Dive into the world of AI with this comprehensive guide that covers everything from foundational principles to cutting-edge techniques and applications.Key FeaturesComprehensive coverage of AI topics from basics to advancedPractical implementation guides and examplesInsights into the future of AI and its impact on various industriesBook DescriptionThis third edition provides a comprehensive, accessible presentation of AI, including examples, applications, full-color images, and human interest boxes. New chapters on deep learning, AI security, and AI programming keep the content cutting-edge. Topics like neural networks, genetic algorithms, natural language processing, planning, and complex board games are covered. The course starts with an AI overview, moving through uninformed search, intelligent search methods, and game-based strategies. It delves into logic in AI, knowledge representation, production systems, uncertainty in AI, and expert systems. Middle chapters cover machine learning, neural networks, and deep learning. It continues with nature-inspired search methods, natural language processing, and automated planning, ending with robotics and advanced computer games. These AI concepts are crucial for developing sophisticated AI applications. This book transitions you from novice to proficient AI practitioner, equipped with practical skills and comprehensive knowledge. Companion files with resources, simulations, and figures enhance learning. By the end, you'll understand AI principles and applications, ready to tackle real-world challenges.What you will learnUnderstand AI fundamentalsImplement search algorithmsExplore machine learningDevelop expert systemsDelve into neural networksMaster natural language processingWho this book is forStudents and professionals in computer science and engineering will find this book invaluable. A basic understanding of programming and mathematics is recommended. Ideal for those seeking a thorough understanding of AI concepts and applications.

In this collaboration between three highly experienced authors the eighteen best chess players of the world in the 21st century are presented to the reader with four deep annotated games and an illuming portrait. These players are: Anand, Kramnik, Topalov, Morozevich, Svidler, Mamedyarov, Shirov, Leko, Ivanchuk, Aronian (the top 10 January 2008) the stars likely to dominate in the next decade, Karjakin, Carlsen, Radjabov, Wang Yue, Ponomariov and Grischuk, the best female player ever, Judith Polgar, as well as World Championship finalist and comeback kid, American star Gata Kamsky.

This book lends insight into solving some well-known AI problems using the most efficient methods by humans and computers. The book discusses the importance of developing critical-thinking methods and skills, and develops a consistent approach toward each problem: 1) a precise description of a well-known AI problem coupled with an effective graphical representation; 2) discussion of possible approaches to solving each problem; 3) identifying and presenting the best known human solution to each problem; 4) evaluation and discussion of the Human Window aspects for the best solution; 5) a playability site where students can exercise the process of developing their solutions, as well as “experiencing” the best solution; 6) code or pseudo-code implementing the solution algorithm, and 7) academic references for each problem.

Features:
