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. |

... control strategy cannot always select the best rule to apply at any stage, there are times where an irrevocable regime is appropriate. For example, if the application of what might turn out to be an inappropriate rule does not foreclose ...
Nils J. Nilsson. The backtracking process is one way in which the control strategy can be tentative. A rule is selected, and if it doesn't lead to a solution, the intervening steps are “forgotten,” and another rule is selected instead ...
... previous State (number ), So we retract the next-to the-last move also and apply “move blank down” to State . Continuation is in the next column. Fig. 1.3A backtracking control strategy applied to the 8-puzzle. 26 PRODUCTION SYSTEMS AND AI.
... control strategy grows such a tree until a database is produced that satisfies the termination condition. In Figure 1.4, we show all applicable rules being applied to every state description. This sort of indecision on the part of the ...
