    Study Notes

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) - Agent

    • An agent is anything that senses the environment using sensors and acts upon that environment through its actuators.
    • A sensor receives input from the environment.
    • An actuator helps interact with the environment.
    • Percept is the perceptual input of an agent at a given moment.
    • Percept sequence is the complete history of everything the agent has perceived.
    • Agent function (control policy function) is a set of condition-rules based on which an agent can make decision actions.

    Applications of Agents

    • AI is successfully used in:
      • Finance
      • Robotics
      • Games
      • Medicine
      • The web

    Vacuum Cleaner Agent

    • Example: A vacuum cleaner agent's percepts might be location and status (e.g., [A, Dirty]).
    • Actions: Left, Right, Suck, NoOp.
    • Function Vacuum-Agent([location, status]) returns an action.
      • If status is Dirty, then return Suck.
      • If location is A, then return Right.
      • If location is B, then return Left.

    Rational Agent

    • Performance measure is an objective criterion (utility function) for assessing an agent's success.
    • Performance measures for a vacuum-cleaner agent include amount of dirt cleaned, time taken, electricity consumed, and noise level.
    • Self-driving car performance measures include time to destination (minimized), safety, predictability to other agents, and reliability.
    • Game-playing agent performance measures include win/loss percentage (maximized), robustness, and unpredictability (to confuse the opponent).
    • A rational agent, for each possible percept sequence, selects an action that maximizes its performance measure given the percept sequence evidence. This includes the agent's built-in knowledge.
    • Rationality means doing the right thing.
    • Rationality involves maximizing expected performance, information gathering, exploration, and learning.

    Variables in Python

    • Python is case-sensitive.
    • Types of variables include string, float, integer, Boolean, complex, list, tuple, set, and dictionary.
    • Number variables (integer, float):
      • To define: x = 5, y = 5.5.
      • Conversion between data types: x1 = str(x), y2 = bool(y), x2 = complex(x, y).
      • Arithmetic operations: print(x + y, x - y, x * y, x / y, x**y, x % y, x // y).
    • String variables:
      • To define: name = "ali".
      • Accessing characters: print(a[5]), print(a[4:12]).
      • Repeating strings/characters: print(a*3).
      • Splitting strings: print(a.split()).
      • Partitioning strings: print(a.partition('')).
      • Finding characters/words: print(a.find("artificial")).
      • Replacing characters: print(a.replace('a', 'z')).
      • Counting characters/words: print(a.count("e")).
      • Converting case: print(a.upper()), print(a.lower()), print(a.capitalize()), print(a.title()), print(a.swapcase()).
    • Boolean variables:
      • To define: a = True, x = False.
