Study Notes

Search Algorithm Terminologies

Search Space: A collection of potential solutions a system may have.
Start State: The initial state from which an agent begins the search.
Goal State: The desired condition/outcome of the search problem.
Goal Test: A function that checks if the current state meets the goal criteria.
Search Tree: A tree representation of the search problem. The root node is the initial state.
Actions: A set of possible steps or operations an agent can take.
Transition Model: A description of how actions change the state of the system.
Path Cost: A function that assigns a cost to each path in the search tree.
Solution: An action sequence that leads from the start state to the goal state.

Properties for Search Algorithms

Completeness: A search algorithm is complete if, when a solution exists, it's guaranteed to find it.
Optimality: A search algorithm is optimal if it always finds the solution with the lowest cost.
Time Complexity: How much time it takes for an algorithm to complete its task.
Space Complexity: The maximum memory space required by the algorithm during the search.

Types of Search Algorithms

Uninformed Search (Blind Search): These algorithms don't use any problem-specific information.
Informed Search: They use problem-specific information, heuristics, to guide the search process.

Queue Data Structure

A queue follows the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) principle.
Enqueue: Adds an element to the rear of the queue.
Dequeue: Removes and returns the element from the front of the queue.

Stack Data Structure

Stack follows the LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) principle.
Push: Adds an element to the top of the stack.
Pop: Removes and returns the top element from the stack.

Breadth-First Search (BFS)

Explores the search space level by level.
Guarantees finding the shortest path in unweighted graphs
Completeness: Guaranteed to find a solution.

### Depth-First Search (DFS)

Often uses stacks or iterative implementations.
Explores as deeply as possible along each branch before backtracking.
NOT guaranteed to find the shortest path.
Completeness: Not complete if the search space is infinite or has loops (can get stuck in an infinite branch).

### Depth-Limited Search

Implements a limitation on the depth of search (to avoid infinite loops).
Usually used to modify DFS to be complete.

### Iterative Deepening Depth-First Search (IDDFS)

Combines the benefits of BFS (completeness) and DFS (memory efficiency).
Gradually increases the depth limit for DFS searches until a goal is found.

### Bidirectional Search

Runs two simultaneous searches starting from the start and goal states.
Stops when the two searches meet, thus reducing the search space.

Heuristic Search Algorithms

Uses heuristics to direct the search process, improving efficiency.
Examples: Best-First Search (Greedy Search) and A* Search.

Best-First Search (Greedy Search)

Prioritizes paths that appear to be closest to the goal.
Completeness: Not guaranteed to find the solution.
Optimality: Not optimal.

### A* Search

Estimates the total cost of a solution path.
Use a heuristic to guide the search.
Guarantee optimality.

Hill Climbing Algorithm

A type of local search technique.
Aims to find a 'peak' in a search space by continuously moving towards better states.
NOT guaranteed to find the best solution only one local maximum.
May get stuck in local maxima, meaning a better solution is available but it cannot find.

Mean-Ends Analysis

A problem-solving technique in AI.
It aims to reduce the difference between the current state and the goal state.

Knowledge-Based Agents

Relies on a knowledge base and inference engine.
Knowledge base: Stores facts, rules, and other relevant information.
Inference engine: Uses logic and reasoning to derive new knowledge and make decisions.
Methods of knowledge representation: Declarative approach, procedural approach, and other representation methods.
