    Study Notes

    Search Algorithms

    • Search algorithms in AI are used to solve search problems by transforming the initial state to the desired state.
    • They evaluate scenarios and alternatives to help AI agents achieve their objectives.
    • Key components of a search problem include:
      • Search space: A collection of potential solutions.
      • Start state: The initial state of the problem.
      • Goal state: The desired outcome or condition.
      • Goal test: A function to check if the current state is the goal state.
      • Search tree: A representation of the search process as a tree structure, with the initial state as the root.
      • Actions: The possible steps or operations an agent can take.
    • Search algorithms can be categorized as uninformed or heuristic search.

    Properties for Search Algorithms

    • Completeness: Guarantees finding a solution if one exists.
    • Optimality: Guarantees finding the solution with the lowest cost among all possible solutions.
    • Time Complexity: Measures the time required for an algorithm to complete its task.
    • Space Complexity: Represents the maximum storage space needed during the search process.

    Types of Search Algorithms

    • Uninformed Search: Algorithms that do not use any prior knowledge or heuristics about the search space.

      • Breadth-first search (BFS): Explores all nodes at the current level before moving to the next, guaranteed to find the shortest path if the cost of each step is the same.
      • Depth-first search (DFS): Explores a single branch as deeply as possible before backtracking to another branch, may not find the shortest path if the cost of each step is different.
      • Depth-limited search (DLS): A variation of DFS that limits the depth to prevent infinite loops.
      • Uniform cost search (UCS): Explores nodes with the lowest path cost first, guaranteed to find the optimal path for problems where the cost of each step is known.
      • Bidirectional search (BS): Performs forward and backward searches simultaneously, potentially reducing the search space.

    • Informed Search: Algorithms that use additional knowledge (heuristics) about the search space to guide the search process.

      • Best-first search (Greedy search): Explores nodes based on their estimated cost to the goal.
      • A* search: Combines the benefits of BFS and greedy search, by using an estimated cost to the goal plus the current path cost.

    The Queue Data Structure

    • A queue is a linear data structure that follows the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) principle.
    • Basic operations include enqueue (add to the back) and dequeue (remove from the front).

    The Stack Data Structure

    • A stack is a linear data structure that follows the LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) principle.
    • Basic operations include push (add to the top) and pop (remove from the top).

    Breadth-First Search (BFS)

    • Algorithm:
      1. Start by putting the initial node in a queue.
      2. Remove the first node from the queue and add it to the visited list.
      3. Enqueue all unvisited neighbors of the node.
      4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the queue is empty.
    • Advantages: Finds the shortest path in unweighted graphs.
    • Disadvantages: High memory requirement as it needs to store all nodes at each level

    Depth-First Search (DFS)

    • Algorithm:
      1. Start by putting the initial node on a stack.
      2. Pop the top node from the stack and add it to the visited list.
      3. Push all unvisited neighbors of the node onto the stack.
      4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the stack is empty.
    • Advantages: Low memory requirement.
    • Disadvantages: May not find the shortest path, can get stuck in infinite loops in some cases.

    Iterative Deepening Depth-First Search (IDDFS)

    • Combines BFS's completeness with DFS's efficiency by gradually increasing the depth limit in consecutive search iterations which solve infinite loop problems in DFS.
    • Performs forward and backward searches simultaneously from the initial and goal states, potentially reducing the search space and time.
    • Use heuristics (estimated costs to the goal).
    • Best-first search (Greedy search): Selects the node with the lowest estimated cost to the goal.
    • A* search: Combines path costs and estimated costs to the goal to find optimal paths.

    Knowledge-Based Agents

    • Use a knowledge base to store facts, rules, and heuristics for reasoning and decision-making.
    • An inference engine (a reasoning component) allows the agent to derive new knowledge from existing rules.
    • The knowledge base and inference engine are two primary components

    Levels of Knowledge-Based Agents

    • Knowledge level: describes what the agent knows and how it uses this knowledge.
    • Logical level: how knowledge is represented (using formal logic).
    • Implementation level: practical aspects of implementing the knowledge base and inference engine (programming, algorithms).

    Approaches to Designing Knowledge-Based Systems

    • Declarative Approach: States facts and rules and the system uses inference to perform tasks.
    • Procedural Approach: Specifies the steps to perform a specific task.

    Production Rules

    • A knowledge representation technique that consists of IF-THEN rules.
    • IF part defines the conditions, THEN part gives the actions (a sequence of statements to execute).
    • Uses the WORKING MEMORY (WM) as a repository for facts, and if a condition in an IF part matches the facts in WM the THEN part of the rule is executed.

    Types of Knowledge

    • Declarative knowledge: Stating facts or information. (e.g: "All men are mortal, John is a man.")
    • Procedural knowledge: Defines the steps and actions needed to perform a task. (e.g.: "To boil water, first heat the water.")
    • Meta-knowledge: Knowledge about knowledge, how the knowledge was gathered, and how it’s used. (e.g.: "This type of data is used to predict heart attack.")
    • Heuristic knowledge: Using rules of thumb to solve problems. (e.g.: "When driving a car, check your surroundings first.")

    Means-Ends Analysis (MEA)

    • A problem-solving method that breaks down a problem into smaller, more manageable subproblems.

    Reasoning

    • The mental process of deriving logical conclusions.
    • Types of Reasoning:
      • Deductive: Starts with general rules to reach specific conclusions (e.g., if all men are mortal).
      • Inductive: Starts with specific observations to form general rules (e.g., all observed birds have two wings).
      • Abductive: Starts with a conclusion and looks for most plausible explanations.
      • Common Sense Reasoning: Uses everyday experiences and heuristic knowledge (e.g., not putting your hand directly in a flame).
      • Monotonic: Conclusions remain true when adding more information.
      • Non-Monotonic: Conclusions may become false when adding new information.
