“The book under review is a textbook that features sub-symbolic approaches developed within the field of Artificial Intelligence […]. It can be used as a companion book for lectures, with exercises and slides to be found on the book’s website. With its focus on sub-symbolic approaches, it presents a comprehensive and detailed source of information complementary to other commonly used textbooks in Artificial Intelligence that mostly focus on symbolic approaches.”
