This is an important textbook on artificial intelligence that uses the unifying thread of search to bring together most of the major techniques used in symbolic artificial intelligence. The authors, aware of the pitfalls of being too general or too academic, have taken a practical approach in that they include program code to illustrate their ideas. Furthermore, code is offered in both POP-11 and Prolog, thereby giving a dual perspective, highlighting the merits of these languages.  Each chapter covers one technique and divides up into three sections: a section which introduces the technique (and its usual applications) andsuggests how it can be understood as a variant/generalisation of search;  a section which developed a `low'-level (POP-11) implementation;  a section which develops a high-level (Prolog) implementation of the technique.  The authors also include useful notes on alternative treatments to the material, further reading and exercises.  As a practical book it will be welcomed by a wide audience including, those already experienced in AI, students with some background in programming who are taking an introductory course in AI, and lecturers looking for a precise, professional and practical text book to use in their AI courses.  About the authors:  Dr Christopher Thornton has a BA in Economics, an Sc in Computer Science and a DPhil in Artificial Intelligence. Formerly a lecturer in the Department of AI at the University of Edinburgh, he is now a lecturer in AI in the School of Cognitive and Computing Sciences at the University of Sussex.  Professor Benedict du Boulay has a BSc in Physics and a PhD in Artificial Intelligence. Previously a lecturer in the Department of Computing Science at the University of Aberdeen he is currently Professor of Artificial Intelligence, also in the School of Cognitive and Computing Sciences, University of Sussex.

AI for Learning (AI for Everything)

"What is artificial intelligence? How can AI help a learner? What are the positive impacts of AI on human learning? AI for Learners examines how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can, and should, impact positively on human learning, whether it be in formal or informal educational and training contexts. The notion of "can" is bound up with ongoing technological developments. The notion of "should" is bound up with an ethical stance that recognises the complimentary capabilities of human and artificial intelligence, as well as the objectives of doing good, not doing harm, increasing justice and maintaining fairness. The book considers the different supporting roles that can help a learner - from AI as a peer to AI as a tutor and AI as an assessor, among others - and examines both the opportunities and risks associated with each"--

What is artificial intelligence (AI)? How can AI help a learner, a teacher or a system designer? What are the positive impacts of AI on human learning? AI for Learning examines how artificial intelligence can, and should, positively impact human learning, whether it be in formal or informal educational and training contexts. The notion of 'can' is bound up with ongoing technological developments. The notion of 'should' is bound up with an ethical stance that recognises the complementary capabilities of human and artificial intelligence, as well as the objectives of doing good, not doing harm, increasing justice and maintaining fairness. The book considers the different supporting roles that can help a learner - from AI as a tutor and learning aid to AI as a classroom moderator, among others - and examines both the opportunities and risks associated with each.

The eleven chapters This text on Artificial Intelligence uses the unifying thread of SEARCH to bring together the major techniques used in symbolic Artificial Intelligence. The authors included program code to illustrate concepts - code is offered in both POP-11 and Prolog. Each chapter covers a technique and are divided into three sections: 1) introduction to the technique; 2) development of a low-level of (POP-11) implementation; 3) development of a high-level (Prolog) implementation. This practical book should be valuable to those experienced in artificial intelligence, students with some programming background, and academics and professionals looking for a concise discussion of artificial intelligence through SEARCH.
