Design of Logic-based Intelligent Systems

the long version

"Design of Logic-based Intelligent Systems develops principles and methods for constructing intelligent systems for complex tasks that are readily done by humans but are difficult for machines. Current Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches rely on various constructs and methods (production rules, neural nets, support vector machines, fuzzy logic, Bayesian networks, etc.). In contrast, this book uses an extension of propositional logic that treats all aspects of intelligent systems in a unified and mathematically compatible manner." "Design of Logic-based Intelligent Systems in both a handbook for the AI practitioner and a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on intelligent systems."--BOOK JACKET.
