Description
Exploring Artificial Intelligence is a unique presentation of the spectrum of research in Artificial Intelligence. Each self-contained chapter is based on a survey talk given at the National Conferences on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI 1986 & 1987). The original speakers, all leading researchers in their fields, have updated and revised their talks especially for this publication. Selected and edited to be accessible to students and nonspecialists, Exploring Artificial Intelligence preserves the informal character of the talks while presenting authoritative overviews of current research in critical subareas of AI. Individually, each lecture provides a penetrating exploration of a key area. Taken together, they offer a panorama of the field as a whole: its core issues, progress, and future directions. An ideal collection for personal reference or for use in introductory courses in AI and its subfields, Exploring Artificial Intelligence is essential reading for anyone interested in the intellectual and technological challenges of Artificial Intelligence.
