Editorial Review Product Description Comprised of critically acclaimed essays by the world's leading experts on each topic in the series, these collections will become definitive texts on crucial issues of our technological times. The authoritative and prestigious reputation of Scientific American puts these books at the top of any science fan's list. Called AI by followers and practitioners, the field of Artificial Intelligence is dedicated to the proposition that human brains are nothing more than machines, albeit extremely complicated ones, whose abilities will someday be duplicated-and surpassed-by computers. This collection of essays discusses the wide spectrum of knowledge compiled on the pursuit of this elusive goal. It includes a fascinating overview of the subject by Douglas B. Lenat, the president of Cycorp, Inc., and a forward-thinking essay on "The Rise of Robots" by Hans Marvec, the principal research scientists at the robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, which conservatively estimates that by 2050, robot brains based on computers will start rivaling human intelligence. Other articles include "Here's Looking at You," which profiles a robot who learns about itself and its environment through trial and error, as well as a profile on Marvin L. Minsky, the mastermind behind Artificial Intelligence. The book-like the entire series-is targeted to intelligent readers who want to expand their understanding of complex scientific subjects and contains essays from top scientists working in the field. Like the magazine, the book encompasses a spectrum of innovation through expert-authored articles that demonstrate the convergence of science, technology, and the world economy, challenging readers with fresh, new ideas and empowering them to make smart, strategic decisions.

Required reading for 21st century humans!
Mind-Children and Smart Refrigerators All the authors are well-known AI experts who have put in their time at the lab bench - or computer keyboard - and are talking from hands-on experience. Every piece meets Scientific American's standard of good, clear English without `talking down' to readers. The enthusiasm and pragmatism of these scientists comes through clearly. At around 150 pages, this e-book was easy to read in one sitting, a perfect length for a domestic flight. ... Read more |
4. Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming: Case Studies in Common Lisp by Peter Norvig | |

list price: US$98.95 -- used & new: US$73.84 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 1558601910 Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description Paradigms of AI Programming is the first text to teach advanced Common Lisp techniques in the context of building major AI systems. By reconstructing authentic, complex AI programs using state-of-the-art Common Lisp, the book teaches students and professionals how to build and debug robust practical programs, while demonstrating superior programming style and important AI concepts. The author strongly emphasizes the practical performance issues involved in writing real working programs of significant size.Chapters on troubleshooting and efficiency are included, along with a discussion of the fundamentals of object-oriented programming and a description of the main CLOS functions. This volume is an excellent text for a course on AI programming, a useful supplement for general AI courses and an indispensable reference for the professional programmer. Customer Reviews (8)
Amazing book about designing programs
One of the Best
Norvig's Corollary to Greenspun's Tenth Law of Programming
An Excellent Reference on WHY to write good Lisp a) A historical study of Artificial Intelligence, with USABLE examples of code, or b) A book presenting techniques for programming in Common Lisp. As a reference about Common Lisp, it is certainly lacking, but this is no great problem when both the Common Lisp HyperSpec and Steele's book are readily available in electronic form.It provides something more important: SIGNIFICANT examples, and significant discussions on WHY you would use various Lisp idioms, and, fairly often, discussions on HOW pieces of Common Lisp are likely to be implemented.Its discussion of an implementation of the LOOP macro, for instance, provides a very different point of view than the "references" to LOOP.(Contrast too with Graham's books, which largely deprecate the use of LOOP.) From an AI perspective, it is also very good, providing WORKING SAMPLES for a whole lot of the historically significant AI problems, including Search, PLANNER, symbolic computation, and the likes. It would be interesting to see parallel works from the following sorts of perspectives: - The same sorts of AI problems solved using functional languages (e.g. - ML, Haskell), to allow contrasting the use of those more modern languages.Being more "purely functional" has merits; such languages commonly lack macros, which is something of a disadvantage. - The use of CL to grapple with some other sorts of applications, notably random access to data [e.g. - databases] and rendition of output in HTML/SGML/XML [e.g. - web server].
Not advanced, but good and vast The programming itself is rather basic, and very straightforward.In many places an advanced programmer would have avoided a global variable, unified code through the use of higher-order functions, had functions communicate through a shared local environment, created a lazy list, you name it. The author avoids most of these more advanced approaches in order to present the ideas behind the approaches without being sidetracked into programming technique issues, and that is the correct choice for this book.Even as it is, there is already the duplicity of teaching Common Lisp and teaching AI programming. That being said, the code in general is not bad at all, even though I wouldn't want my students to learn CL programming from it.The author has simply bent down to the level of, a good C programmer, and worked from there.His main intention being to teach AI programming approaches, he has spent much less time to raise the programming level of his audience. Knowing the author's level of Lisp programming, I can't wait to see a book by his hand on how to use abstraction as an organising principle in programming. ... Read more |

Rethinking Fraud Aalysis
Nauseating
Can't get worse
Miserable AI book - avoid at all costs The examples in Winston are atrocious.The main example in the backpropagation chapter is some kind of classification network with a bizarre topography.This example is so trivial and weird that it totally fails to illustrate the strengths of backpropagation.The explanations of generalization and overfitting in backprop training are awful. The only chapter of this book that is not an unmitigated pedagogical disaster is the chapter on genetic algorithms, although better introductions exist (e.g. Melanie Mitchell). A further annoyance is the placement of all the exercises at the end of the book instead of the end of the chapters to which they correspond. Avoid this book.It is truly horrible, and vastly superior books on AI are readily available at comparable prices.

especially good for A.I.
Why is this the the best textbook on prolog?
Great book for learning AI with Prolog, but.... This is not a good first book on Prolog. If you are new to Prolog and Logic Programming, you should read 'Art of Prolog' first. Prolog is quite different from other languages, and you'll need some time to get it. This book doesn't give you that time: after briefly introducing the basic concepts, Bratko dives at breakneck speed into recursion and list processing. Don't get me wrong, this is a magnificent book on how to do AI with Prolog, but it shouldn't be your first Prolog book. It's an excellent second book.
An excellent introduction to Prolog and concepts in AI I recommend this book to everyone who wants to learn Prolog. I would also recommend the readers to use a Prolog system to work out the examples and exercises as s/he goes through every chapter. A DEC10 Prolog system (like SICStus Prolog) would probably be the best companion for this book.
I thought the book could be better |

Good, but somewhat outdated
A good introduction book for grown-ups
A Little dated, but very good introduction
Great read, excellent price This book basically goes into A.I research and leaves alot of the philosophical issues at a minimum.Basically you can look at this as a real text book about the subject of A.I.By my expirience, it isn't easy to find outside of the popular science market. The topics that this book covers is extensive.The first few chapters go into subjects like Game Theory, and the problem-state models of A.I.He also gives a very extensive overview of the contruction of the human brain and its paralells to finite state machines.What I found particularly interesting was his coverage of many Turning Machines.Later, the author takes you into more rigorous examples dealing with problems of Theorem proving.And definitely one of the most interesting chapters was his coverage of natural languages. I have owned this book for about 2 years, and although I do not read it faithfully everyday, I do find myself reading this book extensively for periods of 2-3 months.The material will demand a great deal of work on the behalf of the reader.As this book deals with many abstract concepts in mathematics that can be confusing to the untrained reader.Admitedly, i had to stop reading this book for a little while and take 4 months to get to a functional level of linear algebra, before I could fully comprehend the tranformation he showed chapter 6. This is a must buy for anyone who wants to get their feet wet in the field of A.I.And with such a small price tag, you really cant lose.
Great Introduction and not only that. |

Editorial Review Product Description Affect and Artificial Intelligence is the first in-depth analysis of affect and intersubjectivity in the computational sciences. Elizabeth Wilson makes use of archival and unpublished material from the early years of AI (1945-70) until the present to show that early researchers were more engaged with questions of emotion than many commentators have assumed. She documents how affectivity was managed in the canonical works of Walter Pitts in the 1940s and Turing in the 1950s, in projects from the 1960s that injected artificial agents into psychotherapeutic encounters, in chess-playing machines from the 1940s to the present, and in the Kismet (sociable robotics) project at MIT in the 1990s. Elizabeth A. Wilson is a professor in the Department of Women's Studies at Emory University. She is the author of Neural Geographies: Feminism and the Microstructure of Cognition and Psychosomatic: Feminism and the Neurological Body. "Original and beautifully written." -Lucy Suchman, Lancaster University "An elegantly written, thoroughly engaging, and absolutely compelling history of the role of emotions and affect in thought about, and design of, 'artificial intelligence.'" -Robert Mitchell, Duke University |

Editorial Review Product Description Creating robust artificial intelligence is one of the greatest challenges for game developers. The commercial success of a game is often dependent upon the quality of the AI, yet the engineering of AI is often begun late in the development process and is frequently misunderstood. In this book, Ian Millington brings extensive professional experience to the problem of improving the quality of AI in games. A game developer since 1987, he was founder of Mindlathe Ltd., at the time the largest specialist AI company in gaming. Ian shows how to think about AI as an integral part of game play. He describes numerous examples from real games and explores the underlying ideas through detailed case studies. He goes further to introduce many techniques little used by developers today. The book's CD-ROM contains a library of C++ source code and demonstration programs, and provides access to a website with a complete commercial source code library of AI algorithms and techniques.

Editorial Review Product Description Artificial Intelligence is one of the most rapidly evolving subjects within the computing/engineering curriculum, with an emphasis on creating practical applications from hybrid techniques. Despite this, the traditional textbooks continue to expect mathematical and programming expertise beyond the scope of current undergraduates and focus on areas not relevant to many of today's courses. Negnevitsky shows students how to build intelligent systems drawing on techniques from knowledge-based systems, neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation and now also intelligent agents. The principles behind these techniques are explained without resorting to complex mathematics, showing how the various techniques are implemented, when they are useful and when they are not. No particular programming language is assumed and the book does not tie itself to any of the software tools available. However, available tools and their uses will be described and program examples will be given in Java. The lack of assumed prior knowledge makes this book ideal for any introductory courses in artificial intelligence or intelligent systems design, while the contempory coverage means more advanced students will benefit by discovering the latest state-of-the-art techniques.

Undergraduate Textbook
explains key ideas with minimal maths complications
A very good introductory text book for intelligent systems
Excellent Treatment of Complex Topics Actually, this book does contain some of the same complex material that Dr. Negnevitsky accuses others for having with one exception:He does a terrific job in simplifying the complex theories behind them. At first, when I flipped through the pages, huge equations and matrices jumped at me.My first impression was that this book was for serious computer scientists or mathematicians.I was looking for simpler material for my beginning AI students.I started reading the preface and found the argument interesting. I speed-read through the first chapter and found the history of the field presented in a concise and a very well laid out fashion.I jumped into reading the beginning of chapter 2 and I was amazed at how well Dr. Negnevitsky progressed from basic ideas to more and more complex layers.With other similar books, the reader will need many basic theory books (mathematics, basic AI...) in order to understand the topics.Dr. Negnevitsky provides all the basics necessary.This same strategy is repeated for the remaining chapters. I acquired the book and read it from beginning to end.I found the material consistently well presented.One warning: this book does get very technical and complex in many chapters.However, the material in each of those chapters is progressively laid out.Even if a reader stops in the middle of some chapters, there is still a lot to gain from the experience of reading the entire book.I highly recommend it to anyone interested in really understanding beyond just keywords and delve into the internals of AI topics. Thanks to Dr. Negnevitsky for a great book.
Great Introductory Book on Soft Computing My interest was to get a book that keeps the daunting mathematical jargons in Fuzzy Logic (contained in several other books) minimal, while presenting the concepts. I fell in love with this book, that I had to run through all the pages as if it's a novel. This book really demonstrates that the whole idea behind intelligent systems are simple and straightforward. You do not need another teacher. He presented algorithms (e.g. back-propagation)in a very simple to understand manner. Dr. Michael Negnevitsky, the author, must be a great teacher. It's a handy and nice book. I strongly recommend it. ... Read more |
