Study Notes
-
AI research aims to achieve general intelligence, including sub-goals such as reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, learning, natural language processing, perception, and robotics support.
-
Reasoning and problem-solving methods include step-by-step algorithms, uncertain or incomplete information handling, and mathematical optimization. Early methods faced the "combinatorial explosion" issue, and accurate and efficient reasoning remains an unsolved problem.
-
Knowledge representation and knowledge engineering allow AI programs to answer questions and make deductions about factual knowledge through formal representations, such as knowledge bases and ontologies. Knowledge bases must represent various aspects, including objects, properties, situations, causes and effects, and knowledge about knowledge. Acquiring knowledge for AI applications is a challenge.
-
Planning and decision making involve rational agents with goals or preferences, making decisions based on utility and expected utility. Classical planning assumes exact knowledge of action effects, while real-world planning deals with uncertainty, probabilistic guesses, and learning. Game theory is used to model rational behavior of multiple agents.
-
Machine learning is a part of AI that focuses on programs that can improve performance on tasks automatically. There are several types, such as supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning.
-
Natural language processing (NLP) is a subfield of AI that deals with understanding, interpreting, and generating human language. It includes tasks such as speech recognition, machine translation, text summarization, and sentiment analysis.
-
Perception involves enabling AI systems to interpret sensory information from the environment and make decisions based on it. This includes computer vision, speech recognition, and other sensory modalities.
-
Robotics involves the design, construction, and operation of robots that can perform tasks in the physical world. AI is used in robotics to enable autonomous behavior and decision-making.
-
Support for robotics includes research on robotics hardware, control systems, and software, as well as AI techniques for tasks such as motion planning and manipulation.
-
AI also draws upon various fields, including psychology, linguistics, philosophy, neuroscience, and mathematics. The interdisciplinary nature of AI research is a key aspect of its complexity and potential.
-
The study of organisms and their interactions with the environment started in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia around 3000-1200 BCE.
-
Ancient Greek philosophers such as Aristotle and Theophrastus contributed significantly to biological knowledge, exploring biological causation and the diversity of life.
-
Islamic scholars in the medieval period further advanced medical and natural history studies, especially in the fields of anatomy and botany.
-
Microscopes were dramatically improved in the 17th century, leading to the discovery of spermatozoa, bacteria, infusoria, and a diverse range of microscopic life.
-
Carl Linnaeus published a basic taxonomy for the natural world in 1735 and introduced scientific names for all species.
-
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and Charles Darwin were pioneers in the development of evolutionary thinking, proposing theories of evolution based on natural selection.
-

-
A focus on molecular genetics began in the 1940s and 1950s with the discovery of DNA as the carrier of genetic information.
-
Water plays a crucial role in life as it is an effective solvent, allowing solutes to come in contact and take part in chemical reactions. It is a small polar molecule with a bent shape made up of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms. Water is cohesive due to hydrogen bonds and is both adhesive and denser as a liquid than a solid.
