Artificial Intelligence at Mit: Expanding Frontiers, Volume 2: Understanding Vision, Manipulation and Productivity Technology, Computer Design and Sym

By Patrick H. Winston

This collection of over 40 milestone contributions presents the latest state-of-the art research emerging from one of the worlds foremost centers for Artificial Intelligence. The topics range from immediately applicable, demonstrated advances to theoretical proposals. They include robotics, vision, natural language, learning and commonsense problem solving, model-based reasoning systems, engineering problem solving, programmer's apprentice, mixed symbolic and numerical computation, ultraconcurrent systems, and basic theory. Each new area is introduced and linked together with an overview by Patrick Winston The contributors are: Harold Abelson, Gul Agha, Chae H. An, Christopher G. Atkeson, David J. Bennett, Robert C.
