Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (Pearson Series in Artifical Intelligence)

A promising version of artificial intelligence: A modern approach explores the  breadth and depth of the field of artificial intelligence (AI). The fourth edition introduces readers  to  the latest technologies, presents concepts in a more integrated way, and introduces new and expanded topics in machine learning, deep learning, transfer learning, multi-agent systems, robotics, natural language processing, causality, and probabilistic programming. It provides scope. , Privacy, Fairness and Security AI.

This book provides the most complete and up-to-date introduction to the theory and practice of artificial intelligence. Non-technical learning materials introduce basic concepts using intuitive explanations before moving on to mathematical or algorithmic details. Using non-technical language makes this book accessible to more readers.  A Consolidated Approach to AI shows students how the various AI subfields can be combined with each other to create practical and useful programs.

This book covers

Offer the most comprehensive, up-to-date introduction to the theory and practice of artificial intelligence

• The basic definition of AI systems is generalized to eliminate the standard assumption that the objective is fixed and known by the intelligent agent; instead, the agent may be uncertain about the true objectives of the human(s) on whose behalf it operates.
• The Author-Maintained Website at http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/ includes text-related comments and discussions, exercises, an online code repository, Instructor Resources, and more!
• Interactive student exercises are now featured on the website to allow for continuous updating and additions.
• Updated online software gives students more opportunities to complete projects, including implementations of the algorithms in the book, plus supplemental coding examples and applications in Python, Java, and Javascript.
• New instructional video tutorials deepen students’ engagement and bring key concepts to life.Stay current with the latest technologies and present concepts in a more unified manner
• New chapters feature expanded coverage of probabilistic programming (Ch. 15); multiagent decision making (Ch. 18 with Michael Wooldridge); deep learning (Ch. 21 with Ian Goodfellow); and deep learning for natural language processing (Ch. 24 with Jacob Devlin and Mei-Wing Chang).
