Artificial Intelligence (AI) Problems & Techniques

  • AI is a field of computer science that mimics human intelligent behaviour.
  • It aims to create systems that perform tasks humans currently excel at.
  • Modern AI systems surpass human capabilities in certain areas.
  • AI addresses problems that are difficult or impossible for individual humans to solve.

AI Problems Categorization

  • Mundane tasks: Involve tasks humans perform daily.
    • Perception: Includes vision and speech recognition.

    • Financial analysis: Analyzing financial data for predictions.

Physical Symbol System Hypothesis

  • A physical symbol system (PSS) contains symbols and rules to manipulate them.
  • Symbols can represent objects, concepts, or data.
  • Processes in a PSS change or create symbol structures.
  • A PSS can change symbol structures without external intervention to create the possibility for general intelligent action.

Role of Knowledge

  • Crucial for intelligent action.
  • Knowledge has challenging properties:
    • Voluminous: Vast amount of data involved.
    • Hard to characterize accurately: Difficulty in defining and representing knowledge.
    • Constantly changing: Knowledge evolves over time, requiring updates.
    • Differs from data: Organized in ways that reflect how it is used.

AI Techniques

  • AI techniques exploit knowledge by representing it in a useful way.
  • Generalization focuses on grouping similar situations.
  • Interpretability allows knowledge providers to quickly understand.
  • Modifiability lets the system adapt quickly to changes in knowledge.
  • Certainty allows flexibility in different situations.

Tic-Tac-Toe Problem (Solutions 1 & 2)

  • Solution 1: Efficient but requires significant upfront work to define the optimal moves and stores them in a table, taking a lot of memory.
  • Solution 2: Easy to understand and implement however not very fast, taking time because it involves evaluating multiple conditions.

Magic Square

  • Arrangement of numbers in a grid, where rows, columns, and diagonals sum up to the same value.
  • 3x3 magic square sums up to 15.
  • 5x5 magic square sums up to 65.

  • Represents the board as a magic square, numbering cells to enable faster calculation of winning moves.
  • Efficient calculation of possible winning moves for both players.

Tic-Tac-Toe Solution 3 (Minimax Strategy)

  • Uses a heuristic function to evaluate the potential of winning different moves.
  • Uses recursion to check and calculate possible moves.
  • This more general solution can be extended to more complex 2-player games
  • However, this is more computationally intensive than the others presented.

2-Ply Search with MiniMax

  • A two-step decision-making model used in game-playing.
  • This example demonstrates how to evaluate and select the best moves in a game like tic-tac-toe.

Criteria for Success of AI (Turing Test)

  • A test to determine whether a computer can exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human.
  • It involves a human evaluator interacting with both a human and a computer and attempting to differentiate them.
