First Ed thus; First Printing indicated. Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of wear to extremities; mildest rubbing. Binding square and secure; text clean. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 231pp. Trade Paperback. The authors discuss the difficulties inherent in programming intuitive skills into an expert system. Examples of programming patterns of light and dark regions on x-rays are illustrated. X-rays can be stored into memory and compared to known diagnostic attributes. With enough experience, you can profile the optimal decision for many groups of related situations. This is a good reference work for explaining practical problems in implementing artificial intelligence algorithms. This is one of the most accessible philosophical critiques of expert systems development. A good read and still relevant. First Ed thus; First Printing indicated.

Arguing the power of human intuition over the technical strengths of computer technology, Hubert and Stuart Drefyus present a stunning reaffirmation of human intelligence.
A compelling approach to inferiority of binary logic, Mind Over Machine presents a reassuring argument that human intuition and expertise will remain far more valuable than technology develops.
