Encyclopedia of Artificial Intelligence Book

Numerous real-life problems so complex as to be virtually insoluble by means of traditional computer science techniques can now be approached effectively with artificial intelligence techniques.

This work skillfully interweaves research from neuroscience, computer science, the cognitive sciences, the exact sciences, and various fields of engineering to provide over 200 articles that allow researchers to keep up to date with the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence. The articles have been written by teams of academic researchers from about 40 countries, a feature that provides the work with global appeal, more diverse views, and different applications of knowledge. A faculty member at the University of A Coruña in Spain like his coeditors, key editor Dopico is a noted expert in his field many published works in evolutionary computation and artificial neural networks. His attention to detail is impressive-the final draft of this effort was sent to three different reviewers for revision. After two years, the encyclopedia emerged as a set of high-quality entries that focus on basic concepts, problems, trends, challenges, and opportunities within the technologies as well as applications of systems using intelligent characteristics. Each article has a list of up-to-date references, key terms, and clear definitions. In addition, the articles are well illustrated and contain charts, tables, mathematical formulas, and useful indexes. The topics are complex, theoretical, and highly technical and include concepts such as cryptanalysis, neural networks, and algorithms.
