A Retrospective on Paradigms of AI Programming (2002)


you can't hear me, it's because I'm in parentheses. - Steven Wright October 1997: It has been six years since I finished Paradigms of AI Programming (or PAIP), and now seems like a good time to look back at how Lisp and AI programming have changed.

Orbitz, one of the leading travel e-commerce sites, does schedule optimization using a Lisp system supplied by Carl de Marcken's company, ITA software. In the Scheme world, Abelson and Sussman have a new edition of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, and Daniel Friedman has a new version of The Little Lisper called The Seasoned Schemer. The only real competing text to emerge recently is Forbus and de Kleer, and they have a more limited (and thus more focused and integrated) approach, concentrating on inference systems.
