More About the Author
Product Description
Review
'As the field of research that defines mans attempt to mechanise human reasoning processes has evolved, matured and expanded over the latter half of the 20th century, the corpus of work that seek to define the subject has literally exploded. Yet at the start of the new millennia Callan's scholarship in Artificial Intelligence stands apart from its competitors - both in terms of the breadth of his scope and the clarity of his exposition. The text not only offers a comprehensive survey of the significant themes of AI, together with example application areas, but refreshingly also discusses the fundamental philosophical issues currently challenging the subject. In summary, Artificial Intelligence is quite simply the best general introduction to the subject available.' - Dr Mark Bishop, Department of Cybernetics, University of Reading
Product Description
This project is a modern introduction to AI suitable for both students and those wishing to gain a practical understanding of AI for use in their work. It describes the background history to AI, clarifies what the goals of AI are, and assesses current technology.
There has been significant growth in real-world applications in recent years, e.g. detection of credit card fraud, building robots for industrial tasks and entertainment, securing networks from hackers, making characters in computer games behave more human like. This book introduces the techniques used in these real-world applications.
All chapters include a range of exercises and suggested project work. Website support and an on-line solutions manual will also be available.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must have,
By John (West Sussex, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Artificial Intelligence (Paperback)
Great book, the topics are up to date and they are clearly explained. Many of the other books are too dated (e.g. whole sections dedicated to expert systems and knowledge representation) and overly complicate simple topics. At last it is nice to see decent coverage of today’s relevant techniques like Bayesian Networks and machine learning. I would recommend this as a prime text - another good book is Russell and Norvig’s.

A great new AI book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Artificial Intelligence (Paperback)
This book is a great addition to my own library of AI books. It has good breadth and depth of coverage and would suit those who prefer a text that is less mathematically oriented compared to some other AI books. The book has a modern feel and gives more coverage than other AI books on certain key topics like neural networks. Overall this is a good modern text and worth reading!
