| Summary |
This book lends insight into solving some well-known AI problems using the most efficient methods by humans and computers. The book discusses the importance of developing critical-thinking methods and skills, and develops a consistent approach toward each problem: 1) a precise description of a well-known AI problem coupled with an effective graphical representation; 2) discussion of possible approaches to solving each problem; 3) identifying and presenting the best known human solution to each problem; 4) evaluation and discussion of the Human Window aspects for the best solution; 5) a playability site where students can exercise the process of developing their solutions, as well as experiencing the best solution; 6) code or pseudo-code implementing the solution algorithm, and 7) academic references for each problem. The book also addresses popular AI problems from different perspectives and covers classic AI problems such as Twelve Coins, Red Donkey, Cryptarithms, Rubik's Cube, Missionaries/Cannibals, Knight's Tour, Monty Hall, and more |
