Artificial Intelligence Modern Approach - Recommended AI Book
There are number of books written in the field of artificial intelligence. Artificial Intelligence Modern Approach is one of the best books written for the field of artificial intelligence and the book is extensively used in the universities.
The book Artificial Intelligence Modern Approach was written by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig. This book has been crowned as the leading text book for the field of artificial intelligence. Currently it is reported that the book is used in thousand one hundred universities over hundred and two countries. I'm pretty sure that this is an amazing achievement for a text book. Artificial Intelligence Modern Approach has eight parts explaining the modern approaches of artificial intelligence.
Part one simply introduces the field of artificial intelligence to the students. Since the book is designed for undergraduates, the readers need not to have any knowledge of artificial intelligence. In addition to that Artificial Intelligence Modern Approach book introduces intelligence agents in the first part.
In the part two, artificial intelligence problem solving is introduced. Although someone will feel that it is too early to talk about artificial intelligence problem solving, this chapter simply explains the approaches used for problem solving without going to deeper discussions.
Part three to part seven of Artificial Intelligence Modern Approach is about different areas of artificial intelligences. Part three talks about knowledge and reasoning in a broader sense. In this chapter, much emphasis has been put on first-order logic and related problems.
Artificial intelligence planning is the next chapter in the book. Even in the real world of artificial intelligence, not enough emphasis is given for artificial intelligence planning. Therefore, dedicating an entire chapter for planning is a great move as it fulfills the knowledge requirement of the students.
Part five is entirely dedicated for uncertainty related problems. Uncertain knowledge and reasoning is what is under focus in this chapter. In addition to that, this chapter introduces a great deal of knowledge about simple and complex decision making in artificial intelligence.
Since machine learning is one of the important topics of artificial intelligence, Artificial Intelligence Modern Approach has dedicated the next part for machine learning. By giving the students the full picture of machine learning, this chapter talks about all sorts of machine learning activities.
Part seven is all about robotics. I think the authors have kept the most interesting part to the end of the book, just for keeping the students interested in the book. This is the part where the robotics is discussed in detail. At last, the book ends at part eight with the conclusions.
