GSoC idea: More AI interfaces
Why
The Spring engine is already a popular engine for academic projects to study Artificial Intelligence. This project could enhance Spring's attractiveness to developers and teachers wanting to explore or teach about AI research.
What
The Spring engine's AI interface supports bindings for multiple languages, currently C++, C and java are supported.
Bindings for more languages and/or virtual machines should be added to allow broader AI developing audience (for example: Ruby, Perl, JavaScript, Python, D, Go, Mono, LLVM, Parrot).
Required skills
- Understanding of the Spring AI interface
- Knowledge of C
- Understanding of the target language/virtual machine
Difficulty
Estimated: medium
Technical details
The current C AI interface has been structured so it acts as a bridge between the engine and the various AI language wrappers, since automatic wrapper generators have been tried in the past and found infeasible, manual creation is necessary.
