Features
- Nontechnical learning material introduces major concepts using intuitive explanations, before going into mathematical or algorithmic details. The nontechnical language makes the book accessible to a broader range of readers.
- A unified approach to AI shows students how the various subfields of AI fit together to build actual, useful programs.
- The basic definition of AI systems is generalised 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.
- In-depth coverage of both basic and advanced topics provides students with a basic understanding of the frontiers of AI without compromising complexity and depth.
- 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).
- Increased coverage of machine learning.
- Significantly updated material on robotics includes robots that interact with humans and the application of reinforcement learning to robotics.
- New section on causality by Judea Pearl.
- New sections on Monte Carlo search for games and robotics.
- New sections on transfer learning for deep learning in general and for natural language.
- New sections on privacy, fairness, the future of work, and safe AI.
- Extensive coverage of recent advances in AI applications.
- Revised coverage of computer vision, natural language understanding, and speech recognition reflect the impact of deep learning methods on these fields.
