Artificial Intelligence: Transcending Traditional Paradigms is a significant new introductory text for undergraduate and graduate course use. It introduces students and professionals to the state-of-the-art development of Artificial Intelligence techniques to develop smart real-world solutions. As an active researcher, the author presents the material authoritatively and with insights that reflect a modern, firsthand understanding of the field.

Artificial intelligence is a science still in its infancy, and that makes it special. It's not like more established fields, and the author has tried in writing this textbook to honour this characteristic and the ways it makes AI unique.
