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
