Im a final year university student who is doing a license plate recognition system as my final year project. I want to know when recognizing the characters what suits the best, is it artificial nurel networks(ANN) or optical character recognition(OCR) using pattern matching? Or is there any easy method I can use? All the answered welcome...
As a pet project/learning experience (no this is not homework) I'm working on software to recognize barcodes from a photograph. I'm not looking for software or a library that does it - instead I'm using this as a learning exercise that I'm blogging about and will post up on Codeplex. I have code that successfully recognizes EAN13 barco...
Hello. I'm looking for a book(s) about practical application of machine learning, artificial intelligence and neural networks to stock market trading (automated trading or as an assistance to human, mostly automatic trading). I'm not afraid of "heavy reading". What I'm interested in: 0. How can the problem (how to achieve goal dependin...

I am developing a study for child psychology and would need to analyse thousands of childrens drawings, I would like to automate where possible through edge tracing etc. to guess the content of the picture comparing it to a library of objects... sun, house, tree, dog, etc. is it possible? ...
I have a course in my current semester in which I'm required to do a project on application of AI. I have decided to do this on game AI. I have 2 basic ideas: implementing an FPS bot(s) or implementing soccer AI. I'm quiet a noob at AI right now, I've implemented basic pathfinding algos (A*, etc), and have studied about Finite state ma...
I was always fascinated by the topic of Machine learning until I decided to teach myself how to do it. So I came through a course provided by Stanford published online. However I was shocked of the amount of math it contained. So what is the mathematical background I should have to be able to understand the algorithms of machine learning...
I'm writing a program which solves a 24-puzzle (5x5 grid) using two heuristic. The first uses how many blocks the incorrect place and the second uses the Manhattan distance between the blocks current place and desired place. I have different functions in the program which use each heuristic with an A* and a greedy search and compares th...
I'm about to take a course in AI and I want to practice before. I'm using a book to learn the theory, but resources and concrete examples in any language to help with the practice would be amazing. Can anyone recommend me good sites or books with plenty of examples and tutorials ? Thanks ! Edit: My course will deal with Perceptrons, N...
I am looking for research (published) on AI techniques for reading cookbook recipes. Recipes are a very limited domain that might be doable in a natural language recognition engine with some degree of accuracy. I have in mind writing a program that would allow copy/pasting a recipe from a web browser into the AI and having it determine ...
I apologize if this question is a little broad. Hopefully your answers will help me narrow it down to more meaningful questions. I'm experienced in software engineering and had a recent conversation with a friend who suggested that electrical engineering is very software driven these days. I'm trying to improve my understanding of th...
Hello all, I am trying to score similarity between posts from social networks, but didn't find any good algorithms for that, thoughts? I just tried Levenshtein, JaroWinkler, and others, but those one are more used to compare texts without sentiments. In posts we can get one text saying "I really love dogs" and an other saying "I really...
It appears that some electronics have programmed within them what's called an "alarm subsystem". What exactly is this subsystem? what does it tie to? what does it do? Is it known by any other name? If I were to program one, in general what would be the pseudo logic of it? Please don't mind going heavy on the details as I'm really new to ...
What is the state of the art of algorithms to play the game of Go ? Which articles (describing algorithms) are best to read ? There is a StackExachge site devoted to Go, but not enough people commited to ask the question there. ...
Hello. I'd like to learn how to program my own Twitter bot from scratch. I'd like to start simple, maybe a bot that picks up a word and sends a response to anyone that says that certain word. Then, I'd like to be able to build a bot up that will automatically post things, maybe 2 times a day. Finally, I'd like to be able to build bots th...
I'm currently a second-year undergraduate computer engineering student, and I'm a big fan of artificial intelligence. I've done formal research in nanotech, but in graduate school, I don't think that research experience will ultimately help me in what I want to do. So, here are the questions I pose: What are some good problems to ex...
Hello all, I've trained a system on SVM,that is given a question,whether the webpage is a good one for answering this question. The feature I selected are "Term frequency in webpage","Whether term matches with the webpage title", "number of images in the webpage", "length of the webpage","is it a wikipedia page?","the position of this ...
Hello all, I want to get some suggestions for my "find similar people" algorithm :). I have one database where I store the following entities: Person, article, keywords. So for each person I have a collection of keywords (with the number of mentions by the person) that have been compiled from person's articles keywords. So I need to get...
I'd like to write an application, which would imitate a player in an online game. About the game: it is a strategy, where you can: train your army (you have to have enough resources, then click on a unit, click train) build buildings (mines, armories, houses,...) attack enemies (select a unit, select an enemy, click attack) transport ...
Hello all, I am trying to use/implement a vector space model algorithm in Java to get the similarity score between two people based on its keywords. So I have the following classes: Person - Has a List of keywords; Keyword - String text; Integer score; The keyword score is the number of mentions the person has made to the keyword. ...
