If you think of questions that are appropriate for this FAQ, or would
like to improve an answer, please send email to the maintainers.
Parts 5 and 6 of the FAQ are now under heavy construction. The FTP & WWW
resources have been combined, since both are browser accessible these
days. We're also pruning the entries to sites that include
information other than whatever project is being done at that
University, etc.
Part 5 (WWW & FTP Resources):
[5-0] Research Index (nee Citeceer)
[5-1] Weblogs, repositories, web directories and communities not
aimed primarily at researchers
[5-2] Repositories and web directories aimed primarily at researchers
[5-3] AI Bibliographies available by FTP and WWW
[5-4] Technical Reports available by FTP and WWW
[5-5] Technical Reports for/by undergraduate students
[5-6] Where can I get a machine readable dictionary, thesaurus, and
other text corpora?
[5-7] Where can I get training sets for machine learning algorithms?
[5-8] What on-line journals are there?

Subject: [5-0] Research Index (nee Citeceer)
"ResearchIndex is a scientific literature digital library that aims to
improve the dissemination and feedback of scientific literature, and
to provide improvements in functionality, usability, availability,
cost, comprehensiveness, efficiency, and timeliness.
Rather than creating just another digital library, ResearchIndex
provides algorithms, techniques, and software that can be used in
other digital libraries. ResearchIndex indexes Postscript and PDF
research articles on the Web..."
Research index (though most people still call it citeseer) is the
currently best way to find published papers AND TRACK CITATIONS. It
is so cool, it's in the FAQ twice.

Subject: [5-1] Repositories and directories not aimed primarily at researchers
AI Topics:
http://www.aaai.org/Pathfinder/html/welcome.html
Presented by AAAI, AI Topics is a "...web site provided ... for
students, teachers, journalists, and everyone who would like to
learn more about what artificial intelligence is, and what AI
scientists do.
[Their] goal is to offer a limited number of authoritative,
non-technical resources that [they] have organized and annotated
to provide you with meaningful access to basic information about
the AI universe. Each of the AI Topics (see the navigation buttons
to the left) will lead you to online and in-print sources of
information.
There has been an explosion in the number of Websites that catalog
locations of AI information in a Yahoo-style directory. Although they
often duplicate functionality, in the interest of fairness, I will list all
the ones I know about here.
About.com:
http://ai.about.com
Kurzweilai.Net:
http://www.kurzweilai.net
An entertaining mix of flashy demos and interesting essays on AI,
many by important poeple in the field. Much philosophical
discussion, less hard-core technical discussion.
Neuron AI Directory
http://www.neuron.co.uk
Neural Network Information in Polish:
http://www.neuron.of.pl
Generation 5:
http://www.generation5.org
"Generation5 is aimed at presenting a website that will educate the
viewer on Artificial Intelligence -- whatever the level of
expertise. We have essays on the applications and history of AI for
those unfamiliar, to essays on programming and philosophy, all the way
to full blown mathematically-orientated essays on genetic algorithms
and neural networks. Generation5 prides itself also in its interviews
sections with exclusive interviews from top AI scientists like Marvin
Minsky, Craig Reynolds, Roger Schank, Andre LaMothe and many
others. Generation5 also has a comprehensive collection of original
programs, all with source included. Demonstration programs like image
recognizors, number recognizors, cellular automata creators, NLP
demonstrator and more. All programs have an accompanying essay
describing the workings of the programs.
The aim of Generation5 is not only to educate the viewer, but to allow
the viewer to contribute to further other people's knowledge. They can
do this through the discussion boards, voting systems, and soon
through AI Solutions (a scheme to submit code - with a accompanying
monthly competition)."
Yahoo Clubs:
Yahoo maintains a number of AI clubs. There is the general
AI Group, an online community that discusses AI (a resource
for beginners). Their website is:
http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/artificialintelligencegroup
There is also a resource for amateur robot enthusiasts at:
http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/theroboticsclub
Hubat:
http://www.hubat.com/servlets/search?cmd=b&db=hubat&cat=3.1&st=0
Hubat automatically generates subject hierarchies of links.
Interesting because it had to take some AI to build the engine.
Pentomino Site:
http://home.planetinternet.be/~odettedm
Student run site at T.I.D. Ronse Belgium on searching Pentomino
spaces.

Subject: [5-2] Repositories aimed primarily for researchers
CMU AI Repository:
The CMU Artificial Intelligence Repository was established by
Carnegie Mellon University to contain public domain and freely
distributable software, publications, and other materials of
interest to AI researchers, educators, students, and practitioners.
The AI Repository currently contains more than a gigabyte of
material and is growing steadily.
The AI Repository is accessible from:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/Web/Groups/AI/html/repository.html
Artificial Life Online and the Artificial Life BBS:
Sponsored by MIT Press and the Santa Fe Institute, Artificial Life
Online and the Artificial Life BBS is intended to be a central
information collection and distribution site on the Internet for any
and all aspects of the Artificial Life endeavor.
A special feature of the BBS is a collection of 40 or so local
newsgroups dedicated to a wide variety of topics in Artificial Life.
Artificial Life Online is accessible by World-Wide Web from
Case based reasoning:
http://www.ai-cbr.org/
ai-cbr aims to provide a comprehensive information base to
Case-Based Reasoning academics and commercial developers. Through
the dissemination of information it is hoped a stronger world-wide
community of people interested in Case-Based Reasoning will be
fostered and the commercial use of Case-Based Reasoning will
increase. (added to the FAQ 2/2/00)

Subject: [5-4] Technical Reports available by WWW/FTP
This section lists the anonymous ftp sites for technical reports from
several universities and other organizations. Some of the sites
provide only an online catalog of technical reports, while the rest
make the actual reports available online. The email address listed is
that of the appropriate person to contact with questions about
ordering technical reports.
The main source of tech reports is now from Networked Computer Science
Technical Reference Library or NCSTRL (pronounced "ancestral").
It's home page is: http://www.ncstrl.org/
If that is a problem, you can go directly to:
http://cs-tr.cs.cornell.edu/
Other general locations for technical reports from several
universities include:
wuarchive.wustl.edu:/doc/techreports/ [128.252.135.4]
cs-archive.uwaterloo.ca:/cs-archive/ (see Index for an index)
AKA watdragon.uwaterloo.ca [129.97.140.24]
The uwaterloo archive includes tech reports from the Logic Programming
and Artificial Intelligence Group (LPAIG) of the University of Waterloo.
There is also a WAIS server containing tech report abstracts that can be
searched. To use, create the file ~/wais-sources/cs-techreport-abstracts.src
containing
(:source
:version 3
:ip-address "130.194.74.201"
:ip-name "daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au"
:tcp-port 210
:database-name "cs-techreport-abstracts"
:cost 0.00
:cost-unit :free
:maintainer "wa...@daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au")
and invoke your local wais client. To add to it, email abstracts of
your papers to wa...@rdt.monash.edu.au in the following format:
%TI Title
%AU Author (use multiple %AU lines for multiple authors)
%PU Published In (citation information)
%AV Availability (e.g., ftp reports.adm.cs.cmu.edu:/1992/CMU-CS-92-101.ps)
%OR Organization (see cs-techreport-archives.src for institution codes)
%LT Local title (e.g., tech report number)
%DA Date (and, if you want, %MN Month, %YR Year)
%AB Abstract
If your papers are not available by FTP, you can use a %AV line such as:
%AV mail harry...@cs.cmu.edu

linguistics.archive.umich.edu:/linguistics/papers/. Contact John Lawler
(jla...@umich.edu) or linguistic...@umich.edu for more
information.
The Concurrent Engineering Research Center (CERC) at West Virginia
University has placed ASCII versions of the concurrent
engineering-related abstracts (over 500) that were on CERCnet, ASCII
back issues of the Concurrent Engineering Research in Review journal
(now discontinued), and Postscript copies of CERC technical reports in
the gopher server gopher.cerc.wvu.edu. In addition, many of the CERC
technical reports, including journal articles, symposium papers,
theses, dissertations, and issues of the Concurrent Engineering
Research in Review journal, are available as Postscript versions via
anonymous ftp from
babcock.cerc.wvu.edu:/pub/techReports/ [157.182.44.36]
An index to all the reports, including some that are
available only in hardcopy, is contained in the file "CERC-TR-INDEX".
If you need additional information, contact Mary Carriger, CERC Office
of Information Services, at carr...@cerc.wvu.edu.
The newsgroup comp.doc.techreports is devoted to distributing lists of

The directory /japan/kahaner.reports contains reports on AI in
Japan, among other things, written by Dr. David Kahaner, a
numerical analyst on sabbatical to the Office of Naval
Research-Asia (ONR Asia) in Tokyo from NIST. The reports are not
written in any sort of official capacity, but are quite interesting.

Subject: [5-5] Technical resources for/by undergraduate students
Brainsciences http://www.brainsciences.com
A group of students at Brown University have created a web site to
"provide a forum for undergraduates to publish their work. We feature
reports of original research, book reviews, term papers, and other work
in a similar vein."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: [5-6] Where can I get a machine readable dictionary, thesaurus, and
other text corpora?
Linguistic Data Consortium:
The Linguistic Data Consortium was established to broaden the
collection and distribution of speech and natural language data
bases for the purposes of research and technology development in
automatic speech recognition, natural language processing, and
other areas where large amounts of linguistic data are needed. LDC
corpora are the most commonly used in published research.
Information about the LDC is at http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/
Free:
On unix systems, /usr/dict/words is a fine word list.
Roget's 1911 Thesaurus is available by anonymous FTP from the
Consortium for Lexical Research
clr.nmsu.edu:/CLR/lexica/roget-1911 [128.123.1.12]
It is also available from
src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/literary/collections/project_gutenberg/roget11.txt.Z
An old Webster's dictionary is in /text/dict/{DICT.Z,DICT.INDEX.Z}.
Project Gutenberg also has Roget's 1911 Thesaurus. The Project
Gutenberg archive is at mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu:/pub/etext/. The
Project Gutenberg archive collects public domain electronic books. For more
information, write to Michael S. Hart, Professor of Electronic Text,
Executive Director of Project Gutenberg Etext, Illinois Benedictine
College, 5700 College Road, Lisle, IL 60532 or send email to
ha...@vmd.cso.uiuc.edu.
For people without FTP, Austin Code Works sells floppy disks
containing Roget's 1911 Thesaurus for $40.00. This money helps support
the production of other useful texts, such as the 1913 Webster's dictionary.
The Online Book Initiative maintains a text repository on
ftp.std.com (a public access UNIX system, 617-739-WRLD). See the
README file on obi.std.com:/obi/. For more information, send email to
o...@world.std.com, write to Software Tool & Die, 1330 Beacon Street,
Brookline, MA 02146, or call 617-739-0202.
The CHILDES project at Carnegie Mellon University has a lot of data of
children speaking to adults, as well as the adult written and adult
spoken corpora from the CORNELL project. Contact Brian MacWhinney

A list of 110,000 English words (one per line, in ASCII) is
available in the PD1:<MSDOS.LINGUISTICS> directory on SIMTEL20 as the
files WORDS1.ZIP, WORDS2.ZIP, WORDS3.ZIP, and WORDS4.ZIP. Although the
list is in MS-DOS files, it can easily be used on other machines (but
first you'll have to unzip the files on a DOS machine). The list
includes inflected forms of the words, such as plural nouns and the
-s, -ed, and -ing forms of verbs; thus the number of lexical stems in
the list is considerably smaller than the total number of word forms.
These files are available via FTP from WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL
[192.88.110.20]. SIMTEL20 files are mirrored on wuarchive.wustl.edu.
The Collins English Dictionary encoded as a Prolog fact base is
available from the Oxford Text Archive by anonymous ftp from

A list of homophones from general American English is available by
anonymous ftp from svr-ftp.eng.cam.ac.uk:/comp.speech/data/ as the file
homophones-1.01.txt. To receive the list by email, send mail to
Evan.A...@sil.org. The list was compiled by Tony Robinson.
Sigurd P. Crossland <s...@seuss.vantage.gte.com> has been compiling
a dictionary of English words, including most common American words,
abbreviations, hyphenations, and even incorrect spellings. The most
recent version is available by anonymous ftp from
wocket.vantage.gte.com:/pub/standard_dictionary/dic-0394.tar.gz
The tar file includes 31 text files, one for each word-length from 2
to 32. The compressed tar file takes up just over 4mb of space, and
includes approximately 870,000 words.
WordNet is an English lexical reference system based on current
psycholinguistic theories of human lexical memory. It organizes nouns,
verbs and adjectives into synonym sets corresponding to lexical
concepts. The sets are linked by a variety of relations. Besides being
of scientific interest,
it makes a handy thesaurus. WordNet is available by anonymous ftp from
clarity.princeton.edu:/pub/
If you retrieve a copy of wordnet by ftp, please send mail to
wor...@princeton.edu.

MLnet Online Information Service
In 1988 the Special Interest Group on Machine Learning of the German
Society for Computer Science (GI e.V.) decided to establish a library
of PROLOG implementations of Machine Learning algorithms. By 1994 the
library had a sizable collection of GLPed PROLOG software. The site
has grown, and now, according to the webpage it "offers a growing
collection of ML information, datasets, software and pointers to other
ML resources." The homepage is at:
