This English edition monograph is developed and updated from China's best-selling, and award-winning,
book on Artificial Intelligence (AI). It covers the foundations as well as the latest developments of AI in
a comprehensive and systematic manner. It is a valuable guide for students and researchers on artificial
intelligence.

A wide range of topics in AI are covered in this book with four distinct features. First of all, the book
comprises a comprehensive system, covering the core technology of AI, including the basic theories and
techniques of "traditional" artificial intelligence, and the basic principles and methods of computational
intelligence. Secondly, the book focuses on innovation, covering advanced learning methods for machine
learning and deep learning techniques and other artificial intelligence that have been widely used in
recent years. Thirdly, the theory and practice of the book are highly integrated. There are theories,
techniques and methods, as well as many application examples, which will help readers to understand
the artificial intelligence theory and its application development. Fourthly, the content structure of the
book is quite characteristic, consisting of three parts: (i) knowledge-based artificial intelligence, (ii)
data-based artificial intelligence, and (iii) artificial intelligence applications.It is closely related to the
core elements of artificial intelligence, namely knowledge, data, algorithms, and computing powers. This
reflects the authors' deep understanding of the artificial intelligence discipline.

Key Features:

 A comprehensive breakthrough in the core technology of artificial intelligence in the new era
requires a monograph focusing on the progress of new technologies; the booming
industrialization of artificial intelligence also calls for the support of new artificial intelligence
technologies. This book exactly reflects the new background of the development of artificial
intelligence
 This book has obvious innovations in the organization of content. Based on the core technology
of artificial intelligence, the book is divided into three parts, namely, knowledge-based artificial
intelligence, data-based artificial intelligence, and the main application areas of artificial
intelligence
 This book also has features that are not available in other artificial intelligence monographs. It
not only introduces the traditional content of artificial intelligence in a comprehensive manner,
but focuses on computing intelligence, especially neural computing, evolutionary computing and
deep learning
 Pays close attention to the application of new theory and artificial intelligence, especially the
application of deep learning in the fields of machine learning, expert systems, intelligent
planning, image and speech recognition, and natural language processing, to provide readers
with direct reference
 The main author of this book has extensive experience in writing artificial intelligence works. He
has written China's first independent work on artificial intelligence under the guidance of King-
sun Fu, the father of international pattern recognition since1983. This AI book has been
published 10 versions and printed over 50 times, and has issued nearly 1 million copies and has
more than one million readers, becoming China's best-selling artificial intelligence book, gotten
First Prize of Science and Technology Progress Award by National Ministry of Education, and has
been cited by GoogleScholar more than 1,300 times, showing its greater international influence.
Moreover, he wrote the first monograph on intelligent control system in 1997 by WSPC, and
also became a good selling book
The preparation of this book is directly guided by internationally renowned artificial intelligence experts.
For example, Dr Andrew Ng made specific suggestions on the content and arrangement of this book, so
that the content and arrangement of this book can be better synchronized with the new era of artificial
intelligence and better reflect the needs of readers
