David L. Poole, Alan K. MackworthCambridge University PressEdition: 2, 9/25/2017EAN 9781107195394, ISBN10: 110719539XHardcover, 820 pages, 26.2 x 18.3 x 3.8 cmLanguage: EnglishArtificial intelligence, including machine learning, has emerged as a transformational science and engineering discipline. Artificial Intelligence: Foundations of Computational Agents presents AI using a coherent framework to study the design of intelligent computational agents. By showing how the basic approaches fit into a multidimensional design space, readers learn the fundamentals without losing sight of the bigger picture. The new edition also features expanded coverage on machine learning material, as well as on the social and ethical consequences of AI and ML. The book balances theory and experiment, showing how to link them together, and develops the science of AI together with its engineering applications. Although structured as an undergraduate and graduate textbook, the book's straightforward, self-contained style will also appeal to an audience of professionals, researchers, and independent learners. The second edition is well-supported by strong pedagogical features and online resources to enhance student comprehension.Part I. Agents in the WorldWhat Are Agents and How Can They Be Built?1.
