- Machine Learning allows systems to adapt to new data, detect patterns, and extrapolate while learning from experience.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP) facilitates human-like communication between machines and users.
- Computer Vision involves the processing and understanding of visual data.
- Robotics integrates various AI capabilities for autonomy and manipulation tasks.
AI Market Landscape
- Major tech companies including Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Amazon, and IBM are competing to lead the AI market.
- These organizations are acquiring innovative AI businesses as part of their strategic growth.
Knowledge Representation
- Encodes knowledge for computational systems to solve complex problems and make decisions.
- Goals include:
- Expressivity: Capturing concepts' semantics for effective reasoning.
- Efficiency: Optimizing storage and retrieval processes.
- Inference: Enabling derivation of new knowledge through logical reasoning.
- Integration: Combining diverse knowledge forms for unified frameworks.
- Flexibility: Allowing updates and changes in knowledge representations.
Expert System Design
- Field-specific expert systems can address distinct problems.
- A simple garden expert system illustrates decision-making rules based on lawn conditions like "BARE" or "SPARSE."
Semantic Networks
- A knowledge representation method illustrating relationships between objects via directed graphs.
Algorithms in AI
- Algorithms are defined sets of instructions that guide computer operations.
- Search algorithms are fundamental for problem-solving and can be categorized as:
- Uninformed/Blind Search: Techniques such as Breadth-First Search (BFS) and Depth-First Search (DFS).
- Informed Search: Techniques utilizing heuristic information, such as A* Search.
Search Algorithms
- Breadth-First Search (BFS): Explores nodes level by level using a queue data structure.
- Depth-Limited Search: Enhances DFS by limiting the search depth to prevent infinite loops.
- Uniform-Cost Search: Chooses paths based on associated costs, optimizing for least-cost solutions.
Inference Engine
- The core of intelligent systems that applies rules to a knowledge base to generate new insights.
- Operates in two modes:
- Forward Chaining: Begins with known facts to infer conclusions.
- Backward Chaining: Starts with potential conclusions and works backward to validate.
Prolog Language
- Prolog is a high-level logic programming language for AI and computational linguistics.
- Characterized by its declarative nature, supporting facts, rules, queries, backtracking, and unification.
Horn Clauses
- Horn Clause: At most one positive literal, allowing more efficient logical inference.
- Definite Clause: Contains exactly one positive literal.
Forward Chaining Properties
- Data-driven approach progresses from known facts to conclusions.
- Utilizes inference rules to continually derive new data until a goal is achieved.
Genetic Algorithms
- Simulate natural evolution through selection, crossover, and mutation to optimize solutions.
- Operate by initializing a population and iteratively improving quality based on fitness measures.
GA Operators and Parameters
- Selection: Chooses which solutions to preserve, focusing on quality while managing population size.
Nature to Computer Mapping
- Connects biological concepts to algorithmic processes in genetic algorithms, treating populations and individuals as potential solutions and quality measures.
