There are different levels of understanding of the problem: informal, theoretical, statistical, and analytical. These provide a good combination of experience:
This understanding enables us to manipulate the problem in two ways:
The AI engineer plays a crucial role in acquiring this understanding and applying it:
This chapter discussed knowledge of the problem in conceptual terms. More than half a dozen problems have already been solved using most of these concepts. These ideas will also enlighten the design of remaining prototypes. The methodology for solving complex problems will become more obvious with further practice.
