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.

Great Book, but don't get the Kindle version

November 1, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Great book, bad Kindle version.

I'm an undergrad. I bought this to learn Lisp, and it's absolutely blown my mind with how good it is. I've learned more from this book than I ever will from my college classes. I'd say this has been a really good introduction to Lisp, and a really good introduction to AI. It's easily becoming my favorite programming book. It's covered more material than 3/4 of my programming classes combined.

The kindle version is bad though. The syntax is all wonky, which is critical when you need to differentiate `s from 's and ,s from .s. There are tons of misspellings in the kindle version. The code formatting is very difficult to read. Thankfully I've been able to get the code from the Peter Norvig's web page. If you can, get the paper edition. This is the second Common Lisp book I've read, so I've had enough experience that I can debug all of these problems myself.

A good AI book and an advanced 1000-page CL tutorial

January 28, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

As for AI part I must say that even though this book is somewhat old, its still very good for people new to the world of AI (such as myself). Since I only have another Norvig's book (http://www.amazon.com/Artificial-Intelligence-Modern-Approach-Edition/dp/0137903952/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1359373092&sr=8-3&keywords=Norvig) to compare to I must say that this book takes a more practical approach, allowing one to understand ways in which implementation efficiency can be improved.

For CL part - the best CL introduction and real world usage book in my opinion. Yes, I've read PCL, yet still this book digs a lot deeper when it comes to optimization patterns for Common Lisp. Motivation for almost every design choice is clear (overcoming Prolog's drawbacks is one of my favorite parts).

Also this book offers a variety of exercises and some of those are quite a time-killers.

As for cons - some of the exercises are formulated a bit freely. And again, book is 20 years old, so some content is a bit outdated, especially techno-related.

Great practical programming book; dated treatment of AI but still interesting.

Classic book on both programming and AI. While the AI material is obviously dated, the programming examples are great for anyone who wants to learn Common Lisp.

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The book is excellent. It provides a great source of information to learn Common Lisp and programming techniques. The exercises are nontrivial which makes the book great to use in my classes. I am using it to teach programming courses.

Nevertheless, the kindle version has a lot of problems. The code blocks are images, so I can't resize the fonts, show them in the projector during the class doesn't work. There are a lot of small typos in the text. Some cross-references like "in page X" must be rewrite to links that better fit the electronic format. I am very frustrated with the current electronic version and I hope that Amazon improve it soon. It would be great to have some feedback from Amazon about my suggestions of improvement.

Excellent for both AI and Common Lisp

January 14, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a excellent book for both the history of AI and a lot of program written very well in Common Lisp. Peter Norvig is actually
very enthusastic about AI and programming. From a glimpse of the book, I know it is valuable for learner both of AI and Common Lisp. So I decided to buy one for myself.

First-rate introduction to AI and LISP

September 8, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

In my opinion, this book is essential reading for anyone who seriously sets out to learn about artificial intelligence, and as far as I can see, it is also prime reference material for anyone already working in the field.

An excellent introduction to some useful AI algorithms.

The best

The best Lisp book for experienced programmers. He shows how to develop medium sized Lisp systems. I don't know of any books that show
large Lisp systems.Read more

A mediocre AI / LISP book with very well-written examples

First, the good:

This book is a great read, both the code and non-code sections. Peter Norvig is clearly passionate about AI, and it comes through in his examples.Read more
