"Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have resulted in a proliferation of new terms, often making it difficult for scientists and researchers to read the literature in the field and communicate with AI professionals. This useful dictionary ends the confusion by clearly defining both terms and concepts used in AI. It features more AI definitions than any other dictionary currently available, along with over 5,000 references to other literature sources for more in-depth research. Detailed, alphabetically arranged entries cover practical applications and provide comparisons with other terms. Multiple definitions are provided for many terms, to give a thorough sense of the terms' various meanings. Concrete examples throughout put the terms in a practical context. Extensive coverage of expert systems includes an appendix of commonly used expert system shells. Among the new areas of artificial intelligence addressed are genetic algorithms, neural networks, intelligent databases, object-oriented programming, and case-based reasoning. Terms from AI languages such as LISP, PROLOG, C++, and Smalltalk are also defined. Encompassing the entire field of artificial intelligence, the Dictionary familiarizes you with terms related to: Problem solving; Pattern matching; Pattern recognition; Logic programming; Game playing; Automatic programming; Speech recognition; Intelligent computer-aided instruction; Natural language processing; Knowledge representation; Hypertext. Both novices and experts will improve their technical understanding of artificial intelligence by having the Dictionary close at hand. It will be a valuable reference source for knowledge engineers, computer programmers, engineers, business professionals, psychologists, and others who need to keep up with the field of artificial intelligence." -- From the back cover.
