I also find AI very interesting. During an expert systems uni course a while ago we looked at several very 'budget' expert system generation utilities such as 'First Class', 'Level 5' and probably a better one 'Prolog' etc.. they each cost tens of thousands of dollars in most cases, but are very primitive for tackling REAL issues.

Perhaps expert system development could be an option. There are several AI modules around but I doubt any from what I have seen can provide full expert system generation or perhaps trained and untrained neural network creation, jNeural looks like it might one day - but not yet.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
