Product Description
This book offers students and AI programmers a new perspective on the study of artificial intelligence concepts. The essential topics and theory of AI are presented, but it also includes practical information on data input & reduction as well as data output (i.e., algorithm usage). Because traditional AI concepts such as pattern recognition, numerical optimization and data mining are now simply types of algorithms, a different approach is needed. This sensor / algorithm / effecter approach grounds the algorithms with an environment, helps students and AI practitioners to better understand them, and subsequently, how to apply them. The book has numerous up to date applications in game programming, intelligent agents, neural networks, artificial immune systems, and more. A CD-ROM with simulations, code, and figures accompanies the book. |

Best AI book I've seen so far by R. Johnson (SoCal, USA)  5 Stars
August 05, 2008
I am just getting into AI and I've been looking for some good AI books. This is the first one I've found that covers a great selection of AI topics and talks about them in PLAIN ENGLISH instead of trying to baffle you with lots of academic gibberish! It's also liberally sprinkled with clear diagrams and programming code. So if you want a practical AI book you can actually use and understand, I think this is a good one. It's written by an AI professional who can actually WRITE and communicate clearly! What a surprise!

| Bio-Inspired Artificial Intelligence: Theories, Methods, and Technologies (Intelligent Robotics and Autonomous Agents)
by Dario Floreano (Author), Claudio Mattiussi (Author)
New approaches to artificial intelligence spring from the idea that intelligence emerges as much from cells, bodies, and societies as it does from evolution, development, and learning. Traditionally, artificial intelligence has been concerned with reproducing the abilities of human brains; newer approaches take inspiration from a wider range of biological structures that that are capable of autonomous self-organization. Examples of these new approaches include evolutionary computation and...
