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. |

We see that the problem of finding a sequence of rules transforming one
database into another is equivalent to the problem of finding a path in a graph .
Often it is convenient to assign positive costs to arcs , to represent the cost of
applying the ...

The predicates EQ , EL , and SS can be represented by arcs ; the tail of the arc
leaves the node representing the first argument , and the head of the arc enters
the node representing the second argument . Thus , the expression EL ( GI ...
