Artificial Intelligence
1. Introduction
In which we try to explain why we consider artificial intelligence to be a subject
most worthy of study, and in which we try to decide what exactly it is, this being a
good thing to decide before embarking.
2. Intelligent Agents
In which we discuss the nature of agents, perfect or otherwise, the diversity of
environments, and the resulting menagerie of agent types.
Problem Solving
3. Solving Problems By Searching
In which we see how an agent can find a sequence of actions that achieves its
goals when no single action will do.
4. Beyond Classical Search
In which we relax the simplifying assumptions of the previous chapter, thereby
getting closer to the real world.
5. Adversarial Search
In which we examine the problems that arise when we try to plan ahead in a world
where other agents are planning against us.
6. Constraint Satisfaction Problems
In which we see how treating states as more than just little black boxes leads to the
invention of a range of powerful new search methods and a deeper understanding
of problem structure and complexity.
Knowledge Reasoning and Planning
7. Logical Agents
In which we design agents that can form representations of a complex world, use a
process of inference to derive new representations about the world, and use these
new representations to deduce what to do.
8. First Order Logic
In which we notice that the world is blessed with many objects, some of which are
related to other objects, and in which we endeavor to reason about them.
9. Inference In First Order Logic
In which we define effective procedures for answering questions posed in firstorder
logic.
10. Classical Planning
In which we see how an agent can take advantage of the structure of a problem to
construct complex plans of action.
11. Planning and Acting in the Real World
In which we see how more expressive representations and more interactive agent
architectures lead to planners that are useful in the real world.
12. Knowledge Representation
In which we show how to use first-order logic to represent the most important
aspects of the real world, such as action, space, time, thoughts, and shopping.
Communicating, Acting and Perceiving
22. Natural Language Processing
In which we see how to make use of the copious knowledge that is expressed in
natural language.
23. Natural Language For Communication
In which we see how humans communicate with one another in natural language,
and how computer agents might join in the conversation.
24. Perception
In which we connect the computer to the raw, unwashed world.
25. Robotics
In which agents are endowed with physical effectors with which to do mischief.
