The elements of artificial intelligence using common Lisp

Booknews

New edition of a text written for undergraduate or first-year graduate level courses. It provides a coherent introduction based on the premise that hands-on experimentation should be coordinated with textbook explanations of principles and of programs. After a grounding in symbol manipulation, knowledge representation, and inference, the text moves on to more advanced topics including logical, probabilistic, and commonsense reasoning; planning; learning; neural networks; natural-language understanding; vision; and expert systems.
