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
