    Study Notes

    AI Production Systems

    • An AI production system operates through a search process. Rules are tried until a sequence of them satisfies the termination condition.
    • A production system is composed of:
      • Global Database: Contains facts and information.
      • Rules: Production rules that express knowledge.
      • Control Strategy: Defines how rules are selected and executed.
    • Representation Problem: Transforming a problem statement into these three components.
    • Working Memory: The database in a production system.
    • Rule Eligibility: A rule becomes eligible to fire when its conditions match elements in the working memory.
    • Rule Firing: Applying a rule to the working memory generates new facts.
    • Control Strategy Determines: Which eligible rule to fire next.

    Production Systems vs. Conventional Computation

    • All rules have access to the global database, unlike conventional systems where sections of the program may have limited access.
    • Rules in a production system don't directly call other rules. Communication happens through the global database.
    • Production systems are modular, allowing independent changes to components.
    • Conventional computation requires extensive changes if the knowledge space changes, while production systems are more adaptable.

    Procedural Steps in a Production System

    • Start with an initial database and apply rules until the termination condition is met.
    • Select a rule from the rule set that can be applied to the current data.
    • Apply the rule to generate new data.
    • Repeat this process until the termination condition is satisfied, reaching the goal state.

    Control Strategies

    • Control strategy: Selecting rules and tracking the sequences of rules already tried.
    • Uninformed Control: When little is known about the problem, rule selection can be arbitrary.
    • Informed Control: When knowledge about the problem guides the control strategy to select the right rule.

    Computational Cost

    • Rule application cost is high for uninformed control systems as numerous rules need to be tried.
    • Uninformed Search: An initial step in understanding search in AI.
    • State space: Contains all possible configurations of the problem.
    • Initial state: The starting point of the problem.
    • Goal state: The desired solution to the problem.
    • Operators: Rules describing actions or operations available.

    Graph Search Procedure

    • Start Node (s): The initial state of the problem.
    • Successors: Nodes reachable from the current node.
    • Open List: Contains nodes waiting to be explored.
    • Closed List: Contains nodes that have already been explored.
    • Expansion: Generating successors of a node.
    • Goal Check: Determining if the current node is the goal node.
    • Failure: Exiting the search if there are no more nodes to expand (empty open list).
    • Expands nodes level by level, starting from the initial state.
    • Open List Implementation: Queue with first-in, first-out (FIFO) behavior.
    • Completeness: For finite branching factor (b), all nodes will be explored eventually.
    • Time Complexity: O(b^d) - exponential growth based on branching factor (b) and depth (d) of the shallowest goal node.
    • Space Complexity: O(b^d) - stores all nodes examined, leading to exponential space requirement.
    • Optimality: Guaranteed for unit step cost (every action has a cost of 1), as it will find the shallowest goal first.
    • Expands the deepest unexpanded node.
    • Open List Implementation: Last-in, first-out (LIFO) behavior, similar to a stack.
    • Completeness: May not be complete for infinite depth or cycles.
    • Time Complexity: O(b^m) - exponential, based on branching factor (b) and maximum depth (m) of the search space.
    • Space Complexity: O(bm) - stores only the path to the currently explored node.
    • Optimality: Not guaranteed, might find a deeper solution before a shallower, more optimal one.
