DESCRIPTION:
Contains exercises and authentic examples to help facilitate the understanding of difficult concepts.. Each technique is accompanied by a program implementing it. A unique advantage to this work is the combination of AI, Prolog and Logic. An introduction to Prolog programming for artificial intelligence covering both basic and advanced AI material. Seeks to simplify the basic concepts of logic programming
A Customer said Simply Incomprehensible!. The author of this book may be a great logician, but he compunicates his ideas extremely badly, making this book agonisingly difficult to read.The author is clearly not a native English speaker, and avoids explaining any concepts in depth, instead using page after page of Prolog code to demonstrate principles.This tiny book really isn't worth the paper its printed on.. a gem! The author Peter Flach has contributed a lot to the logic-based AI literature, in particular in abduction and induction.As expected, this book devoted some sections to abduction and inductive learning, illustrated by Prolog code. I find the inductive reasoning chapter particularly helpful.If you find the book hard to understand -- I skipped the introductory chapters so I don't know -- you may try Ivan Bratko's Prolog textbook.. "Four Stars" according to Pascal Pieters. Great book to study the basics. Not outdated yet!
