Classic reasoning systems like Loom and PowerLoom vs. more modern systems based on probalistic networks

My current project (for a large health care company) involves three AI components (a semantic network, and reasoning system based on PowerLoom, and a module using probalistic networks).

We are in a hedge our bets mode, basically using three promising approaches - I can not talk too much about the application domain, but it will be useful to see which approaches end up being most useful.

BTW, I have written about this on my regular web blog, but the release of a new version of PowerLoom under liberal open source licensing (that is, commercial use OK) is a great addition to anyone's 'AI toolkit'.

Hi Mark,

Please continue to write about Lisp and AI stuff! :)

It might interest you to know that there has been some preliminary work into methods for automatically determining which computational intelligence architecture/paradigm is best for a given problem (text classification, image processing, or what have you).

I agree with your comments about Allegro Common Lisp: if I had the money I'd probably shell out for a copy. A Mac Pro quad xeon with a nice big cinema monitor and a copy of Allegro CL is the ultimate way to spoil yourself as a programmer right now. :)
