"The central fact is that we are planning agents." (M. Bratman, Intentions, Plans, and Practical Reasoning, 1987, p. 2) Recent arguments to the contrary notwithstanding, it seems to be the case that p
Visual Reconstruction presents a unified and highly original approach to thetreatment of continuity in vision. It introduces, analyzes, and illustrates two new concepts. Thefirst -- the weak continuit
Nonmonotonic reasoning provides formal methods that enable intelligent systems tooperate adequately when faced with incomplete or changing information. In particular, it providesrigorous mechanisms fo
Active Vision explores important themes emerging from the active vision paradigm, which has only recently become an established area of machine vision. In four parts the contributions look in turn at
Neural networks have been a mainstay of artificial intelligence since its earliest days. Now, exciting new technologies such as deep learning and convolution are taking neural networks in bold new dir
Previous treatments of Artificial Intelligence (AI) divide the subject into its major areas of application, namely, natural language processing, automatic programming, robotics, machine vision, automa
Nature can be a great source of inspiration for artificial intelligence algorithms because its technology is considerably more advanced than our own. Among its wonders are strong AI, nanotechnology, a
A great building requires a strong foundation. This book teaches basic Artificial Intelligence algorithms such as dimensionality, distance metrics, clustering, error calculation, hill climbing, Nelder
Recent research results in the area of parallel algorithms for problem solving, search, natural language parsing, and computer vision, are brought together in this book. The research reported demonstr
Collaborative tagging is a system that allows data miners to annotate arbitrary resources with freely chosen keywords, or tags. Jaschke (knowledge and data engineering, U. of Kassel, Germany) explains
Constraint programming is a powerful paradigm for solving combinatorial search problems that draws on a wide range of techniques from artificial intelligence, computer science, databases, programming
