Artificial Intelligence Problems and Their Solutions

Students and practitioners who want to solve classic artificial intelligence problems efficiently, whether the solver is a person or a computer, will find a practical guide here. The book stresses critical thinking, both as a method and as a skill to build.

Each problem is handled the same way. The author first defines the problem precisely and presents it in a clear diagram. He then surveys the possible approaches, identifies the strongest solution known from human problem-solving, and assesses that solution through its Human Window characteristics.

To support hands-on learning, every problem comes with an interactive playability site, where readers can work through the steps of building a solution and test the best solution for themselves. Code or pseudo-code for each solution algorithm is included, along with academic references for further reading.
