Books mentioned, in the order they came up
-
Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement Learning by Rich Sutton serves as a definitive textbook on the machine learning approach where agents learn to make decisions by taking actions to maximize cumulative reward.
Recommended“a nice cute example is elevator control that is also in rich Sutton's book which is a great book by the way”

Artificial Intelligence: a Modern Approach
Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig is widely recognized as the definitive academic textbook on artificial intelligence, providing a comprehensive overview of the field's foundational concepts and methodologies.
Recommended“I would always start with Russell and Norvig artificial intelligence a modern approach that's the AI Bible It's an amazing book It's very broad It covers you know all approaches to AI and even if you focus on one approach I think that is the minimum you should know about the other approaches out there So that should be your”

An Introduction to Kolmogorov Complexity and Its Applications
An Introduction to Kolmogorov Complexity and Its Applications by Ming Li and Paul M.B.
Recommended“if you like the information theoretic approach then there's Kolmogorov complexity by Alene batani but probably you know some some short article is enough you don't need to read a whole book but it's a great book”
