Study Notes
Wumpus World Problem
- Wumpus World is a problem that involves an agent navigating a 4x4 grid of rooms to find gold and avoid a Wumpus and pits.
- The agent starts at [1,1] and can move left, right, forward, grab, release, shoot, or climb.
- The agent has sensors that can detect stench, breeze, glitter, bump, and scream.
- The goal is to maximize the performance measure, which is +1000 for gold, -1000 for death, -1 for each step, and -10 for using the arrow.
Wumpus World Properties
- The environment is fully observable, but the agent only has local perception.
- The environment is deterministic, meaning that outcomes are exactly specified.
- The environment is episodic, meaning that the agent's actions are sequential.
- The environment is static, meaning that the Wumpus and pits do not move.
- The environment is discrete, meaning that the agent's actions and perceptions are discrete.
Proof Methods
- Proof methods can be divided into two kinds: model checking and applying inference rules.
- Model checking involves enumerating all possible models of the knowledge base and checking if the goal is true in all of them.
- Applying inference rules involves generating new sentences from old ones using rules like modus ponens.
Validity and Satisfiability
- A sentence is valid if it is true in all models.
- A sentence is satisfiable if it is true in some model.
- A sentence is unsatisfiable if it is true in no models.
- The deduction theorem states that KB entails alpha if and only if KB implies alpha is valid.
Equivalence Rules
- Two sentences are logically equivalent if they are true in the same models.
- Alpha is equivalent to beta if and only if alpha entails beta and beta entails alpha.
Inference Rules
- Modus ponens: from R and R implies S, can derive S.
- Modus tollens: from R implies S and not S, can derive not R.
- Conjunction: from R and S, can derive R and S.
- Simplification: from R and S, can derive R.
- Addition: from R, can derive R or S.
Resolution and CNF
- Resolution rule applies only to disjunctions of literals.
- Every sentence of propositional logic is logically equivalent to a conjunction of disjunctions of literals (CNF).
- CNF is useful for applying the resolution rule.
Conversion to CNF
- Eliminate implies, replacing alpha implies beta with not alpha or beta.
- Move not inwards using de Morgan's rules and double-negation.
- Convert to CNF using the above steps.
Horn Clauses
- Horn clauses are a restricted form of clauses that can be written as an implication whose premise is a conjunction of positive literals and whose conclusion is a single positive literal.
- Modus ponens is complete for Horn KBs.
- Definite clauses are Horn clauses with exactly one positive literal.
- Definite clauses form the basis for logic programming.
Forward Chaining
- Forward chaining is a method for deriving conclusions from a knowledge base.
- It works by firing any rule whose premises are satisfied in the KB and adding its conclusion to the KB, until the query is found.
- Forward chaining is sound and complete for Horn KB.
Backward Chaining
- Backward chaining is a method for deriving conclusions from a knowledge base.
- It works by working backwards from the query q, checking if q is known already, or proving by backward chaining all premises of some rule concluding q.
- Backward chaining is useful for problem-solving.
Forward vs. Backward Chaining
- Forward chaining is data-driven, automatic, and unconscious processing.
- Backward chaining is goal-driven, appropriate for problem-solving.
- Forward chaining may do lots of work that is irrelevant to the goal.
