Jacob Taylor (Nov 14, 2008 at 13:00)
Talk at php|works/PyWorks (English - US)
Join Jacob Taylor to take a look at how Python and Artificial Intelligence are merging and can be merged. Jacob will show the cooperative hunting Artificial Life project from his masters thesis ported to Python. Come see how it works and what it offers. This project will be implemented as a simple world implementation with a straight forward parallel algorithm with an API for extensions.

I don't think there was any Python in this talk at all. And the concepts felt to me too advanced for someone with no prior exposure to artificial life and cellular automata-type simulations. But if you didn't care about Python, and had some prior knowledge - excellent and interesting material on the AI itself.

The basic premise of the talk was interesting, but it went into a good bit of theoretical depth. No mention of Python aside from the goal of the project being ported to it was mentioned. Bit disappointed, was hoping to see more practical examples of using Python for AI.
