you can find a word about possible usage of functional programming in AI in following paper: http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~rjmh/Papers/whyfp.html . Besides in HackageDB you can find separate category AI. I had pleasure also to write an AI of simple game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_Soccer): http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/foo . Currently I'm working on AI of another game: http://www.educationallearninggames.com/how-to-play-pylos-game-rules.asp . It's not much though.

rgds, Bartek

Thanks very much for the very interesting pointers! Best regards, Christos

Greetings,

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?

Thank you very much in advance.

- CC

I appreciate very much your response sir. I'm very interested in studying the material on your course's website, as well as the links kindly given in the other responses, since in the survey I'm making, besides citing and describing the uses of Haskell in AI, I should also elaborate on the advantages that Haskell has as a language for AI, some of which you mentioned already. I'm excited doing this research about Haskell, because it seems that the faculty members in the CS department I attend are considering introducing Haskell to the AI course offered there, which for a long time has been stuck to using imperative languages. Thank you very much again, Christos Chryssochoidis On 14 Οκτ 2008, at 3:29 ΜΜ, Chung-chieh Shan wrote:

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").
