Study Notes
Learning Mechanisms
- Reflex agents typically do not learn and rely on pre-defined rules
- Reflex agents with state maintain an internal state representation and can adapt by updating it based on new information
- Model-based reflex agents use internal state representation to make decisions and can update it based on experience
- Goal-based agents maintain internal goals and take actions to achieve them, and can incorporate learning algorithms to refine goal representation and strategies
- Utility-based agents evaluate actions based on utility and select the action with the highest expected utility, and can incorporate learning algorithms to estimate utilities
Agent Types
- Simple reflex agents select actions based solely on the current percept and predefined rules
- Model-based reflex agents maintain an internal model of the world and use it to plan and reason about actions
- Goal-based agents have explicit goals or objectives and take actions to achieve those goals
- Utility-based agents evaluate actions based on their expected utility or value
- Learning agents improve their performance over time by learning from experience and adapting their behavior based on feedback from the environment
Machine Learning
- Machine learning can be useful in tasks requiring knowledge detection, classification, recognition, identification, and prediction
- There are three types of feedback that can accompany the inputs, which determine the three main types of learning: supervised, unsupervised, and utility-based
- Supervised learning involves learning from input-output pairs to map inputs to outputs
- Unsupervised learning involves processing data to learn patterns without explicit feedback
- Utility-based learning involves learning from a series of reinforcements, such as rewards and punishments
Agents and Environments
- An agent is anything that can perceive its environment through sensors and act upon that environment through actuators
- An environment is everything outside the agent that can be sensed and affected by the agent's actions
- Agents and environments interact continuously, with the agent receiving input from the environment through sensors and producing output through actuators
Rationality and PEAS
- Rationality in AI refers to the ability of an agent to select actions that maximize its expected performance measure, given its knowledge and beliefs about the world
- PEAS stands for Performance measure, Environment, Actuators, and Sensors, and is a framework used to define the design specifications of an intelligent agent
Environment Types
- Environments can be categorized into different types based on their characteristics:
- Fully observable vs. partially observable
- Deterministic vs. stochastic
- Episodic vs. sequential
Learning Approaches
- Relevance-based learning (RBL) uses prior knowledge to identify relevant attributes and formulate a hypothesis
- Knowledge-based inductive learning (KBIL) finds inductive hypotheses that explain sets of observations with the help of background knowledge
