Study Notes
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Overview
- AI is a method of making computers, robots, or software think like humans.
- This involves mimicking human problem-solving and decision-making abilities.
- AI leverages computers and machines to achieve this result.
Core Concepts
-
Intelligence: The ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. Psychologists see it as learning, problem-solving, and recognizing problems.
-
Agent: Anything that perceives the environment via sensors and acts upon it through actuators. These can be people, robots, or computer programs.
- Structure of Agents: Combining architecture (physical/software elements) with a program (instructions).
-
Environment: Everything that surrounds the agent, excluding the agent itself.
- Nature of Environments:
- Fully observable vs Partially observable: How much information is directly available to the agent.
- Static vs Dynamic: Does the environment change while the agent is making decisions.
- Discrete vs Continuous: Is it possible to take an infinite number of steps or actions; are there a finite number.
- Deterministic vs Stochastic: Can the future of the environment's state be determined from the agent's current state and action.
- Single-agent vs Multi-agent: One agent acting, or multiple agents interacting in the same environment.
- Episodic vs Sequential: Does the agent need to store information about past actions/states.
- Known vs Unknown: Does the agent know the rules/mechanisms of the environment from the outset.
- Accessible vs Inaccessible: Is full access to the environment's state permitted.
- Nature of Environments:
-
Sensors: Devices that detect changes in the environment and send information.
-
Actuators: Mechanisms that convert energy into motion—responsible for performing actions.
-
Effectors: The devices that affect the environment (e.g., legs, wheels, arms).
-
PEAS Representation: A model for describing properties of an AI agent.
- P: Performance Measure (e.g., time efficiency, accuracy)
- E: Environment
- A: Actuators
- S: Sensors
Learning Agents
- Agents that can learn from past experiences.
- They start with basic knowledge and adapt.
- Key components:
- Learning Element: Improves based on experience.
- Critic: Provides feedback on agent performance.
- Performance Element: Selects actions in the environment.
- Problem Generator: Suggests useful actions to improve learning.
Problem Solving Agents
-
Agents that decide actions by finding sequences that lead to a desired state or solution.
-
Use search in their computation to decide.
-
Problem Formulation Components needed:
- Initial State: Agent's starting point.
- Actions: Possible agent actions.
- Transition Model: Results of each action in the environment.
- Goal Test: Identifies if the current state is the goal state.
- Path Cost: Numerical cost of each path to goal.
-
Types of Problems:
- Standardized/Toy Problems: Designed for demonstration/testing, simply described.
- Real-world Problems: More complex tasks with the need of thorough solutions.
Example Problems
- Vacuum World Problem: Agents move on a grid to suck up dirt.
- Grid World Problem: Agents navigate a matrix of cells that may contain obstacles.
- Eight Puzzle Problem: Tiles must be rearranged to meet a goal state (order).
