Hands down the best introductory book on machine intelligence.

[Paulina Sierra · Rating 4 out of 5]

Basically this book helped me to understand on a deeper sense what kind of Algorithms are employed within Artificial Intelligence.I have not finished to read at all. But , now I grasp some concepts written on this book.
I will keep reading this book further, from one time to another.

DNF at about halfway, and won't review, since - meh - it was fine. I used it during my first Georgia Tech OMSCS course, Knowledge-Based Artificial Intelligence, and that's over now, so... :shrug:

I mean, I love Winston's MIT AI lectures. They are MIND BLOWINGLY good. Here they are. This book is less about "optimal" AI (in the style of neural nets and machine learning) and more about "human-like" AI (in the style of mimicking cognitive systems and encoding semantic relationships). Which I find inherently confusing and kind of gratingly dull. ML is more exciting! And seems to make more "sense" (even if it's less interpretable, often). As such, this book feels like a textbook from history - from a field that has changed quite a lot since it was published.
