Over the past three weeks, over 250 students at a local middle school have used MILA to explore a recent massive fish kill in Lake Clara Meer. This experiment builds on the pilot study run in the summer of 2012.

PAIP-Python
Python implementations of some of the classic AI programs from Peter Norvig’s fantastic textbook “Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming.”
Visit the main PAIP-Python site here.
This is meant to be a learning resource for beginning AI programmers. Although PAIP is a fantastic book, it is no longer common for students to have a background in Lisp programming, as many universities have replaced Lisp with other languages in introductory programming and introductory artificial intelligence courses. It is my hope that making the programs from PAIP available in a commonly-taught language will provide a useful hands-on resource for beginning AI students.
These programs were written by Daniel Connelly at Georgia Tech as an independent project supervised by Professor Ashok Goel.
