Artificial intelligence has tremendous potential for computer users; even so, misunderstandings have arisen about the true capabilities of artificial intelligence. Managers, business owners, software developers and the computer literate can find a realistic view of artificial intelligence in these pages. Partridge explains what it can-and cannot-do, especially as it applies to applications for banking, financial services, and expert systems.Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering: Understanding the Promise of the Future is written at the level of the computer literate person who wants to find out about the reality of exploiting the promise of artificial intelligence in practical, maintainable software systems. It cuts through the hype and presents the realities, both the opportunities and the problems, the current state of the art, and future directions. (view table of contents)

Product Description: This book offers a critical reconstruction of the fundamental ideas and methods in artificial intelligence (AI) research. By paying close attention to the metaphors of AI and their consequences for the field's patterns of success and failure, it argues for a reorientation of the field away from thought and toward activity...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: The purpose of "Artificial Intelligence Techniques: A Comprehensive Cata­ logue" is to promote interaction between members of the AI community. It does this by announcing the existence of AI techniques, and acting as a pointer into the literature...read more

Product Description: Over time the field of artificial intelligence has developed an "agent perspective" expanding its focus from thought to action, from search spaces to physical environments, and from problem-solving to long-term activity. Originally published as a special double volume of the journal Artificial Intelligence, this book brings together fundamental work by the top researchers in artificial intelligence, neural networks, computer science, robotics, and cognitive science on the themes of interaction and agency...read more

Product Description: The book focuses on a conceptual flaw in contemporary artificial intelligence and cognitive science. Many people have discovered diverse manifestations and facets of this flaw, but the central conceptual impasse is at best only partially perceived...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

This version of "The Elements of Artifical Intelligence" is an introductory overview of AI today and expresses AI theory in programs written with the new standard Common LISP. The programs are short and accessible to the beginner. The book includes discussions of expert systems, vision and knowledge representation.

Product Description: Connectionism has been gaining ground as a psychological modelling technique annd shows great promise as a way to build fast, robust systems to perform intelligent tasks. Connectionism contrasts with the older tradition, that of explaining intelligent behaviour in terms of the manipulation of complex symbol structures...read more

Product Description: Many existing information retrieval (IR) systems are surprisingly ineffective at finding documents relevant to particular topics. Traditional systems are extremely brittle, failing to retrieve relevant documents unless the user's exact search string is found...read more
