Principles of Artificial IntelligenceA classic introduction to artificial intelligence intended to bridge the gap between theory and practice, Principles of Artificial Intelligence describes fundamental AI ideas that underlie applications such as natural language processing, automatic programming, robotics, machine vision, automatic theorem proving, and intelligent data retrieval. Rather than focusing on the subject matter of the applications, the book is organized around general computational concepts involving the kinds of data structures used, the types of operations performed on the data structures, and the properties of the control strategies used. Principles of Artificial Intelligenceevolved from the author's courses and seminars at Stanford University and University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and is suitable for text use in a senior or graduate AI course, or for individual study. |

In our example , these steps produce the proof tree shown in Figure 5 . 7 with the
clause AT ( FIDO , SCHOOL ) at the root . This clause , then , is the appropriate
answer to the problem . We note that the answer statement has a form similar to ...

The constant A could have been a variable without invalidating the proof shown
in Figure 5 . 12 . It can be shown ( Luckham and Nilsson ( 1971 ) ] that in the
answer - extracting process it is correct to replace any Skolem functions in the ...
