SYNOPSIS: Finally, a wide-ranging, practical treatment of artificial intelligence concepts, with a concentration on mathematical methods rarely given adequate coverage in other books! Here, in one single volume, are the essential mathematical methods and models important to the design of intelligent systems--presented within the framework of practical examples and applications. Full coverage is given to parallel computation, knowledge representation, the organization of data, sensors, rules of inference, image recognition, modeling, and the algebraic structure of algorithms. Designed to bridge the gap between those who study computer-based AI and those who are more engineering-oriented and who wish to focus on robotics, this example-packed volume features: Integrated treatment that links the development of artificially intelligent computers with the classical approach to autonomous systems. An emphasis on the underlying algebraic structure of parallel machines and parallel algorithms that provides a consistent theme throughout the book. A strong focus on the fundamental role of knowledge representation--leading to fast machines and a more effective understanding of the "intelligence" that we wish to stimulate. An extensive chapter on image understanding that stresses intuitive geometric methods such as gradient edge detection and morphological analysis. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
