人工智能：智能系统指南（英文版·第3版）
出版时间：2011年版
内容简介
　　人工智能经常被人们认为是计算机科学中一门高度复杂甚至令人生畏的学科。长期以来人工智能方面的书籍往往包含复杂矩阵代数和微分方程。本书基于作者多年来给没有多少微积分知识的学生授课时所用的讲义，假定读者没有编程经验，以简单易懂的方式介绍了智能系统的基础知识。《人工智能智能系统指南（英文版.第3版）》目前已经被国际上多所大学（例如，德国的马格德堡大学、日本的广岛大学、美国的波士顿大学和罗切斯特理工学院等）采纳为教材。如果您正在寻找关于人工智能或智能系统设计课程的浅显易懂的入门级教材，如果您不是计算机科学领域的专业人员而又正在寻找介绍基于知识系统最新技术发展的自学指南，本书将是您的最佳选择。与上一版相比，本版进行了全面更新，以反映人工智能领域的最新进展。其中新增了数据挖掘与知识发现一章和自组织神经网络聚类一节内容，同时补充了4个新的案例研究。
