Study Notes
AI Background and Motivation
- AI is an old science, tracing its roots back to Aristotle, who defined his "philosophy of nature" as the "study of things that change".
- Aristotle's work distinguished between the matter and form of things, which provides a philosophical basis for modern notions such as symbolic computing and data abstraction.
Overview of AI Application Areas
- The book provides an overview of important application areas in AI, including search, stochastic methodology, and software architectures.
AI Research Tools
- Part II of the book introduces research tools for AI problem solving, including:
- Predicate calculus as a mathematical system and representation language (Chapter 2)
- Search algorithms and data structures (Chapter 3)
- Heuristics in focusing and constraining search-based problem solving (Chapter 4)
- Stochastic methodology for reasoning in situations of uncertainty (Chapter 5)
- Software architectures for implementing search algorithms (Chapter 6)
Representations for AI
- Part III of the book discusses representations for AI, knowledge-intensive problem solving, and reasoning in changing and ambiguous situations, including:
- Association-based networks, conceptual dependency theory, frames, and scripts (Chapter 7)
- Conceptual graphs and their application to natural language database front ends (Chapter 7 and 14)
- Probabilistic component to reinforcement learning (Chapter 10)
Automated Reasoning and Natural Language Understanding
- Part V of the book presents automated reasoning and natural language understanding, including:
- Theorem proving, including binary resolution proof procedures and the Prolog interpreter (Chapter 14)
- Natural language understanding, including stochastic approaches and machine learning techniques (Chapter 15)
Epilogue and Future of AI
- Chapter 16 serves as an epilogue, discussing the possibility of a science of intelligent systems, contemporary challenges to AI, and projecting its exciting future.
This quiz explores the roots of Artificial Intelligence, tracing back to Aristotle, and discusses its essential background and motivation. It also covers some important application areas in AI.
