Artificial Intelligence

In Artificial Intelligence: Foundations of Computational Agents, David L. Poole and Alan K. Mackworth introduce readers to the essential principles underlying intelligent computational agents. The book outlines a coherent framework for designing, analyzing, and implementing AI systems, examining how various methods fit into a sophisticated and multidimensional design space. It provides a systematic exploration of topics from fundamental theories to the integration of learning techniques within computational frameworks. The second edition, published in 2017 by Cambridge University Press, builds upon its solid foundation by incorporating expanded discussions on modern machine learning approaches as well as the social and ethical facets of AI. Structured as both a textbook for undergraduate and graduate studies and a resource for professionals and researchers, the work balances theoretical insights with practical applications, enhanced by strong pedagogical elements and online materials.
