Summary:
- Written by professors David Poole and Alan Mackworth, this comprehensive textbook from Cambridge University Press presents artificial intelligence through the framework of designing intelligent computational agents.
- At over 680 pages, it is intended to introduce both junior-level undergraduate students and first-year graduate students to the fundamental concepts and techniques underlying AI.
Detailed Overview:
- The textbook provides a unified treatment of AI as the study of building autonomous systems that can act in dynamic environments.
- Early chapters introduce foundational topics like logical agents while later sections cover key concepts and applications including planning, reasoning, machine learning, perception, knowledge representation and language processing.
- Case studies and examples illustrate applying AI principles to solve real problems across domains such as robotics, games, and natural language understanding.
- Students are equipped with tools for modeling cognition, behavior, and problem-solving via its balanced approach linking theory to engineering and research through consistent logical grounding.
