In Search of Simulacra: Modeling a Self-Learning Android - Paperback

by Ted Di Salvo (Author)

In Search of Simulacra is a book written for those interested in Artificial Intelligence and where it could lead. This book is written in plain language and it's only prerequisite is an interest in Artificial Intelligence. The first few chapters takes the reader through a basic understanding of human nature, thinking, learning and problem solving. The book then presents possibilities of how a self-learning Android could work. From there, conceptual information about basic control systems through to Artificial Neural Networks and other software architectures is presented. All in plain language. The rest of the book goes on to explain, again in plain language, the details of how a self-learning Android could work by putting together those previously described control systems.
