Study Notes
Building Knowledge-Based Agents
- In a declarative approach, 'Tell it what it needs to know' means specifying the knowledge an agent needs to perform its task, rather than how to perform the task.
Knowledge Bases and Inference Engines
- Knowledge bases and inference engines are related in that a knowledge base stores the domain-specific knowledge, while an inference engine uses this knowledge to derive new information or make decisions.
Backward Chaining
- The primary purpose of backward chaining is to find the antecedents (i.e., the premises) that support a given conclusion.
Wumpus World Representation
- In the context of the wumpus world, KB represents the knowledge base that stores the agent's knowledge about the environment.
Inference in Wumpus World
- α (alpha) represents the confidence or probability of a statement being true in the wumpus world.

Description
Explore constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) in Chapter 5, covering CSP examples, backtracking search, problem structure, problem decomposition, and local search for CSPs. Understand how CSPs differ from standard search problems and how the state is defined by variables with specific domains.
