General Discussion / Re: Start an AI from scratch

Thanks to everyone who answered me, I knew this was the perfect place to exchange informations and ideas like these!

Thanks particularly to Art, your post was full of useful informations. I will explore the world of custom brains, but meanwhile I'd like to start an AI all by myself, like a personal challenge.
Does anyone know where I can find some up-to-date books or any links in which machine learning and AI in general are pratically thorough? Hopefully not in a theoretical way, but with examples for really understanding this difficult field.

p.s. Yeah, the goal is to make it able to hold a decent conversation, Art

Thanks again!

General Discussion / Start an AI from scratch

« on: January 04, 2016, 05:17:12 am »

Hello (world),
I'm a computer engineering student, and I've found this forum since I was looking for informations about Artificial Intelligence.
Hal Assistant looks amazing! I'm gonna buy soon the full version for exploring the features.
However, I wanted to ask, if I wanted to start building an AI just like Hal, but from the very beginning, (not necessarly with a graphic interface, only the structure, the engine inside it) what should I start with? With which programming language? How do I expand his way of thinking so that is not simply based on pre programmed phrases?
Thanks in advance for the answers!
