    Study Notes

    AI Background and Motivation

    • AI is an old science, tracing its roots back to Aristotle, who defined his "philosophy of nature" as the "study of things that change".
    • Aristotle's work distinguished between the matter and form of things, which provides a philosophical basis for modern notions such as symbolic computing and data abstraction.

    Overview of AI Application Areas

    • The book provides an overview of important application areas in AI, including search, stochastic methodology, and software architectures.

    AI Research Tools

    • Part II of the book introduces research tools for AI problem solving, including:
      • Predicate calculus as a mathematical system and representation language (Chapter 2)
      • Search algorithms and data structures (Chapter 3)
      • Heuristics in focusing and constraining search-based problem solving (Chapter 4)
      • Stochastic methodology for reasoning in situations of uncertainty (Chapter 5)
      • Software architectures for implementing search algorithms (Chapter 6)

    Representations for AI

    • Part III of the book discusses representations for AI, knowledge-intensive problem solving, and reasoning in changing and ambiguous situations, including:
      • Association-based networks, conceptual dependency theory, frames, and scripts (Chapter 7)
      • Conceptual graphs and their application to natural language database front ends (Chapter 7 and 14)
      • Probabilistic component to reinforcement learning (Chapter 10)

    Automated Reasoning and Natural Language Understanding

    • Part V of the book presents automated reasoning and natural language understanding, including:
      • Theorem proving, including binary resolution proof procedures and the Prolog interpreter (Chapter 14)
      • Natural language understanding, including stochastic approaches and machine learning techniques (Chapter 15)

    Epilogue and Future of AI

    • Chapter 16 serves as an epilogue, discussing the possibility of a science of intelligent systems, contemporary challenges to AI, and projecting its exciting future.
