Study Notes

Search Algorithms

Search algorithms in AI are used to find the best possible solutions
Search algorithms transform the initial state to the desired state
Search algorithms in AI help in resolving search issues
A search issue comprises of the search space, start state, and goal state.

Search Algorithm Terminologies

Search Space: Collection of potential solutions.
Start State: The initial state of the agent's search.
Goal State: The desired end state of the problem.
Goal Test: A function that checks if the current state is the goal state.
Search Tree: A representation of a search problem as a tree.
Actions: The possible steps or operations that an agent can take.

Properties for Search Algorithms

Completeness: A search algorithm is complete if it guarantees to return a solution if one exists.
Optimality: A solution found by the algorithm is optimal if it has the lowest path cost among all possible solutions.
Time Complexity: A measure of the time taken by an algorithm to complete its task.
Space Complexity: The maximum storage space required by the algorithm at any point during the search.

Types of Search Algorithms

Uninformed Search: Algorithms that do not use any heuristic information or knowledge about the search space.
- Breadth-First Search
- Depth-First Search
- Depth Limited Search
- Uniform Cost Search
- Bidirectional Search
Informed Search: Algorithms that make use of heuristics.
- Best-First Search (Greedy)
- A* Search

The Queue Data Structure

Queue: A linear data structure following the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) principle for managing data.
- Enqueue (Insert): Adds an element to the rear.
- Dequeue (Delete): Removes and returns the element from the front.

The Stack Data Structure

Stack: A linear data structure following the LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) principle for managing data.
- Push: Adds an element to the top.
- Pop: Removes and returns the element from the top.

Breadth-First Search (BFS)

Advantage: Guaranteed to find the shortest path if one exists.
Disadvantage: Requires significant memory.
Time Complexity: O(bm)
Space Complexity: O(bm) where b is the branching factor (number of child nodes) and m is the maximum depth.

Depth-First Search (DFS):

Advantage: Requires less memory than BFS.
Disadvantage: Not guaranteed to find the shortest path.
Time Complexity: O(bm)
Space Complexity: O(bm)

Depth-Limited Search (DLS)

Improvement over DFS, it has a predefined depth limit to prevent infinite loops.
Advantage: Memory efficient.
Disadvantage: Incomplete-not guaranteed to return a solution

Iterative Deepening Depth-First Search (IDDFS)

Combines benefits of BFS and DFS.
Advantage: Complete and optimal (if all paths have equal cost)
Time/Space Complexity: O(bm); where m is the depth

Bidirectional Search

Implements two searches simultaneously (one from start and one from goal).
Advantage: Faster and requires less memory than other uninformed methods
Disadvantage: Not always possible to apply, as it demands knowledge of the goal state

Uniform Cost Search (UCS)

Explores nodes with the lowest cost first(not the shallowest).
Advantage: Complete and Optimal (if all costs are non-negative)
Time Complexity: O(bd)
Space Complexity: O(bd) where b is branching factor and d is the depth

Informed Search Algorithms:

More efficient than uninformed search as they use heuristics.
Heuristic Function estimates the cost of reaching the goal
Best-First Search
A* Search

Knowledge-Based Agent

Knowledge-based agents rely on a structured knowledge base (KB)
The KB includes facts, rules, and heuristics for reasoning about the world.
The inference engine uses the KB to draw conclusions and make decisions.
- Operations Performed by KB Agent(TELL, ASK, PERFORM) include information gathering, question answering, and action execution.

Rules of Inference

Simplification: If (A ∧ B) is true, then A is true.
Conjunction: If A and B are true, then (A ∧ B) is true.
Disjunctive Addition: If A is true, then (A ∨ B) is true for any B.
Hypothetical Syllogism: If (A → B) and (B → C) are true, then (A → C) is true.
Modus Ponens: If (A → B) and A are true, then B is true.
Modus Tollens: If (A → B) and ¬B are true, then ¬A is true.
Resolution: A method for proving conclusions of a KB by introducing contradictions

Types of Knowledge

Declarative Knowledge: Represents facts.
Procedural Knowledge: Provides step-by-step instructions.
Meta-Knowledge: Represents knowledge about knowledge.
Heuristic Knowledge: Provides rules of thumb or strategies.

Means-Ends Analysis (MEA)

Problem solving technique using recursive sub-goaling.
Reduces initial problems into smaller problems.
Suitable for problems with well-defined states and goals.

Hill Climbing

Optimization algorithm based on local search to find the optimal solution by choosing the immediate best neighbor step, until it reaches to a peak.
Memory Efficient but can get stuck at a local maxima

The Wumpus World

A knowledge representation example used to demonstrate reasoning, and represent knowledge.
The world is represented as a grid.
The agent must find gold without being killed by wumpus, or falling into pits.
