[Haskell-cafe] Haskell in Artificial Intelligence
Christos Chryssochoidis
I'm interested in doing a survey about the use of Haskell in the field
of Artificial Intelligence. I searched in Google, and found in the
HaskellWiki, at www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell_in_industry, two
organizations that use Haskell and do work related to AI. Besides that,
I haven't found much else. Could somebody from the Haskell community
give me some pointer to a project or system related to AI that uses
Haskell?
Thank you very much in advance.

Thank you very much for your response Krasimir.

you can find a word about possible usage of functional programming in AI in
following paper:
http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~rjmh/Papers/whyfp.html .
Besides in HackageDB you can find separate category AI.
I had pleasure also to write an AI of simple game
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_Soccer):
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/foo .
Currently I'm working on AI of another game:
http://www.educationallearninggames.com/how-to-play-pylos-game-rules.asp .
It's not much though.

Thanks very much for the very interesting pointers!

We and a colleague from Japan use Haskell for Inductive Functional
Programming, i.e. learn programs from examples.
However, we just have started to port our program to Haskell:
http://www.cogsys.wiai.uni-bamberg.de/effalip/
Susumu Katayama has already a Haskell library:
http://nautilus.cs.miyazaki-u.ac.jp/~skata/MagicHaskeller.html
More information about IP can be found here:
http://www.inductive-programming.org/
What kind of survey are you doing? Do you have a pointer, too?
Greetings,
Martin

Thank you very much Martin for the most interesting pointers!
Unfortunately I haven't any such pointers of mine (searching in Google
didn't really reveal much); only the ones given by the people who
kindly responded to my request in this thread.
I'm an undergraduate student who just starts his thesis concerning
functional programming, and I've been asked by the supervising
professor to investigate Haskell's use in AI, a field in which - as
the professor said - the commonly used functional language thus far
was Lisp.
Thanks very much again,

I started using Haskell in my graduate introductory AI course. The
basic advantage is that of embedding domain-specific languages in
Haskell (well documented in, for example, "Composing Contracts" and
"Playing the DSL Card"). In this case, the embedded language is that
of probability distributions and decision processes. The Haskell
implementation can simulate a decision process as well as find a best
response strategy.
Unfortunately, the documentation is sparse outside my class lectures,
but you can find the code with comments at
http://conway.rutgers.edu/~ccshan/wiki/cs530/
(search for "Process.lhs").

I'm very interested in studying the material on your course's website,
as well as the links kindly given in the other responses, since in the
survey I'm making, besides citing and describing the uses of Haskell
in AI, I should also elaborate on the advantages that Haskell has as
a language for AI, some of which you mentioned already.
I'm excited doing this research about Haskell, because it seems that
the faculty members in the CS department I attend are considering
introducing Haskell to the AI course offered there, which for a long
time has been stuck to using imperative languages.
Thank you very much again,
Christos Chryssochoidis
