Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Cloth hardcover, x + 179 pages, NOT ex-library. Minor handling wear. Book is clean and bright, untanned with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. No dust jacket. Partially removed retail barcode sticker on the back. -- The book provides a comprehe…nsive introduction to nonmonotonic reasoning, a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) focused on reasoning systems where conclusions drawn can be withdrawn in the light of new evidence. Unlike classical logic systems, where inferences are definitive, nonmonotonic reasoning allows for more flexible and realistic approaches to decision-making in uncertain environments, reflecting the way human reasoning often functions. The book explores various systems and formal frameworks developed to handle nonmonotonic reasoning, including default logic, autoepistemic logic, and circumscription. The authors guide readers through the theory, applications, and limitations of these frameworks, making this volume a critical resource for anyone studying AI, knowledge representation, or logic programming. Topics covered in the book include: - Default logic and its role in handling incomplete information; - Circumscription and how it enables minimal model reasoning; - Autoepistemic logic, which deals with reasoning about one's own beliefs; - Logic programming with negation and how it relates to nonmonotonic reasoning; - Applications of nonmonotonic reasoning in AI systems, database theory, and expert systems; - Comparative analysis of nonmonotonic reasoning systems. This work is suitable for researchers, graduate students, and professionals in AI, offering both theoretical insights and practical examples of nonmonotonic reasoning systems.

Condizione: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 328 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This book contains a selection of papers presented at the International Workshop Machine Learning, Meta-Reasoning and Logics held in Hotel de Mar in Sesimbra, Portugal, 15-17 February 1988. All the papers were edited afterwards. The…Workshop encompassed several fields of Artificial Intelligence: Machine Learning, Belief Revision, Meta-Reasoning and Logics. The objective of this Workshop was not only to address the common issues in these areas, but also to examine how to elaborate cognitive architectures for systems capable of learning from experience, revising their beliefs and reasoning about what they know. Acknowledgements The editing of this book has been supported by COST-13 Project Machine Learning and Knowledge Acquisition funded by the Commission o/the European Communities which has covered a substantial part of the costs. Other sponsors who have supported this work were Junta Nacional de lnvestiga~ao Cientlfica (JNICT), lnstituto Nacional de lnvestiga~ao Cientlfica (INIC), Funda~ao Calouste Gulbenkian. I wish to express my gratitude to all these institutions. Finally my special thanks to Paula Pereira and AnaN ogueira for their help in preparing this volume. This work included retyping all the texts and preparing the camera-ready copy. Introduction 1 1. Meta-Reasoning and Machine Learning The first chapter is concerned with the role meta-reasoning plays in intelligent systems capable of learning. As we can see from the papers that appear in this chapter, there are basically two different schools of thought.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The launch of Microsoft s Kinect, the first high-resolution depth-sensing camera for the consumer market, generated considerable excitement not only among computer gamers, but also within the global community of computer vision researchers.The potential…of consumer depth cameras extends well beyond entertainment and gaming, to real-world commercial applications such virtual fitting rooms, training for athletes, and assistance for the elderly. This authoritative text/reference reviews the scope and impact of this rapidly growing field, describing the most promising Kinect-based research activities, discussing significant current challenges, and showcasing exciting applications.Topics and features: presents contributions from an international selection of preeminent authorities in their fields, from both academic and corporate research; addresses the classic problem of multi-view geometry of how to correlate images from different viewpoints to simultaneously estimate camera poses and world points; examines human pose estimation using video-rate depth images for gaming, motion capture, 3D human body scans, and hand pose recognition for sign language parsing; provides a review of approaches to various recognition problems, including category and instance learning of objects, and human activity recognition; with a Foreword by Dr. Jamie Shotton of Microsoft Research, Cambridge, UK.This broad-ranging overview is a must-read for researchers and graduate students of computer vision and robotics wishing to learn more about the state of the art of this increasingly hot topic.
