…but I am reading 'The Handbook of Neuroevolution Through Erlang', and I am waiting to learn enough Erlang to jump over to using LFE (Lisp flavored Erlang) mid-book. @mark_l_watson, I started with your 'Common Lisp Modules:..' book, and now I am hooked on AI, NN and Lisp. Thanks! Rob
on “Ceramic – Turn Lisp web applications into desktop apps” ↗Mark Watson's the reason I started down the AI/CL rabbit hole back in 1991 with his "Common LISP Modules: Artificial Intelligence in the Era of Neural Networks and Chaos Theory" book that now retails for over $80 on Amazon! I had started on early neural networks a year or two before, but that book roped…
on “Combine statistical and symbolic artificial intelligence techniques” ↗…eclectic jobs in a predominantly technical or artistic career. I was reading about neural networks and genetic algorithms in the late 80s and programming in Lisp and C. Mark Watson's book (he's on HN) "Common Lisp Modules: Artificial Intelligence in the Era of Neural Networks and Chaos Theory" got me started in coding them rather than just reading the more academic tomes I read in the late 80s. I am glad I didn't just…
on “How do you measure nuclear warhead yield with a PDP-11?” ↗…like the early examples in Koza GP where you give it a few functions to evolve a boolean function. I had started studying neural networks way back in the 80s and hit pay dirt with Mark Watson's 1991 "Common LISP Modules. Artificial Intelligence in the Era of Neural Networks and Chaos Theory", which threw me into NLP, Chaos, and ANNs.
on “Evolutionary algorithm outperforms deep-learning machines at video games” ↗…Clojure is a lot of fun too, and opens up a lot of libraries to use. Dragan Rocks[2] has some great libs for ML/DL Mark Watson is the main culprit for writing his book and having the nerve to publish it: Common LISP Modules: Artificial Intelligence in the Era of Neural Networks and Chaos Theory[3] I had been superficially studying AI then - GAs, ANNS, chaos and complexity - back in the late 80s, and this book introduced…
on “Algorithmic Trading: A Practitioner’s Guide” ↗…having gone through this only a few months ago. Am i able to buy a physical copy / print on demand? Neither Amazon nor LeanPub are giving me the option (I'm UK based). Waterstones will let me POD your "Common Lisp Modules" book but that doesn't look as relevant for me (someone who's fallen for lisp but still very much learning). I do have a kindle but i've become one of those divisive types who now freely writes margin…
on “What good cash-strapped hiring looks like” ↗…umpteen hours copying pages for a sub-standard replica of a book that I can have delivered for $130? I will buy it and do something else with the time saved. I was looking at buying an old Lisp book, 'Common LISP Modules: Artificial Intelligence in the Era of Neural Networks and Chaos Theory'. I already own a copy, but not where I am living for now. It was $3 on Amazon. There was a thread on HN where I mentioned the book,…
