AI FAQ part 4 (Bibliography) Hat
This part of the AI FAQ provides a bibliography of good introductory texts and overviews of AI and specific subfields of AI. If you feel that there is a reference or set of references which should be added to this FAQ, or references which should be removed, please send email to mkant+ai-faq@cs.cmu.edu. When suggesting references to be included in a particular subfield, only suggest the best two or three references (or a particularly well-written overview). It is NOT the intention of this listing to be a comprehensive AI bibliography.

Books suggested by their authors must present a strongly argued case. Also, I generally will include books in this list only after I have had a chance to look at them. If you are the author or publisher of a new AI-related text, and you want me to consider your book for this list, send a complimentary copy to Mark Kantrowitz, School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University, 5000 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3891 USA. Please don't waste my time with books that are clearly not appropriate for this list. When I am done with the book I will donate it to the CMU Engineering & Science Library.
