AI in Python

November 27th, 2009

While browsing Stack Overflow for AI topics, I found a few good looking AI libraries for Python. I haven’t had a chance to test any of these yet but I’m hoping for good things.

PyBrain – Machine Learning Library

PyEvolve – Genetic Algorithm Framework

Aima-python – Algorithms from Russell and Norvig’s Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach

All three look useful but Aima-python particularly stands out because it’s from the same book I’m reading for my university coursework. Unfortunately none of these libraries seem to be in the Ubuntu 9.10 repositories. I guess it’s time I learnt how to create .deb packages.

Update: I found two more Python libraries.

Opencv – Real time computer vision

PyML – Machine learning framework

I’m more interested in the first three myself but I’m still going to give them a look.

It’s been a while since I tried blogging but I think it’s worth giving it another go. At the very least, maintaining a blog will help my writing and give me a place to save my thoughts and ideas.

I have a feeling writing full length posts will be a challenge after using Twitter and other social networks so this should be extra fun.
