Hello,
I am new in this Forum.
I d'ont speak very good english....
I Have a big question, I'm begin with Java programming and i'm intersted with AI Algorythm programming but i don't know how i must commence with.
Some one can help me ?
I search for good documentation about AI or Source Code (or a teacher) (I am a french speaker but i understand English)

I think you better take a look on some books on the basics of AI. Some time ago I wrote a diploma project in Java, this was an expert system. It builds frame hierarchy by parsing text file written in some special formal language and produces direct and indirect chaining on this hierarchy based on the user request using Rete algorithm.
So, if you are new to AI search for a books on "frame presentation of knowledge", "direct/indirect chaining", "Rete algorithm". Think it will be enough for those things in AI which are covered by frame presentation of knowledge. Some related questions (I'm not a specialist in them, I've just met some information on them while working on diploma) are: "neural networks", "logic programming".
AI is very broad area, so good luck... ;-)
Here are some books that I would recommend--in no particular order:
Prolog Programming for Artificial Intelligence, I Bratko, Addison-Wesley
Arificial Intelligence and the Design of Expert Systems, G F Luger & W A Stubblefield, Benjamin/Cummings
Artificial Intelligence, J Huageland, Addison-Wesley
Perhaps you could take a look at them and see which one looks the best for you.
Best of luck.
look for Jess (Java Expert System Shell) which is a Clips-like package
AI is a broad subject:
-expert systems
-neuronal networks
-image recognition
-? logical(logique floue en VF)
-learning process (robots that learn to evolve in different environnments)
-other stuff ...
si tu parles Fran鏰is va sur le site du labo du lip6 (jussieu ou bien cea), ils traitent des sujets de l'IA
There are a few good websites that you can look at to see if you are still that interested in the field, without spending money on books.
http://ai-depot.com is good, providing lots of links and articles.
http://ai-junkie.com also provides some articles on Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms and the like.
BGe advised most online source is not necessarily in Java. C++ seems to be popular for online tutorials.

To learn java I suggest a taking course in java and reading some general java books.
For some very interesting AI reading I recommend the Temporal Intelligence web site: http://pages.sbcglobal.net/louis.savain/AI/Temporal_Intelligence.htm

AI = "artificial intelligence"
It's a broad subject, with different meanings in different contexts. Maybe you could summarize it by saying "AI is making a computer think like a human", but that's vague and arguably not accurate. A cynic may say that it's any problem that seems really difficult at the moment. I'm sure several A.I. researchers will now tell me I'm an idiot for suggest either of those definitions. Its market will vary based on the context. I haven't heard of big business banging down doors looking for AI researchers. But last time I checked there's plenty of room for both theoretical research and practical applications. For example, I believe that face recognition falls under AI, and that's something that appears in products being sold currently.
Java isn't related to it, except that you can implement AI projects using java.

I think datamining is an interesting application of "Artificial Intelligense". How do you find useful information in large quantities of data?
pattern recognition, speech recognition, text to speech synthesis, data mining, neural networks, decision trees, nearest neighbor, image processing and recognition, propositional logic, first order logic, minimax, search problems (Eight puzzle problem, Missionary cannibal problem, Eight queens problem), robotics, sonar, light sensors, infrared, bumper sensors, hidden markov models, perceptrons... The list of things goes on. These are keywords you can use to search for "stuff".
http://sourceforge.net has a lot of interesting projects that are free to download and try out.
