Study Notes
AI Problem Representation
- An AI problem has an initial configuration called the initial state represented by (s°) and the goal state (G).
- To solve an AI problem, you start from the initial state and apply actions to reach the goal state.
- Actions transform the current state into a new state, moving progressively towards the goal state.
Problem Solving in AI
- Problem solving in AI involves finding a path from the initial state to the goal state within the search space.
- The search space encompasses all possible states and actions that can be applied to each state.
- Problem solving can be visualized as a graph, where nodes represent states and edges represent actions.
Graph & Tree Representation
- A Search problem can be represented using directed graphs, undirected graphs, or weighted graphs.
- Directed graphs represent states as nodes and actions as arcs, indicating direction.
- Undirected graphs represent actions without a specific direction.
- Weighted graphs represent costs associated with actions as arc weights.
Adjacency Matrix
- An adjacency matrix, a square matrix, can represent a graph.
- For undirected graphs, a value of 1 in the matrix signifies the presence of an edge between nodes, while 0 represents no connection.
- For directed graphs, rows represent source nodes, columns represent destination nodes, and the value 1 indicates an edge from source to destination.
Example Problem Representations
- Travel from Arad to Bucharest: The initial state is Arad, the goal state is Bucharest, and the actions are represented by roads connecting different cities.
- Robot in a Maze: The initial state is the robot's starting position (e.g., location A), the goal state is the target position (e.g., locations G or J), the state space includes all grid locations, and actions represent movements (e.g., left, right, up, down).
- Tower of Hanoi: The initial state represents the arrangement of disks on pegs (e.g., all disks on peg 1), the goal state represents all disks sorted on peg 3, and actions involve moving disks between pegs following specific rules.
- Missionaries and Cannibals: The initial state represents the initial distribution of missionaries and cannibals on each side of the river and the location of the boat, the goal state represents all missionaries and cannibals on the other side of the river, and actions involve transporting people across the river in the boat with limitations on the number of people and the rule that cannibals cannot outnumber missionaries on either side.
Representing The Search Space
- Search problems can be represented as a tuple [S, s°, O, G].
- S: The set of all states in the problem
- s°: The initial state
- O: The set of state transition operators (actions)
- G: The set of goal states
- This representation aims to find a series of actions to move from the initial state to a goal state.
