Ask HN: What are some good, freely available / cheap readings on AI algorithms?

2 pointstomdell2 comments

I've been getting tunnel vision while working on a big project over the past few months, and I'm looking for something I can read and work on in 30min - hour chunks once a day to progress my understanding in another area. Any suggestions would be helpful!

You could always go "old school" and read from the old MIT "AI Series" papers. This stuff goes back to basically the very, very beginning of AI:

Also consider that the IJCAI (International Joint Conference on AI) publishes all of their past proceedings online. Of course, going to that site is like drinking from a firehose and I can't give you a good curated list of the best papers to read, but maybe somebody else has such a list.

If you want a book with some interesting stuff in it, here's one for you:

You might also look at the "classics" section on AITopics.org: http://aitopics.org/classics

Unfortunately some of the links are to pay-walled papers, so not too helpful if you aren't looking to spend money.

Thanks for the recommendations!
