Product Description
This text provides an introductory-level overview of artificial intelligence (AI). It features clear presentation of principles integrated with short, workable programs which are designed to help students to learn by experimentation and to develop an intuitive understanding of the subject. The book features: expression of AI theory in programs written with common LISP, the established standard for the field; new chapters on common sense reasoning and neural networks; new sections on global variables, LISP structures, LISP association lists, iterative deepening, constructing decision trees, genetic algorithms and embedded AI; expanded coverage of expert systems; updated programming style in example programs, plus many new example programs; and coverage of additional Common LISP features.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor code examples, but a good overview, 5 Dec 2003
I did not finish reading this book. I already had read Peter Norvigs book and although his book is older, it is better in almost every way.

The code examples are poor and the style lousy! When I try to understand the complex explanations (of the complex subjects) they're often confusing and tangled with half explanations of concepts I can hardly recognize even though I've studied them before in other books. When this happens I turn to the code to get the concrete facts straight, but unfortunately they're so poor that even if they had been written in C, they wouldn't be very exemplary. The programming style is imperative only and very C-like.

The book nevertheless covers such interesting subjects like visualization, robotics and visual scanning using neural networks & cetera. As the title says only elements of the subjects are covered. It feels uncomplete even then because of the feeling of missing something when one wants to get more concrete and try some of the things out.

I cannot recommend this book unless you need an overview of artificial intelligence. That is all you'll get with this one. I don't find it suitable as a handbook because of the poor code.
