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. |

... proving, intelligent data retrieval systems, etc. The major difficulty with this approach is that these application areas are now so extensive, that each could, at best, be only superficially treated in a book of this length. Instead, I ...
... should facilitate understanding specific AI systems (including strengths and weaknesses) and should also prove a sound basis for designing new systems. AI has also embraced the larger scientific goal of constructing PROLOGUE.
... proved first in order to help prove the main theorem. A skilled mathematician uses what he might call judgment (based on a large amount of specialized knowledge) to guess accurately about which previously proven theorems in a subject ...
... proving problems. For these reasons, theorem proving is an extremely important topic in the study of AI methods. 0.1.5. ROBOTICS The problem of controlling the physical actions of a mobile robot might not seem to require much ...
... proving that a given program achieves a stated result. The latter is called program verification. Many automatic programming systems produce a verification of the output program as an added benefit. One of the important contributions of ...
