My new book: Practical Artificial Intelligence Development With Racket (alien.top)

submitted 1 year ago by MWatson@alien.top to c/lisp

8 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I decided to release my book early, in honor of RacketCon that starts tomorrow morning!

I cover using Racket Scheme for implementing many short AI examples including LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, and Local Hugging Face), vector datastore, NLP, semantic web, Knowledge Graphs, and non-AI utilities.

I am about 60% done with this “live book” (there will never be a second edition: as I add material and make corrections, I simply update the book and the free to read online copy and all eBook formats for purchase get updated).

You can read my live eBook online for free using the link: https://leanpub.com/racket-ai/read

Great! I purchased it right away ☺️ Could you add a chapter how to do it in common lisp?

[–] MWatson@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Which example would you like to see added? One of the examples in my Common Lisp book? (that can be also read free online at https://leanpub.com/lovinglisp/read)

Looks promising. Just FYI: on your Quick Racket Tutorial page (https://leanpub.com/racket-ai/read#leanpub-auto-a-quick-racket-tutorial), your link to Racket Essentials (https://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/) redirects to https://leanpub.com/racket-ai/The%20Racket%20Guide which gives an error: "Something is missing — I'm sorry, but the page you're looking for is no longer here."

Thanks for the heads up. I just tried the linkhttps://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/ on Safari and it worked - I will try other web browsers.

Oddly, it seems to be working today. Must have been a temporary thing.

I fixed it 😎

Off topic - I recently got Mark's 1991 book "AI in the Era of NN and Chaos Theory". Very lovely, a bit in style of Seibel's PCL. (I got it after watching a review on a YouTube channel)

I am not an AI practitioner, but what I learned by skimming struck me as still relevant.

Reading the books make me wish I was retired, and have time to go through the code and the examples. That will have to wait :-)
