    Study Notes

    Artificial Intelligence

    • AI involves solving problems using intelligent agents that interact with environments
    • Rationality is a key aspect of intelligent agents, which strive to make optimal decisions

    Agents and Environments

    • Agents perceive and act upon environments, which can be fully or partially observable
    • Environments can be deterministic or stochastic, and can be affected by the agent's actions
    • Agents can be simple reflex agents, model-based reflex agents, or goal-based agents

    Problem Solving Agents

    • Problem solving agents use various strategies to achieve goals, including planning and problem formulation
    • Planning involves decomposition of tasks into sub-tasks and execution of plans
    • Classical planning problems involve finding a sequence of actions to achieve a goal

    Searching and Game Theory

    • Searching involves finding a path to a goal state, which can be done using uninformed and informed search strategies
    • Uninformed search strategies include BFS, DFS, and UCS
    • Informed search strategies include Greedy Best First Search and A* Search
    • Adversarial search involves finding the best move in a game, using algorithms like Minimax and Alpha-Beta pruning
    • Evaluation functions are used to estimate the value of a game state

    Knowledge Representation and Reasoning

    • Logical agents reason using propositional and first-order logic
    • Knowledge-based agents use knowledge representation schemes, such as semantic networks and frames
    • Wumpus world is a classic example of a knowledge-based agent
    • Propositional logic involves AND, OR, and NOT operators, and resolution patterns
    • First-order logic involves predicates and quantifiers, and can be used for inference

    Uncertain Knowledge and Reasoning

    • Bayes' rule is used to update probabilities based on new evidence
    • Time and uncertainty are key aspects of decision-making under uncertainty
    • Utility functions are used to quantify preferences and make decisions
    • Markov decision processes (MDPs) involve making decisions in partially observable environments
    • Value iteration and policy iteration are algorithms for solving MDPs
