[net.ai] EURISKO

RNeal@HIS-PHOENIX-MULTICS.ARPA (02/25/84)

I have just begun reading the AI digests (our copy starts Nov 3 1983)
and I am very interested in the one or two transactions dealing with
EURISKO.  Could someone explain what EURISKO does, and maybe give some
background of its development?

On a totally different note, has anyone done any AI work on lower order
intelligence (ie.  that using instinct) such as insects, reptiles, etc.?
Seems they would be easier to model, and I just wondered if anyone had
attempted to make a program which learns they way they do and the things
they do .  I don't know if this belongs in AI or some simulation meeting
(is there one?).
