Description
Paradigms of AI Programming is the first text to teach advanced Common Lisp techniques in the context of building major AI
systems. By reconstructing authentic, complex AI programs using state-of-the-art Common Lisp, the book teaches students and professionals
how to build and debug robust practical programs, while demonstrating superior programming style and important AI concepts. The author
strongly emphasizes the practical performance issues involved in writing real working programs of significant size. Chapters on troubleshooting
and efficiency are included, along with a discussion of the fundamentals of object-oriented programming and a description of the main
CLOS functions. This volume is an excellent text for a course on AI programming, a useful supplement for general AI courses and an indispensable
reference for the professional programmer.
