Publisher's Synopsis
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been around almost as long as computers have
been. It is only relatively recently, however, that some basic AI techniques have
been brought to bear on common software problems. This is not a book about
AI theory. It is a book about utilizing some AI technologies to enhance the
value of both new and existing applications. The four AI areas covered in this
book are Speech Recognition, Intelligent Agents, Data Mining, and Rule-Based
Systems. Through sample real-world applications, Sara Rea shows how to make
the AI technologies both accessible and usable. Most books on AI are either
dense, theoretical text books, or else general-interest trade books. This will be
the first book to show working .NET developers how to incorporate AI into
their daily work.
