I would like to contribute to OpenCog. What aspects of AI and ML do I need to know to contribute; or can I just get started? I wanted some guidance.
it all depends on what you'd like to do, if you desire to go to the bottom of it I think knowing probability and logic (say predicate logic) is very good. Having a broad culture about AI helps too, including theoretical stuff like Solomonoff induction. Ben and Linas would probably tell you that category theory is helpful :-) (I know too little about it and I've started reading "Category Theory for the Siences"). More directly linked to the OpenCog design you may want to read https://www.amazon.com/Engineering-General-Intelligence-Part-Cognitive/dp/9462390266/ if you'd rather not spend money on it we can provide you an electronic draft that is essentially like the book. The wiki itself is full of information, browse it at will.
Regarding programming languages, the core is in C++ and it supports Scheme, Python and Haskell as binding languages.
You don't necessarily need to know all that to contribute though, reading the wiki and giving your feedback, correcting when you can is very helpful.
