Hi
I was wondering if there is any squeak project/tool targeted at AI students, anything that could help illustrate/express basic concepts on knowledge representation, expert systems, etc.
Not really at the moment as far as I know...
They were an expert system callad Neopus but it was on vw 2.5. I think it never has been ported to squeak and If I remember well the author is ok (http://www-poleia.lip6.fr/~fdp/NeOpus.html)
Also, in the same period there were backtalk, a CSP. Backtalk has been used in squeak recently in 2006, there is a squeaksource projet but alll is not usable (http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/announcements/2006-May/000033.ht...)...
Maybe SOUL (Smalltalk Open Unification Language) can help too. It has also been ported to squeak but just don't know how to use it... It's about Declarative Meta Programming. Project is here : http://www.squeaksource.com/SqueakSoul.html. A self explaining site (http://prog.vub.ac.be/DMP/index.html). I don't think it's IA as you expect, but propbably interesting to have a look at.
Cheers,
Cédrick
ps: hopefully, I'll port NARS to squeak this summer ;-) (http://nars.wang.googlepages.com/)
