Although this text recommends the reader starts this as a beginning junior in a Computer Science program， I thought I would take a stab。 This one is a jaw dropper。 Of all the books on Artificial Intelligence I have looked through， approximately 6， this one is by far the best。 For the price， not many books in general cover as much about computational power， algorithms， human psychology， fulfilling tasks to the best of a computer's ability， and most of all - it’s an impressive text on human though Although this text recommends the reader starts this as a beginning junior in a Computer Science program， I thought I would take a stab。 This one is a jaw dropper。 Of all the books on Artificial Intelligence I have looked through， approximately 6， this one is by far the best。 For the price， not many books in general cover as much about computational power， algorithms， human psychology， fulfilling tasks to the best of a computer's ability， and most of all - it’s an impressive text on human thought and rationality。 The bible of A。I。 This is such a great book。 To read this is quite possibly the most comprehensive study on rational thought and action。 。。。more

This is a chonky book to get through， lots of content。 The book dicusses the detailed theoretical concepts of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning。 It's a great way to know what you're getting into if you want to pursue AI/ML。 This is a chonky book to get through， lots of content。 The book dicusses the detailed theoretical concepts of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning。 It's a great way to know what you're getting into if you want to pursue AI/ML。 。。。more

This is a great book for anyone who wants to learn about AI - the only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because Drs Russell and Norvig gloss over the question of conscious AI in favour of sticking to algorithmic AI - nonetheless well written and informative

This book is actually two books， one in computer science and another in statistics， incoherently combined。 It does not give a profound view of AI。 It touches it shyly in the first chapter with a lot of hesitant， unassertive statements。 It is used widely as a textbook but no longer due to its current size。 It is too big and talks about almost every scientific subject， which indicates its deviation and lack of focus on the main subject。I was relying on this book quite heavily until I shifted to th This book is actually two books， one in computer science and another in statistics， incoherently combined。 It does not give a profound view of AI。 It touches it shyly in the first chapter with a lot of hesitant， unassertive statements。 It is used widely as a textbook but no longer due to its current size。 It is too big and talks about almost every scientific subject， which indicates its deviation and lack of focus on the main subject。I was relying on this book quite heavily until I shifted to the works of the founding fathers of AI （i。e。， McCarthy， Minsky， Simon， Solomonoff， etc。）， in addition to the recent advances in deep learning and Artificial Neural Networks。 Until then， I realized how misleading and cumbersome this book was。 The poor presentation of Neural Networks is demonstrative of the encountered slippage in this book to AI。 。。。more

Finally finished this one。 so many topics and very informative as you expand your knowledge on AI。 Really enjoyed this one。 the chapters were just enough description and overall will be a great resource for refreshing in the future。

کتاب کمی گنگ و قدیمی هست و معمولا کتب جدید هوش مصنوعی هم درک بهتری به موضوع میدن و هم میدان معرفی بزرگتر و سادگی بالاتری را شامل می شوند。در این کتاب بیشتر به حل مسائلی چون مسیریابی و الگوریتم های اینچنینی پرداخته شده

This is the old testament of the AI bible （the new testament would consist of （among others） Sutton & Barto's Reinforcement Learning and Goodfellow's Deep Learning）。 Despite primarily outlining a paradigm often referred to as GOFAI （Good Old-Fashioned AI）， this book is unmatched as a foundation for the field。 Artificial Intelligence might have been born at the Dartmouth workshop， but Russel & Norvig's tome provides a united overview and a terminology that is more relevant now than ever。I have ye This is the old testament of the AI bible （the new testament would consist of （among others） Sutton & Barto's Reinforcement Learning and Goodfellow's Deep Learning）。 Despite primarily outlining a paradigm often referred to as GOFAI （Good Old-Fashioned AI）， this book is unmatched as a foundation for the field。 Artificial Intelligence might have been born at the Dartmouth workshop， but Russel & Norvig's tome provides a united overview and a terminology that is more relevant now than ever。I have yet to meet an AI researcher who doesn't proudly own a copy of AIMA。 。。。more

I had to read this as part of my Artificial Intelligence course in Georgia Tech's Online Master's in Computer Science program， and as an AI textbook it was excellent。 It provides detailed， and easy to follow， algorithms ranging from minimax and alpha-beta to Bayes Nets， Hidden Markov Models， A*， Neural Nets， and plenty more。 I did not read every page of this book， but I can attest that I would not have done nearly as well in my course without it and if I need to look up an AI algo， I'll turn her I had to read this as part of my Artificial Intelligence course in Georgia Tech's Online Master's in Computer Science program， and as an AI textbook it was excellent。 It provides detailed， and easy to follow， algorithms ranging from minimax and alpha-beta to Bayes Nets， Hidden Markov Models， A*， Neural Nets， and plenty more。 I did not read every page of this book， but I can attest that I would not have done nearly as well in my course without it and if I need to look up an AI algo， I'll turn here first to read what Russell and Norvig have to say first and then check other resources。 。。。more

It is indeed a great book， both didactic， precise， well paced and with a good bottom-up structure。

Considering my previous knowledge of Artificial Intelligence， this book was shite。Constant repetition of previously learnt algorithms and those hideous chapters on logic made me want to puke。 The humor was good and the writer came off as friendly， but Jesus was this a waste of time。

Read this book for my Premaster studies。It may be hard to understand some concepts from just reading the book， but in combination with other course material and videos I managed to get a good grasp of most concepts。 A good overall impression about AI！

The book touches a large number of topics in the area of artificial intelligence 。 For introduction in the field it is fine， but I don't like too much formalization and focus on just classical search based AI ， and current techniques are way in the back with very introductory chapters。 I do not know how it should be done but there should be a combination of current and old。 The book touches a large number of topics in the area of artificial intelligence 。 For introduction in the field it is fine， but I don't like too much formalization and focus on just classical search based AI ， and current techniques are way in the back with very introductory chapters。 I do not know how it should be done but there should be a combination of current and old。 。。。more

The go-to textbook for intro to AI。 A fantastic book。One qualm I have is that everything is in pseudocode。 It would've been useful to have an appendix in Python or Java for the algorithms。 The go-to textbook for intro to AI。 A fantastic book。One qualm I have is that everything is in pseudocode。 It would've been useful to have an appendix in Python or Java for the algorithms。 。。。more

Old Fashioned Chronologicale DictionaryI use it as introduction or table of contents to get a taste of how each sub field of AI inter related to each other After I finished machine learning study。 But to really dive into each of the subject matter of each chapter， you will need to go find more specific books or papers to dig into the details。 Overall its a great intro to this field。 Just don't count on reading this book alone can somehow make you an AI specialist。 No single book can do that for Old Fashioned Chronologicale DictionaryI use it as introduction or table of contents to get a taste of how each sub field of AI inter related to each other After I finished machine learning study。 But to really dive into each of the subject matter of each chapter， you will need to go find more specific books or papers to dig into the details。 Overall its a great intro to this field。 Just don't count on reading this book alone can somehow make you an AI specialist。 No single book can do that for you。 。。。more

Absolutely stunning。 I managed to learn the basics of artificial intelligence using this book。 You don't have to know much before studying this book。 All you need to get by studying it is in there。 I personally had to study it a lot of times， but it was worth it。 The exercises are absolutely recommended， but the lack of programming exercises （It's not that there are not any， there are。 But there could be more， IMHO） is still felt。 Absolutely stunning。 I managed to learn the basics of artificial intelligence using this book。 You don't have to know much before studying this book。 All you need to get by studying it is in there。 I personally had to study it a lot of times， but it was worth it。 The exercises are absolutely recommended， but the lack of programming exercises （It's not that there are not any， there are。 But there could be more， IMHO） is still felt。 。。。more

Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach by Stuart Russel and Peter Norvig is book introducing the reader to a wide range of AI topics。 From the traditional Search problems to Natural Language Processing， this book has it all。 It brims with a lot of detail and is suited to anyone with an interest in AI。 If you want an introduction to this -sometimes daunting- field， this book is for you。Even though it doesn’t go in great detail in all topics， it offers a thorough investigation of most of them。 Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach by Stuart Russel and Peter Norvig is book introducing the reader to a wide range of AI topics。 From the traditional Search problems to Natural Language Processing， this book has it all。 It brims with a lot of detail and is suited to anyone with an interest in AI。 If you want an introduction to this -sometimes daunting- field， this book is for you。Even though it doesn’t go in great detail in all topics， it offers a thorough investigation of most of them。 The extra detail does not come with extra complications， thankfully， with the more advanced ideas covered in as clean a manner as the more basic ones。 There is pseudocode for most of the algorithms （and more is added with each edition） and there are a lot of examples， all of which make understanding and following the concepts so much more easier。What stands out for this book is how well written it is。 Everyone can pick it up with the most basic of backgrounds and they will understand and enjoy it。 The prose is clear and at times even playful and colorful。 This， on top of the great and simple explanations， makes studying it a joy。Also， for those who want to get their hands dirty with code， the book has some official accompanying public repositories （https://github。com/aimacode）。If you are interested in a guide in the fast growing field of Artificial Intelligence， look no further than this book。 I cannot recommend it enough。 。。。more
