    Study Notes

    Intelligent Agents

    • Agents and their environments are studied to handle interactions between AI-based software and its environment.
    • An agent is anything that can perceive its environment through sensors and act upon it through actuators.
    • Robotic agents have sensors like RGB/infrared cameras and actuators like motors or arms.
    • Software agents have sensory inputs such as file contents, network packets, and human input (keyboard/mouse) and outputs like displays, sound.
    • An agent's action choice depends on its built-in knowledge, where input leads to an agent function that calculates the output.
    • Example: A vacuum cleaner agent in a world has sensors to detect locations (A or B) and statuses (dirty or clean), chooses actions like going right, left, or do nothing, and starts in location A.

    Percept-Action Sequences

    • Agents can use tables of possible percept-action sequences for all possible decisions. This is critical for decision-making.
    • The agent function returns an action based on the current location and status, such as sucking if something is dirty.

    Rational Agents

    • Performance measures evaluate the environment states.
    • These measures represent desirable actions (human perspective) or designer goals in software agents.
    • Designing a measure according to desired behavior, not how the agent thinks, should be achieved.
    • Rational agents choose actions that maximize expected utility, taking into account both percepts and built-in knowledge.

    Simple Reflex Agents

    • These agents make decisions based only on the current percept, ignoring past history.
    • Example: A reflex-vacuum-agent acts only if its location is dirty; otherwise, it does nothing.

    Model Based Reflex Agents

    • They handle partial observability by keeping track of parts of the world not directly visible.
    • They use an internal state to record what they can't currently see, improving decision-making.

    Goal-Based Agents

    • These agents have goals to guide their actions.
    • They choose actions that lead to achieving those goals while keeping track of the current status of the world and desires.

    Utility-Based Agents

    • They handle conflicting goals by assigning a utility function to each outcome. This function maximizes the expected utility of options.
    • In scenarios with partial observability, this helps in decision-making.

    Learning Agents

    • They learn from experiences to improve performance. Using the external performance standard, it evaluates how the agent does.

    Knowledge-Based Agents

    • These agents have a knowledge base with previous knowledge.
    • Based on this knowledge and the current state of the world, the agent can determine the next appropriate action to take.

    Procedural Approach

    • Desired behaviors are directly encoded by the agent designer.
    • This is a direct approach to the design of an agent which is done through programming (if-else statements)

    Declarative Approach

    • The agent designer encodes specifications of what is needed to be done, while a reasoning algorithm manages the output in detail. (for instance, through reasoning rules)

    Ontologies and Knowledge Graphs

    • Ontology is to the design of theories of being (existence)
    • Taxonomy is a categorization that shows relationships between existing things, such as child-parent relationships.
    • T-Box contains concepts and relations used to explain real-world things
    • A-Box shows the facts, statements, or individuals based on T-Box's concepts and relations.

    Monotonic Inference

    • Classical logic (where adding new information in a set of sentences does not invalidate previously derived conclusions).

    Non-Monotonic Reasoning

    • It is when adding new information can revise previous conclusions because knowledge is incomplete.
    • Some example scenarios: doctors making initial diagnoses.

    Common Sense Reasoning

    • It's about creating plausible conclusions through assumptions of the world being normal and as expected.

    Answer Set Programming

    • A paradigm of logic programming used to solve complex problems.

    User Data Modeling

    • Discusses the Dunning-Kruger effect, design methods (engineering, user-centered, participatory), and technological determinism.

    User Profile and User Profiling

    • Summarizes user interest and characteristics for better experience.

    Supervised Machine Learning

    • Methods to find the relationship between the input and output from data.

    Loss Functions

    • Metrics to measure the closeness between predicted values and actual ones. Used to calculate error and optimization of model parameters.

    Regression

    • Learning a model of predicting numerical output from the input.

    Linear Regression

    • A model where the output variable is an affine combination of input variables.

    Classification

    • Learning a model to categorize the input into different classes.

    Logistic Regression

    • A model that uses a sigmoid function for separating classes.

    Support Vector Machine

    • Finding the best border (hyperplane) to distinguish classes with the greatest margin.
    • Used for separating data points into different classes.

    k-Nearest Neighbors

    • A classification method to predict the category of a new data point by finding the k nearest neighbors in the training set.

    Unsupervised Machine Learning

    • Methods to discover hidden patterns or structures in data without labeled outputs.

    Clustering, k-Means, and Gaussian Mixture Models

    • Statistical methods to categorize data into groups and find their distribution.
