The UNH AI Group

 

This wiki is for sharing information among folks at the University of New Hampshire doing research in artificial intelligence and robotics.  There is a separate page with overview information about AI at UNH and another page with some information about robotics at UNH.

 

If you are at UNH and interested in AI and robotics, you should consider joining our mailing list and coming to our weekly meetings. Previous experience in AI is not required! Students can get independent study credit for their research, and there is extensive support available for undergrads from the UROP office, both term-time and over the summer. Note that you don't have to already have a topic in mind. Free free to email Wheeler for details on AI and UNH.

AI Literature

Google Scholar and plain Google- Most researchers make their papers available on their web pages.

DBLP often has little icons that link to papers 

JAIR - an excellent on-line journal

AIJ - UNH has on-line access.  Hardcopy issues from 1995-2007 should be in the library and older ones can be retrieved from storage.

AAAI Digital Library - AAAI and some other proceedings (eg, ICAPS, AIPS), as well as AI Magazine (AIMag access is for AAAI members only). After you drill down to a particular abstract, click on the title to get the full paper.

IJCAI - all proceedings on-line in searchable PDF (some older papers are scanned poorly, though) 

ICAPS - pointers to ICAPS, AIPS, and ECP papers.

NIPS - all proceedings on-line and searchable

AAMAS - 2002- available on-line (some via ACM DL)

ACM Portal

Some on-line AI-related books

also check under /home/aifs2/group/papers on the AI machines for recent IJCAI, AAAI, and ICAPS proceedings

Our research is possible because of the support of U.S. taxpayers, via NSF, DARPA, and UNH.  Thank you!
