Highly recommend the exercises in Rumelhart and McClelland - Parallel Distributed Processing: Explorations in the Microstructure of Cognition from 1986-1987 (two volumes)
I was studying computer science and AI in 1987-1990; I didn't know it was the deepest, darkest pit of AI research despair.
I found the two Rumelhart & McClelland books, just a single copy on the shelf at Cody's Books, soon after publication. I worked through the examples, and was immediately convinced that this low-level approach was a way forward.
For some reason, none of the stressed out Comp Sci professors wanted to listen to a weirdo undergraduate, a lousy student.
I'm glad I was there at a reboot of AI, but my timing was lousy.

Does it hold up for today?
