Artificial Intelligence/Beginning Prolog

Question
Dear Chuck, I want to begin programming in Prolog. I wonder if you
can tell me what would be a good version to use that I could begin
with. I use Mac OSX. Hope this email finds you well.

Answer
I strongly suggest that you NOT program in prolog.  This is an antiquated language that no serious commercial programmer uses.  This is an 'Acedemic' language used by colledge professors that don't know any better.   Use C++ or better yet, .Net languages like C#.  Java would be ok, since you are on the MAC.

Expertise

I can answer questions about speech recognition and natural language understanding. I am particulary strong in knowedge based natural langauge techniques. I cannot answer questions about robotics, nueral nets, prolog, or vision recognition - just speech and natural language.

Experience

I have spent 25 years developing natural language software products. I have never developed speech systems, but I have developed sophisticated interfaces from natural language to speech. I have been working with speech recognition systems also for 25 years.
