When I first participated in exploring theories of nonmonotonic reasoning in the late 1970s, I had no idea of the wealth of conceptual and mathematical results that would emerge from those halting first steps.  Meer

In 1992 it seemed very difficult to answer the question whether it would be possible to develop a portable system for the automatic recognition and translation of spon­ taneous speech.  Meer

With the rapid growth in the use of computers to manipulate, process, and reason about multimedia data, the problem of how to store and retrieve such data is becoming increasingly important.  Meer

Explores the many competitions that have pitted artificial intelligence against human intelligence, including in Go, chess, and Jeopardy! Clear text, vibrant photos, and helpful infographics make this book an accessible and engaging read.  Meer

Explores how artificial intelligence is currently being used in the real world, including in health care, retail, manufacturing, and homes. Clear text, vibrant photos, and helpful infographics make this book an accessible and engaging read.  Meer

Das Thema der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Problemstellung maschineller Erkennung gespro­ chener Sprache. Ein wichtiger Forschungszweig auf diesem Gebiet ist gegenwärtig die Ent­ wicklung telefonischer Auskunftsdialogsysteme, die es einem Benutzer beispielsweise gestat­ ten, Zugverbindungsinformationen abzurufen, Platz-oder Hotelreservierungen vorzunehmen oder Bankgeschäfte zu tätigen.  Meer

The main subject and objective of this book are logical foundations of non­ monotonic reasoning. This bears a presumption that there is such a thing as a general theory of non monotonic reasoning, as opposed to a bunch of systems for such a reasoning existing in the literature.  Meer

"The central fact is that we are planning agents." (M. Bratman, Intentions, Plans, and Practical Reasoning, 1987, p. 2) Recent arguments to the contrary notwithstanding, it seems to be the case that people-the best exemplars of general intelligence that we have to date­ do a lot of planning.  Meer

It is a pleasure and an honor to be able to present this collection of papers to Ray Reiter on the occasion of his 60th birthday. To say that Ray's research has had a deep impact on the field of Artificial Intel­ ligence is a considerable understatement.  Meer

The primary aim of this monograph is to provide a formal framework for the representation and management of uncertainty and vagueness in the field of artificial intelligence.  Meer

Logic Programming was founded 25 years ago. This exciting new text reveals both the evolution of this programming paradigm since its inception and the impressively broad scope of current research in Logic Programming.  Meer

This monograph describes a methodology for the design of knowledge-based systems. A knowledge-based system contains knowledge as well as information and data.  Meer
