Study Notes
Characteristics of AI Problems
- AI problems exhibit distinct characteristics that shape the strategies and techniques used to tackle them effectively
- Key characteristics of AI problems include:
- Learning and adaptation: AI systems should be capable of learning from data or experiences and adapting their behavior accordingly
- Complexity: AI problems often involve dealing with complex systems or large amounts of data
- Uncertainty: AI systems frequently operate in environments where outcomes are uncertain or incomplete information is available
- Dynamism: Environments in which AI systems operate can change over time
- Interactivity: Many AI applications involve interaction with users or other agents
- Context dependence: The behavior or performance of AI systems may depend on the context in which they operate
- Multi-disciplinary: AI problems often require knowledge and techniques from multiple disciplines
- Goal-oriented Design: AI systems are typically designed to achieve specific objectives or goals
Search Algorithms
- Uninformed Search Methods:
- Exploit no problem-specific knowledge beyond the problem definition
- Examples include:
- Breadth-First Search (BFS): Explores all nodes at the present depth level before moving on to nodes at the next depth level
- Depth-First Search (DFS): Explores as far down a branch as possible before backtracking
- Informed Search Methods:
- Use problem-specific knowledge to find solutions more efficiently
- Examples include:
- A* Search: Uses both the actual cost from the start and a heuristic estimate to the goal to find the shortest path
- Greedy Best-First Search: Selects paths based on a heuristic estimate of the cost to reach the goal
Heuristic Methods
- Heuristic Functions:
- Estimate the cost from the current state to the goal, guiding the search process to be more efficient
- Examples of Heuristic Search Algorithms:
- Hill Climbing: Continuously moves towards the highest value neighboring state
- Simulated Annealing: A probabilistic technique that explores the solution space more broadly by allowing worse solutions initially to escape local optima
