Probabilistic Models of Cognition

Good reading. Nice introduction that explains when approaching AI development it's difficult to provide a computer with an exact rigid mechanical model of how the world works, and that's not how we think anyway, but rather we store a lot of small inference models we learned of how things work in general, and then we recall these simple rules to make guesses on what will probably happen in each situation, hence the probabilistic approach to cognition.

Wow. Even starting to explain generative algorithm that can predict a sentence completion or estimate flight of a ball to a dunderhead like me is a tall order - but they have started well

I had like a lot of pop-ups with ajax failures?

Is there a dead-tree version yet? This is required reading.

love this book.
