Hello all, I'm in the book acquisition mode and I was wondering if any of you are aware of any seminal works important to the young fellow without a formal education, I may or may not be afforded the opportunity to attend a "proper" university but this stuff is my life. As you will see, there is an AI slant on my research into wearable computing (the more general field of cybernetics too), I want to build intelligent software basically(mnemonic mostly, remember MIThril?). On my list as of late are these: Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming : Case Studies in Common Lisp - Peter Norvig Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (2nd Edition) - Stuart J. Russel= l The Limits of Mathematics : A Course on Information Theory and the Limits of Formal Reasoning (Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science) - Gregory J. Chaitin Mathematical Theory of Communication - Claude E. Shannon An Introduction to Information Theory: Symbols, Signals and Noise - John Robinson Pierce Cybernetics, Second Edition: or the Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine - Norbert Wiener The Elements of Artificial Intelligence Using Common Lisp - Steven L. Tanim= oto These books, just a few of a larger list(with a bit more Common Lisp titles), are not enough to keep me busy for more than a quarter of a year, so the more the better right? :-) Also, of much interest to me are any materials on useful algorithms on anything, but most especially anything regarding artificial intelligence and images; I've been fascinated by computer vision and augmented reality related works since I was 13(1998, about the time I started lurking here under another address). All comments and criticism welcomed, thanks all ;-) _______________________________________________ Wear-Hard mailing listhttp://www.haven.org/mailman/listinfo/wear-hard
