Hmm,
A group of tasks with prolog programs to accomplish them.
Without detracting from the value of this book, the name of book made me imagine an entirely different book and topic. A list of intelligent actions accomplished by humans. Some that resist programming efforts and all organized to a picture of the difficulty of defining intelligence.
- 314 8y agoAt the time the book was written the later chapters on models of induction and abduction were describing one of the better models of human thought. There is a strong emphasis on meta-interpretation as it was believed that exploration of these models by implementing them in more specific languages would be a path towards intelligence. Peter’s new book (from 2012) shifts more heavily towards statistical methods. This reflects the unreasonable effectiveness of scruffy methods against the neater approaches. A more modern versn of this logical approach would be something like answer-set programming or other constraint based models of logic.
