Study Notes
Agents and States in AI
- An agent is a system that perceives its environment and makes actions.
- A state represents the current configuration of the agent and its environment.
- The state space of a search problem includes all states reachable from the initial state using any sequence of actions.
- The initial state is the starting point for the search.
- The transition model defines the outcome of performing actions in particular states.
- The ACTIONS() function in a search problem lists the possible actions available in each state.
- A goal test determines if a given state is a goal state.
- The path cost function calculates the cost of a given path.
- A solution to a search problem is a sequence of actions leading from the initial state to a goal state.
- An optimal solution is the solution with the lowest path cost.
Search Algorithms
- Breadth-first search explores the shallowest nodes first.
- Depth-first search explores the deepest nodes in the frontier first.
- Depth-first search uses a stack.
- An informed search algorithm uses problem-specific knowledge to find efficient solutions.
- Greedy best-first search expands nodes with the lowest estimated cost to reach the goal.
- A* search expands nodes based on the lowest value of g(n) + h(n).
- g(n) represents the cost to reach a node from the initial state.
