    Study Notes

    Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

    • Course title: Artificial Intelligence
    • Lecture notes 3
    • University: Mansoura University
    • Faculty: Faculty of Computers and Information
    • Lecturer: Amir El-Ghamry

    Agent Environments

    • Agents must be designed with task environment (PEAS) in mind
      • PEAS: Performance measure, Environment, Actuators, Sensors
    • To design agents, the environment needs to be defined, as fully as possible
    • Example agent types, performances, environments, actuators, sensors:
      • Satellite image system: Correct image categorization; Downlink from satellite; Display categorization of scene; Color pixel array
      • Part-picking robot: Percentage of parts in correct bins; Conveyor belt with parts, bins; Jointed arm and hand; Camera, joint angle sensors
      • Interactive English tutor: Maximize student's score on test; Set of students, testing agency; Display exercises, suggestions, corrections; Keyboard entry

    Environment Types

    • Observable vs. partially observable
      • Fully observable environments provide complete state information
      • Partially observable environments may have missing or noisy sensor data
      • Examples: Vacuum cleaner with local dirt sensor, taxi driver
    • Deterministic vs. stochastic
      • Deterministic environments have predictable next states
      • Stochastic environments have uncertain next states
      • Examples: Chess is deterministic, taxi driving is not (other agents)
    • Episodic vs. sequential
      • Episodic environments involve independent episodes
      • Sequential environments have dependencies between steps
      • Examples: mail sorting robot; chess & taxi driver
    • Static vs. dynamic
      • Static environments remain unchanged
      • Dynamic environments change over time
      • Semi-dynamic environments change in performance score
      • Examples: Crossword puzzles are static, taxi driving is dynamic, chess when played with a clock is semi-dynamic
    • Discrete vs. continuous
      • Discrete environments have finite states and actions
      • Continuous environments have infinite states and actions
      • Examples: Chess is discrete, taxi driving is continuous
    • Single agent vs. multiagent
      • Single agent operates alone
      • Multiagent environments involve multiple agents
      • Examples: Crossword puzzle is a single agent, chess is a competitive multiagent, taxi driving is a partially cooperative multiagent

    Agent Structure

    • Agent = agent program + architecture
    • Agent program: maps percepts to actions
    • Architecture: computing device with sensors and actuators
    • Agent program example:
    function SKELETON-AGENT(percept) returns action
    static: memory, the agent's memory of the world
    memory ← UPDATE-MEMORY(memory, percept)
    action ← CHOOSE-BEST-ACTION(memory)
    memory ← UPDATE-MEMORY(memory, action)
    return action

    Types of Agents

    • Four basic agent types: Simple reflex, model-based reflex, goal-based and utility-based agents.

    Simple Reflex Agents

    • Select actions based solely on the current percept
    • Example: Vacuum agent reacts to dirt based on its current location (Function: REFLEX-VACUUM-AGENT([location,status])
    • Agent Program:
    • If status = Dirty then return Suck
    • Else if location = A then return Right
    • Else if location = B then return Left

    Model-Based Reflex Agents

    • Maintain an internal state to track the environment
    • This state is informed by the percepts and history of actions, evolving independently of the agent
    • Example: Agent can handle partial observability

    Goal-Based Agents

    • Possess goals that guide decisions
    • Agent considers multiple actions leading to their goal
    • Example: Passenger needing to arrive at their destination
    • Consider the future

    Utility-Based Agents

    • Calculate a utility value for a state to quantify happiness
    • Agent makes choices to increase happiness (maximising utility)

    Learning Agents

    • Learning allows agents to adapt and improve over time and experience
    • Components:   - Learning element   - Performance element   - Critic   - Problem generator
