An Introduction to Universal Artificial Intelligence | Computer Science

Product Description

An Introduction to Universal Artificial Intelligence provides the formal underpinning of what it means for an agent to act intelligently in an unknown environment. First presented in Universal Algorithmic Intelligence (Hutter 2000) UAI offers a framework in which virtually all AI problems can be formulated and a theory of how to solve them. UAI unifies ideas from sequential decision theory Bayesian inference and algorithmic information theory to construct AIXI an optimal reinforcement learning agent that learns to act optimally in unknown environments. AIXI is the theoretical gold standard for intelligent behavior. The book covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of UAI. Bayesian …
