    Study Notes

    Key Research Areas in AI

    • Problem solving, planning, and search encompass generic problem-solving architectures inspired by cognitive science, such as game playing and robotics.
    • Knowledge Representation enables storage and manipulation of information for reasoning and decision-making.
    • Automated reasoning employs stored information to answer questions and derive new conclusions.
    • 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.

    • 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.
