Product Description
From Amazon
Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach introduces basic ideas in artificial intelligence from the perspective of building intelligent agents, which the authors define as "anything that can be viewed as perceiving its environment through sensors and acting upon the environment through effectors." This textbook is up-to-date and is organized using the latest principles of good textbook design. It includes historical notes at the end of every chapter, exercises, margin notes, a bibliography, and a competent index. Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach covers a wide array of material, including first-order logic, game playing, knowledge representation, planning, and reinforcement learning.

Format:Hardcover
i got this book from my local bookstore. This book covers most topics in AI. It is more comprehensive than most AI book i have read. However i dislike the writing style employed in this book. The author needs to refine his writing style and review the contents to include more interesting examples and some humor. It is not wise to have long paragraphs in thick books. The author should also include pratical examples of AI applications and some AI codes instead of general theories. Still a great book !
By D Ray
Format:Hardcover
Artificial Intelligence: A modern approach is definitely the most comprehensive book on AI I have come across. The latest edition covers everything from KR & Machine Learning to Robotics and Statistical learning, and has new chapters on Constraint Satisfaction Problems and Planning.
Artificial Intelligence has diverse branches and it's hard to see the correlations between them. This book manages to take a very innovative "agent" approach and tries to show some parallels between very disparate methods.
In my opinion, each branch of AI has made great progress by itself but more work needs to be done in trying to combine the different approaches together and create more comprehensive systems. The book does a very good job by making all these different approaches accessible in one volume.
This book also covers each topic in depth as well. Interested readers can always look at the exhaustive list of references for further reading. I have seen a variety of people use this book: from professors who have been in the fields for many years, to my friends in humanities who are just curious to know what AI really is. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in AI.
