Much of the material in 6.034 is reinforced by on-line artificial-intelligence demonstrations develop by us or otherwise available on the web. Those demonstrations developed by us are provided via the easy-to-use Java Web Start mechanism, which comes with the Java Runtime Environment, the so-called JRE.

The demonstrations illustrate the following ideas:

  • Blocks world manipulation (after Winograd)
  • Search: depth-first, breadth-first, hill-climbing, beam, branch and bound, A*
  • Games: mini-max, alpha-beta
  • Genetic algorithms: crossover, mutation, fitness
  • Constraint satisfaction: drawing analysis (after Waltz, using Huffman labels)
  • Domain reduction: map coloring, resource allocation
  • Biological mimetics: genetic algorithms, self-organizing maps, cross-modal clustering
  • Learning: nearest neighbors, support vector machines, lattice learning, boosting

So, if you don't have the Java Runtime Enviornment installed, you should install it first. Then, you can run the demonstrations.

Note that starting on 2 October 2014, a new version, which requires Java8 is available that includes a demonstration of Id3 identification trees small improvements here an there.
