AI Application Programming (Programming) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This book demystifies the techniques associated with the field of artificial intelligence and covers a wide variety of techniques currently defined as "AI." Many books on artificial intelligence provide tutorials for AI methods, but the applications are restricted to toy problems that have little relevance in the real world. AI Application Programming covers theory, but teaches developers how these techniques can be applied in their own designs. The book is split by AI subfields (statistical methods, symbolic methods, etc.) to further refine the methods and applications for the reader. Each chapter provides a detailed discussion of the source code used.

Book News Annotation:

Sortware engineer Jones demystifies techniques associated with artificial intelligence and shows how they can be useful in everyday applications. The book covers techniques including statistical algorithms, symbolic methods, evolutionary systems, and optimization methods. Each chapter covers the theory of the algorithm or technique under discussion, then follows with a practical application and a detailed discussion of the source code. The companion CD-ROM contains source code. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
