You cannot really go practical in AI without academic rigor. You can do recipes of what's already been done using a TensorFlow book, but that's how far one can go. If one is serious in getting in AI today, a great way to do is read the following books, in order:
1. AI: A Modern Approach by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig.
2. Deep Learning by Ian Goodfellow and Yoshua Bengio.
It is amazing how approachable both books are for beginners, but you will be diving a lot into academic stuff as you go along.
- deepnet 10y agoSutton & Barto's Reinforment Learning complete this triumvirate https://webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~sutton/book/the-book-2nd.html https://webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~sutton/book/the-book-2nd.htm...

- jumpCastle 10y agoI liked all three of them. I also feel Murphy's MLAPP provides additional useful material and is well written.
- thedailymail 10y agoFor whatever reason, Sutton's was the first serious book I read in any area of AI. The balance between explaining the history, the concepts and the code is handled really well.
- nextos 10y agoI love Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence by Peter Norvig much more than AIMA, which I found excessively encyclopedic and shallow. While some will argue it is dated, I think it presents many timeless ideas that will get in vogue soon with little tweaks to their inference schemes. Same for The Art of Prolog.
- curuinor 10y agoIf you're shipping anything after 2010, you're not going to get within an order of magnitude within state of the art with that book (PAI), unfortunately. There's basically no numerics in that book about anything that'll past muster at NIPS or ICML nowadays or would be shipped by one of the big corporate AI labs, I'm sorry to say.
- pvinis 10y agoArt of Prolog was over of the best books I've read. As Prolog itself is one of my favorite languages. I wish there were more of both.
- stesch 10y agoI had the feeling it was more of a Common Lisp book than AI book.
- metaobject 10y agoIt's both, but the AI coversge is quite out of date.
- abecedarius 10y agoPAIP is one of my favorite books ever, but taken as a book about the craft of programming, not about AI. AI has grown, and the broadness of AIMA matches the subject. (It does need another update, and I heard they're working on one.)

- andyczerwonka 10y agoI have both, and I agree these are great. I really appreciate the style of the Goodfellow book, it's very approachable.
