Study Notes
Course Information
- Course Title: Artificial Intelligence: Principles and Practice
- University: Menoufia University
- Department: Computer Science Department
- Author: Dr. Sherif Eletriby
- Edition: First Edition 2022
Chapter 1: Introduction
-
What is AI?
- No single standard definition exists
- Webster's Dictionary defines AI as the capability of computers to mimic human thought processes like reasoning and learning
- AI field is broad and encompasses diverse subfields
-
AI Research
- Aims to give machines the ability to reason, represent knowledge, plan, learn, communicate, perceive, move, and manipulate objects
- Approaches include symbolic methods (knowledge-based AI) and sub-symbolic methods (computational intelligence)
-
History of AI
- Began in the early 1950s
- Term "Artificial Intelligence" coined in 1956
- Industrial Revolution (starting in 1760) shifted towards machine-based power, and now aim is to replace human intelligence
Chapter 2: Intelligent Agents
-
Agents
- Anything that perceives its environment through sensors and acts upon it through actuators
- Key components include sensors, actuators, and a model of the world
- Examples include a vacuum cleaner (e.g., moving around a room, picking up dirt)
-
Vacuum world
- A simple environment for illustrating agent operation
- Involves cleaning a two-location area. Agent can move left, right or clean.
-
Problem Definition (Example: Vacuum world)
- Agent function definition
- Percepts (e.g., current location & contents)
- Actions (e.g., Left, Right, Suck, NoOp)
- Agent's function is determined through a "look-up table"
-
Agent Types
- Simple Reflex Agents: React to immediate perceptions without considering past history
- Model-Based Reflex Agents: Possess an internal model/representation of the environment
- Goal-Based Agents: Decide on actions that lead them closer to their goal states.
- Utility-Based Agents: Choose actions based on a utility function that assesses how "happy" they would be in different situations
- Learning Agents: Agents are capable of learning from past experience
