人工智慧：智慧型系統導論（第四版）  

1. 淺顯易懂：本書刻意避開艱深的電腦科學專業術語，不會充斥複雜的矩陣代數和微分方程。作者強調書中的概念其實相當簡單直觀，適合一般讀者閱讀。
2. 無程式門檻：讀者不需要具備程式設計能力或深厚的微積分基礎就能理解內容。這本書是根據作者30年來授課經驗，針對非資訊背景的學生編寫而成。
3. 實用導向：書中涵蓋專家系統、模糊系統、類神經網路、深度學習等主題，並說明如何選擇合適的工具來解決實際問題。特別適合想要運用AI解決實務問題的讀者。
4. 跨領域應用：本書的目標讀者包含工程師、科學家、企業經理人、醫生、律師等各行各業的專業人士，特別適合那些想用非傳統方法解決問題的人。
5. 與時俱進：書中介紹最新的AI工具和技術，包括MATLAB工具箱(模糊邏輯、類神經網路、全域最佳化、深度學習)以及ChatGPT等。雖然書中會展示這些工具的使用，但內容並不綁定於特定工具，讀者可以靈活運用不同的工具來實作。 

What are the principles behind intelligent systems? How are they built? What are intelligent systems useful for? How do we choose the right tool for the job? These questions are answered by Michael Negnevitsky’s Artificial Intelligence: A Guide to Intelligent Systems.

Unlike many books on computer intelligence, which use complex computer science terminology and are crowded with complex matrix algebra and differential equations, this text demonstrates that the ideas behind intelligent systems are simple and straightforward. This text assumes little or no programming experience as it tackles topics like expert systems, fuzzy systems, artificial neural networks, evolutionary computation, knowledge engineering, and data mining.
