Study Notes
Smart Systems and Computational Intelligence Course
- The course is titled "Smart Systems and Computational Intelligence" and is offered by Mayar Mostafa from Alexandria University's Faculty of Computers and Data Science.
- Contact information: [email protected]
Grading
- The course grade is determined by a combination of year work, final project, practical assignments, midterm exam, and final exam.
- The weights for each category are 10%, 10%, 10%, 20%, and 50%, respectively.
Human Intelligence
- Human intelligence encompasses a variety of abilities, including learning, reasoning, perception, language comprehension, and emotions.
What is Intelligence?
- Intelligence is the ability to acquire knowledge and apply it.
What is AI?
- AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is a branch of computer science focused on enabling computers to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
Defining AI
- AI is the study of how to create intelligent machines, which are systems that can reason, apply knowledge, perceive, and manipulate objects.
Schools of Thought in AI
- Thinking Humanly: Focuses on imitating human thinking processes & activities.
- Acting Humanly: Aims to create machines that can perform tasks like humans.
- Thinking Rationally: Emphasizes logic and reasoning as the foundation of intelligence.
- Acting Rationally: Focuses on designing agents that can act rationally in their environment, maximizing chances of success.
Turing Test
- The Turing test evaluates a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from a human.
- A machine passes the test if a human questioner cannot distinguish it from a real person in a text-based conversation.
Acting Humanly: The Turing Test Approach
- Machines that pass the Turing test must possess capabilities in natural language processing, knowledge representation, automated reasoning, machine learning, computer vision, and robotics.
Cognitive Computing vs. Artificial Intelligence
- Cognitive Computing: Mimics human behavior and reasoning, focusing on augmenting human thinking.
- Artificial Intelligence: Aims to solve complex problems and provide accurate results, finding patterns to learn or reveal hidden information.
Thinking Rationally: Laws of Thought Approach
- Aims to codify "right thinking" based on logic, with the goal of creating intelligent systems using logic programming.
- Challenges include the difficulty of formalizing informal knowledge and the gap between theoretical solutions and practical implementation.
Acting Rationally: The Rational Agent Approach
- Focuses on creating systems that act rationally, optimizing their chances of success and making decisions based on knowledge and beliefs.
Goals of AI
- Enhance computer usefulness by automating tasks.
- Understand the principles underpinning human intelligence.
Applications of AI
- AI has applications in diverse fields such as gaming, astronomy, healthcare, transportation, agriculture, education, data security, finance, social media, automotive, robotics, entertainment, and e-commerce.
Artificial Intelligence in Daily Life
- AI is integrated into various aspects of daily life, including email spam filtering, game playing, robotics, virtual assistants, and ATMs.
Intelligent Systems
- Intelligent systems are machines designed to perform tasks beneficial to humans.
- The development of these systems requires effective methods and tools.
Characterization Based on External Behavior
- Intelligent systems are characterized by their external behavior, i.e., how they interact with the environment.
Agent-based Operation
- Intelligent systems operate as agents, sensing the environment through sensors and acting upon it through actuators.
- They can interact with other agents, including human users or other systems.
Rational Behavior
- An intelligent system acts rationally if its actions optimize a performance measure.
- This means consistently taking actions that lead to the best outcome based on the defined goal.
Interacting with the Environment
- Intelligent systems are situated in the environment, meaning they actively interact with it.
- The environment can be static or dynamic, discrete or continuous, fully observable or partially observable, deterministic or stochastic, episodic or sequential, and known or unknown.
Interacting with Other Agents
- Intelligent systems can interact with human users and other artificial agents, including other machines or human users.
- Systems can play roles as delegates (acting in the environment) or advisors (guiding the user).
Learning
- Learning is a key aspect of intelligent behavior.
- Two forms of learning are:
- Performance-based learning, where improvement in task execution reflects learning.
- Knowledge acquisition learning, where agents gain new beliefs through observation, reasoning, or communication.
