fguihen Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 im in 4th year computing and have to choose a project on a topic of which i have never looked at before. i was thinking something in the artificial intelligence area. more specifically , creating an artificial ecosystem and have "intelligent " creatures that can grow and evolve according to how well they do in the envrionment, speed, how good they are at gathering food etc. unfortunately , i have no idea how to get started. if anyone could point me in the direction of some good sources of info on artificial life, how to code artificial life, neural networks for dummies etc, i would be greatful. thank you Quote
jedbartlet Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 I'm a third year student doing final project on face recognition using neural networks. A book i found usefull for setting the groundwork on artificial intelligence, in particular neural nets was Artificial Intelligence Third edition by Patrick H. Winston. A much more detailed and practical book that i've just started on and has been recomended to me by several people is Practical Neural Network Recipes in C++ by Morgan Kafmann. Although this was published in 1993 so a newer more up to date edition may be available. Good luck! Quote

Joe Mamma Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 do a web search for logistic equation. also search this site for the same term Quote Joe Mamma Amendment 4: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Shazbots Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 I think this is something not to desimilar to what you are looking for. Terrarium What is Terrarium? Terrarium, a sample application built by Microsoft®, is game for software developers that provides a great introduction to software development on the .NET Framework. In Terrarium, developers create herbivores, carnivores, or plants and then introduce them into a peer-to-peer, networked ecosystem for a survival-of-the-fittest type competition. The game provides both a competitive medium for testing your software development and strategy skills as well as a realistic evolutionary biology/artificial intelligence model for evaluating the role that various behaviors and traits can play in the fight for survival. Terrarium also demonstrates some of the features of the .NET Framework, including the Windows Forms integration with DirectX® for generating powerful user interface (UI); XML Web services; support for peer-to-peer networking; support for multiple programming languages; the capability to update smart client, or Windows-based, applications via a remote Web server; and the evidence-based and code access security infrastructure that protects participating computers from the mobile code they are running. This paper will focus on the technological merits of Terrarium, presenting a high-level overview of the role that the above features of the .NET Framework play in the game. Quote
