These are /research/ questions. For c) minimum you have to have two, input
and output layers. a) and c) and number of links (it may not necessarily
be a fully-connected network) are a research component. Try :) To be
computationally-feasible on a "commodity" class machines don't try too
many hidden layers with many neurons in a fully-connected network.

To give a few numbers: in one of our projects a net of 512 input neurons,
32 output neurons, a hidden layer of 1024, then 512, then 256 (a total of
5 layers) on my PIII, 550Mhz, 512Mb of RAM has never completed because it
ran out of memory.

You will find many rules of thumb to say exactly how many layers or
units to put into a network.  Don't believe them. The best answer is to
search the parameter space and use cross-validation.  A helpful

Hi.

I am currently using AIMA printed in 1995 (2nd printing - I think!) and I think
I spotted a mistake or just a point that needs to be clarified in the
CURRENT-BEST-LEARNING algorithm on page 547, Chapter 18, section 18.5.

The line reads
for each remaining example in examples do

should it not read -

for each remaining example e in examples do

As we use the variable e in the rest of the algorithm, but it is never
initialised.


Yours thankfully,

hi

I am learning the grocery shopping world at A.I course.
i need some explainations about this subject

Hi all,

i already post this question last year before the second edition was
released. Do you have any plans to have a french translation of AIMA
available ? I dunno how to proceed to make one : talk to a french editor ?

Best regards,

PS : please reply to my real address : Serge DOT Stinckwich AT info

hello,
        i am a student of MS in computer science. i am doing my final
year project in natural language processing. my problems are
1. is there any online book available on the web, or  online tutorial.
    please inform me.
2. are textstorm and clouds available on the web for downdoad.

     regards.
      girish

The two best books are "Speech and Language Processing" and
"Foundations of Statistical NLP". Neither is online.
http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/ai.html#nlp has some online resources, but
not books.

Hello there.


I'm not experienced at all in this field by you can find "Prolog and
Natural-Language Analysis" in this link:
http://www.mtome.com/pnla-physical.html.
In http://www.comsem.org/ there are also 2 books on computational
semantics, also using prolog.


Hope it helps,
Luis

Hi, I'm ordering a copy of AIMA, and I have the
possibility of getting the "International Edition."
It seems a little more recent and wallet-friendly.
Does anyone know the difference between it and the
normal?

When I try to access aima.cs.berkeley.edu with Mozilla 1.4, I get a
dialog popping up asking me for a name and password for Kerberos
authentication. IE doesn't have this issue. I would suggest this issue
  be raised to a network admin at Berkeley, so they can fix it. I don't
remember it happening before; I use Mozilla all the time.

Thanks,
Brandon

I believe this was a temporary configuration problem, now fixed.  Let us know if
there
are further problems.

I'm guessing it's of flimsier build quality to compete
in cost-conscious markets, based on what O'Reilly says
about its int'l editions.  Thanks, I don't think this
is important enough anymore to respond to.

Hello, I have the italian version of this great book, but
unfortunately there are not the solutions to the excercises, so if
someone knows where i can find them, please help me,

thank you very much :)

Solutions to exercises are not available.  The reason is that instructors want
to
assign exercises as homework, and want the students to do the work
themselves, rather than copying the answers.

not after the answer, trying to understand the question
given (x, y) number of states would be x * y
but qn b
paths to goal ?????
my maths not that strong to analyse this
any help or hints appreciated

I understand this, but there are a lot of students that prepare
themselves with the book without following classes, and in those
cases (like mine) it would be useful to have at least part of the
answers, because otherwise you don't know if your answers are right
or wrong.. that was my case, but no problem, thank you very much for
answering me :)

trying to answer question 3.15 part a of 2002 print
am i right to assume its the formula we are after? if so any clues to
which pages to look at
and paths to the goal - i dont understand the question asked here?

tks for any help - slightly stressed

cogga

I agree with you, and it is our goal to eventually have additional
exercises (not the ones in the book) online with answers.  However,
we're also busy with other tasks.

I was working on problem 3.4 (never did get very good at those
sliding-block puzzles as a kid).  I found the Berlekamp books at the
library, but I haven't found sliding-block puzzles in there yet.
Are they under a different name, or is there a different class of
games I should be looking for?

Thanks!

The graph-search and tree-search algorithms in chapter 3 of the 2nd
edition use a "fringe" variable to maintain the queue of nodes. Does
anyone know why the word "fringe" is used to describe this? The 1st
edition talked about a queue instead (actually, an "enqueue" function)
and I thought that terminology was more straightforward. Does the word
"fringe" have a more specific meaning than queue?

Thanks,
Brandon

The collection of nodes is a queue of nodes that are on the fringe of
the graph -- fringe meaning the frontier, or the leaf nodes of the
expanding graph.  We thought that "fringe" was a better name than
"queue" because it indicates what this is a collection of, rather than
how the collection is implemented.  Similarly, if you had a list of
employee names in a payroll problem, then "names" would probably be a
better variable name than "list".

Hi all,
        Can anybody explain me the differences between intelligent
agents and rational agents?.If they are different,mail me the details

Hi Gobinath,

The computer hasn’t emotion like human. It can’t write
some very beautiful song, like human. If computer do
something, it will “do the right thing”, doesn’t make
some mistake like human. But sometime “do the right
thing” doesn’t look natural in the real thinking of
human being.

Quite right about emotions.  Now:

I just wonder then, when a computer does the right thing and a human
considers it also the right thing to do, then the preception will be:
this an intelligent agent?  I have the feeling that the
label "intelligent" is applied when we humans "recognize"
or "percept" some behavior as such.

Thanks for your comments.
