Open-source repository for Peter Norvig's classic textbook 'Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming: Case Studies in Common Lisp', including the full text in markdown/epub/pdf formats and all accompanying Common Lisp source code. It covers classic AI programming paradigms such as search, logic programming, expert systems, and natural language processing.

Use cases

• learn classic AI programming techniques in Common Lisp
• study search algorithms, logic programming, and unification grammars
• read a free ebook version of Norvig's PAIP textbook
• explore implementations of Eliza, GPS, and expert systems
• learn Lisp through worked AI case studies
• find source code examples from the PAIP book

When to choose

• you want to learn Common Lisp through substantive AI programming examples
• you're studying the history and foundations of symbolic AI
• you want a free, legal copy of the PAIP textbook and its code
• you're interested in classic techniques like Prolog interpreters, expert systems, and NLP grammars

When to avoid

• you need modern deep learning or machine learning methods
• you want a maintained software library rather than a book and code samples
• you're not comfortable reading 1990s-era Lisp code
