This book covers current AI applications and techniques for solving problems and accomplishing tasks. It introduces branches of AI such as formal logic, reasoning, knowledge engineering, expert systems, neural networks, and fuzzy logic. It emphasizes expert systems, with sections on state space search, knowledge engineering, neural networks, fuzzy logic, and Prolog.
It begins with an introduction to AI and its applications, setting the stage for foundational concepts. Readers are guided through state space search and heuristic search strategies, crucial for problem-solving in AI. The focus shifts to expert systems, covering their development life cycle, knowledge acquisition, and representation, providing a deep dive into emulating human decision-making.
Later chapters cover neural networks and the learning process, essential for creating adaptive systems. Sections on fuzzy logic and fuzzy systems introduce methods for handling uncertainty in AI. Final chapters on programming in logic and advanced Prolog offer practical techniques for AI solutions. This approach equips readers with the skills to apply AI in various domains, enhancing their problem-solving abilities and understanding of intelligent systems.
