Opis

This text presents both the traditional and the modern aspects of AI and soft computing. It provides an in-depth analysis of mathematical models and algorithms and demonstrates their applications in real world problems. Beginning with the behavioral perspective of human cognition, the text covers the tools and techniques required for its intelligent realization on machines. The author addresses the classical aspects search, symbolic logic, planning, and machine learning in detail and includes the latest research in these areas. He introduces soft computing from first principles. He also covers a number of other leading aspects of AI research, including nonmonotonic and spatio-temporal reasoning, and knowledge acquisition.
