Study Notes
Solving Problems by Searching
- Types of agents:
- Reflex Agent: Considers the current world state and chooses actions based on percepts, without considering future consequences.
- Planning Agent: Considers the future consequences of actions, has a model of the world, and formulates a goal.
State Space Search
- Problems are solved by searching among alternative choices.
- Human problem-solving is based on judgmental rules (heuristics) that limit the exploration of search space.
- Heuristics are strategies for selectively exploring the search space, guiding the search towards promising solutions.
Heuristic Search
- A heuristic is a strategy for selectively exploring the search space, guiding the search along lines that have a high probability of success.
- Heuristics employ knowledge about the nature of a problem to find a solution, but do not guarantee an optimal solution.
- Examples of heuristics used by humans include strategies for playing chess, diagnosing mechanical faults, and solving mathematical theorems.
Goal-Driven Search
- Goal-Driven Search is appropriate when a goal is given or can be easily formulated, and there are large numbers of rules to produce new facts.
- Problem data are not given, but acquired by the problem solver.
Search Basics
- Basic idea of search: Start at the initial state, expand to possible successor states, maintain a frontier of unexpanded states, and pick a state to expand until a goal state is reached.
- Goal: Try to expand as few states as possible to find the optimal solution.
