Study Notes
Artificial Intelligence Foundations
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the study of how to make computers do things better than people.
- AI can be defined as the simulation of human intelligence on a machine to make the machine efficient in identifying and using the right piece of knowledge at a given step of solving a problem.
Intelligence and Rationality
- Intelligence is the ability to learn, understand, and think.
- Rational thinking involves thinking like humans, thinking rationally, and formalizing inference processes.
- The General Problem Solver (GPS) is a computational model that reflects the "how" of results obtained, producing a sequence of steps similar to those followed by a person in solving the same task.
Turing Test
- The Turing Test is an intelligent behavior that achieves human-level performance in all cognitive tasks, sufficient to fool an interrogator.
- A computer would need to possess natural language processing, knowledge representation, automated reasoning, machine learning, computer vision, and robotics to pass the total Turing Test.
Discipline of AI
- The discipline of AI involves multiple subjects, including:
- Reasoning
- Learning
- Planning
- Perception
- Knowledge Acquisition
- Intelligent Search
- Uncertainty Management
- Language and Robotics
- Game Playing and Theorem Proving
- Image Understanding and Navigation
Learning Systems
- Learning systems involve knowledge representation and reasoning.
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
- Knowledge representation techniques include:
- Production rules
- Semantic nets
- Frames
- Filler and slots
- Predicate logic
- The selection of a particular type of representational scheme depends on the nature of applications and user choice.
Planning
- Planning involves determining the methodology by which a successful goal can be achieved from the known initial states.
- Reasoning and planning share many common issues.
Knowledge Acquisition
- Knowledge acquisition involves generating new pieces of knowledge from a given knowledge base, setting dynamic data structures for existing knowledge, learning from the environment, and refining knowledge.
Intelligent Search
- Intelligent search problems are non-deterministic, and the order of visiting the elements in the search space is completely dependent on data sets.
Logic Programming
- Logic programming involves representing logical statements using symbolic operators, such as propositional logic and predicate logic.
- PROLOG (PROgramming in LOGic) is a famous programming language for logic programming.
Soft Computing
- Soft computing is an emerging approach to computing that parallels the human mind's ability to reason and learn in an environment of uncertainty and imprecision.
- Soft computing tools and techniques include:
- Fuzzy logic
- Artificial Neural nets
- Genetic Algorithms
- Inductive Logic Programming
Fuzzy Logic
- Fuzzy logic deals with fuzzy sets and logical connectives for modeling human-like reasoning problems in the real world.
- Fuzzy sets include all elements of the universal set of the domain but with varying membership values in the interval [0,1].
Artificial Neural Nets
- Artificial Neural Nets (ANNs) are electrical analogues of biological neural nets.
- ANNs are collections of electrical neurons connected in different topologies, and are commonly used in machine learning applications.
Applications of AI Techniques
- Applications of AI techniques include:
- Expert Systems
- Image Understanding and Computer Vision
- Navigational Planning for Mobile Robots
