Vb.Net for Artificial Intelligence

[ehsen]

I am an Artificial Intelligence lover. Mostly people use Lisp or Prolog for the creation of Intelligent agents. I am a vb programer so therefore i am finding it too difficult to migrate to prolog or lisp.

What's your idea about vb.net. Can i create complex algorthims in it like the implemetation of neural networks, Machine learning etc or i have to learn a new language like C# which can be difficult for me. As you can understand that migrating from vb to C# is not easy.

Yes, you can create neural networks in fact I saw one article where they had code for VB.NET for that. Most sites list the algorithms for C++ but as long as you can translate it to VB.NET there is no problems.
You can find an article on neural nets and the vb.net code here:

The one above uses the network to make a OCR program.

In your reply you mostly talk about neural networks but i want to ask you as a whole can i use vb.net for A.I

As long as you know how to code AI you can do it in VB.NET. Its just that its hard to find samples on AI for .NET framework now.
