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. |

... cost path over the edges of a graph containing n nodes such that the path visits each of the n nodes precisely once. Many puzzles have this same general character. Another example is the 8-queens problem, where the problem is to place ...
... cost to each move and then attempt to find a solution having minimal cost. These elaborations can easily be handled by methods we describe later on. 1.1.2. THE BASIC PROCEDURE The basic production system algorithm for solving a problem ...

... costs of a production system into two major categories: rule application costs and control costs. A completely uninformed control system incurs only a small control strategy cost because merely arbitrary rule selection need not depend on ...
... cost of an AI production system is the combined rule application cost and control strategy cost. Part of the art of designing efficient AI systems is deciding how to balance these two costs. In any given problem, optimum production ...
