Introduction to Programming in Lisp
Introduction to Programming in Lisp Supplementary handout for 4th Year AI lectures · D W Murray · Hilary 1991 1 Background There are two widely used languages for AI, viz. Lisp and Prolog. The latter is the language for Logic Programming, but much of the remainder of the work is programmed in Lisp. Lisp is the general language for AI because it allows us to manipulate symbols and ideas in a commonsense manner. Lisp is an acronym for List Processing, a reference to the basic syntax of the language and aim of the language. The earliest list processing language was in fact IPL developed in the mid 1950’s by Simon, Newell and Shaw. Lisp itself was conceived by John McCarthy and students in the late 1950’s for use in the newly-named field of artificial intelligence. It caught on quickly in MIT’s AI Project, was implemented on the IBM 704 and by 1962 to spread through other AI groups. AI is still the largest application area for the language, but the removal of many of the flaws of early versions of the language have resulted in its gaining somewhat wider acceptance. One snag with Lisp is that although it started out as a very pure language based on mathematic logic, practical pressures mean that it has grown. There were many dialects which threaten the unity of the language, but recently there was a concerted effort to develop a more standard Lisp, viz. Common Lisp. Other Lisps you may hear of are FranzLisp, MacLisp, InterLisp, Cambridge Lisp, Le Lisp, ... Some good things about Lisp are: • Lisp is an early example of an interpreted language (though it can be compiled). -

DESCRIPTORS *Computer Programs; *Computer Science; Guides; *Programing; *Programing Languages; *Resource Materials IDENTIFIERS *GLISP Programing Language; National Science Foundation ABSTRACT GLISP is a LISP-based language which provides high-level language features not found in ordinary LISP. The GLISP language is implemented by means of a compiler which accepts GLISP as input and produces ordinary LISP as output. This output can be further compiled to machine code by the LISP compiler. GLISP is available for several ISP dialects, including Interlisp, Maclisp, UCI Lisp, ELISP, Franz Lisp, and Portable Standard Lisp. The goal of GLISP is to allow structured objects to be referenced in a convenient, succinct language and to allow the structures of objects to be changed without changing the code which references the objects. GLISP provides both PASCAL-like and English-like syntaxes; much of the power and brevity of GLISP derive from the compiler features necessary to support the relatively informal, English-like language constructs. Provided in this manual is the documentation necessary for using GLISP. The documentation is presented in the following sections: introduction; object descriptions; reference to objects; GLISP program syntax; messages; context rules and reference; GLISP and knowledge representation languages; obtaining and using GLISP; GLISP hacks (some ways of doing things in GLISP which might not be entirely obvious at first glance); and examples of GLISP object declarations and programs. -

We will point out several important key Full list of author information is features that distinguish languages of the Lisp family from other programming available at the end of the article languages and we will explain how these features can aid researchers in becoming more productive and creating better code. We will also show how these features make these languages ideal tools for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications. We will specifically stress the advantages of domain-specific languages (DSL): languages which are specialized to a particular area and thus not only facilitate easier research problem formulation, but also aid in the establishment of standards and best programming practices as applied to the specific research field at hand. DSLs are particularly easy to build in Common Lisp, the most comprehensive Lisp dialect, which is commonly referred to as the “programmable programming language.” We are convinced that Lisp grants programmers unprecedented power to build increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence systems that may ultimately transform machine learning and AI research in bioinformatics and computational biology. -
An Evaluation of Go and Clojure
An evaluation of Go and Clojure A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Bachelors of Science in Computer Science Fall 2010 Robert Stimpfling Department of Computer Science University of Colorado, Boulder Advisor: Kenneth M. Anderson, PhD Department of Computer Science University of Colorado, Boulder 1. Introduction Concurrent programming languages are not new, but they have been getting a lot of attention more recently due to their potential with multiple processors. Processors have gone from growing exponentially in terms of speed, to growing in terms of quantity. This means processes that are completely serial in execution will soon be seeing a plateau in performance gains since they can only rely on one processor. A popular approach to using these extra processors is to make programs multi-threaded. The threads can execute in parallel and use shared memory to speed up execution times. These multithreaded processes can significantly speed up performance, as long as the number of dependencies remains low. Amdahl‘s law states that these performance gains can only be relative to the amount of processing that can be parallelized [1]. However, the performance gains are significant enough to be looked into. These gains not only come from the processing being divvied up into sections that run in parallel, but from the inherent gains from sharing memory and data structures. Passing new threads a copy of a data structure can be demanding on the processor because it requires the processor to delve into memory and make an exact copy in a new location in memory. Indeed some studies have shown that the problem with optimizing concurrent threads is not in utilizing the processors optimally, but in the need for technical improvements in memory performance [2]. -
An Introduction to Apophysis © Clive Haynes MMXX
Apophysis Fractal Generator An Introduction Clive Haynes Fractal ‘Flames’ The type of fractals generated are known as ‘Flame Fractals’ and for the curious, I append a note about their structure, gleaned from the internet, at the end of this piece. Please don’t ask me to explain it! Where to download Apophysis: go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/apophysis/ Sorry Mac users but it’s only available for Windows. To see examples of fractal images I’ve generated using Apophysis, I’ve made an Issuu e-book and here’s the URL. https://issuu.com/fotopix/docs/ordering_kaos Getting Started There’s not a defined ‘follow this method workflow’ for generating interesting fractals. It’s really a matter of considerable experimentation and the accumulation of a knowledge-base about general principles: what the numerous presets tend to do and what various options allow. Infinite combinations of variables ensure there’s also a huge serendipity factor. I’ve included a few screen-grabs to help you. The screen-grabs are detailed and you may need to enlarge them for better viewing. Once Apophysis has loaded, it will provide a Random Batch of fractal patterns. Some will be appealing whilst many others will be less favourable. To generate another set, go to File > Random Batch (shortcut Ctrl+B). Screen-grab 1 Choose a fractal pattern from the batch and it will appear in the main window (Screen-grab 1). Depending upon the complexity of the fractal and the processing power of your computer, there will be a ‘wait time’ every time you change a parameter. -

A Gallery of De Rham Curves
A Gallery of de Rham Curves Linas Vepstas <[email protected]> 20 August 2006 Abstract The de Rham curves are a set of fairly generic fractal curves exhibiting dyadic symmetry. Described by Georges de Rham in 1957[3], this set includes a number of the famous classical fractals, including the Koch snowflake, the Peano space- filling curve, the Cesàro-Faber curves, the Takagi-Landsberg[4] or blancmange curve, and the Lévy C-curve. This paper gives a brief review of the construction of these curves, demonstrates that the complete collection of linear affine deRham curves is a five-dimensional space, and then presents a collection of four dozen images exploring this space. These curves are interesting because they exhibit dyadic symmetry, with the dyadic symmetry monoid being an interesting subset of the group GL(2,Z). This is a companion article to several others[5][6] exploring the nature of this monoid in greater detail. 1 Introduction In a classic 1957 paper[3], Georges de Rham constructs a class of curves, and proves that these curves are everywhere continuous but are nowhere differentiable (more pre- cisely, are not differentiable at the rationals). In addition, he shows how the curves may be parameterized by a real number in the unit interval. The construction is simple. This section illustrates some of these curves. 2 2 2 2 Consider a pair of contracting maps of the plane d0 : R → R and d1 : R → R . By the Banach fixed point theorem, such contracting maps should have fixed points p0 and p1. Assume that each fixed point lies in the basin of attraction of the other map, and furthermore, that the one map applied to the fixed point of the other yields the same point, that is, d1(p0) = d0(p1) (1) These maps can then be used to construct a certain continuous curve between p0and p1. -

The Emergence of Gravitational Wave Science: 100 Years of Development of Mathematical Theory, Detectors, Numerical Algorithms, and Data Analysis Tools
BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 53, Number 4, October 2016, Pages 513–554 http://dx.doi.org/10.1090/bull/1544 Article electronically published on August 2, 2016 THE EMERGENCE OF GRAVITATIONAL WAVE SCIENCE: 100 YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICAL THEORY, DETECTORS, NUMERICAL ALGORITHMS, AND DATA ANALYSIS TOOLS MICHAEL HOLST, OLIVIER SARBACH, MANUEL TIGLIO, AND MICHELE VALLISNERI In memory of Sergio Dain Abstract. On September 14, 2015, the newly upgraded Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) recorded a loud gravitational-wave (GW) signal, emitted a billion light-years away by a coalescing binary of two stellar-mass black holes. The detection was announced in February 2016, in time for the hundredth anniversary of Einstein’s prediction of GWs within the theory of general relativity (GR). The signal represents the first direct detec- tion of GWs, the first observation of a black-hole binary, and the first test of GR in its strong-field, high-velocity, nonlinear regime. In the remainder of its first observing run, LIGO observed two more signals from black-hole bina- ries, one moderately loud, another at the boundary of statistical significance. The detections mark the end of a decades-long quest and the beginning of GW astronomy: finally, we are able to probe the unseen, electromagnetically dark Universe by listening to it. In this article, we present a short historical overview of GW science: this young discipline combines GR, arguably the crowning achievement of classical physics, with record-setting, ultra-low-noise laser interferometry, and with some of the most powerful developments in the theory of differential geometry, partial differential equations, high-performance computation, numerical analysis, signal processing, statistical inference, and data science. -
