Study Notes
Types of Artificial Intelligence
- Thinking Rationally: codifying "right thinking" processes, formal logic provides a precise notation and rules for representing and reasoning with all kinds of things in the world.
- Acting Rationally: acting to achieve one's goals, given one's beliefs, more general than the "laws of thought" approach.
Branches of AI
Search
- Problem-solving technique that systematically explores a space of problem states.
- Approaches: means-end analysis, iterative deepening, brute-force or blind search.
- Types of search algorithms: Breadth First Search, Depth First Search, Hill Climbing, etc.
Logical AI
- Represents knowledge of an agent's world, goals, and current situation by sentences in logic.
- Approaches:
- Fuzzy Logic: models reasoning that is imprecise in uncertain environments.
- Non-monotonic Logic: models beliefs in an environment of incomplete information, revising predictions when new observations are made.
Learning
- Machine learns whenever it changes its structure, program, or data to improve its expected future performance.
- Tasks: recognition, diagnosis, planning, robot control, prediction, etc.
Representation
- Central task in AI: representing knowledge.
- Five roles for knowledge representation:
- Representative inside the reasoner or a stand-in for the things that exist in the world.
- Acting as ontological commitments, restricting what we can see in the world and how detailed this perception is.
Areas of Artificial Intelligence
- Natural Language Processing: getting computers to communicate with us in human languages.
- Inference: getting computers to remember complicated interrelated facts and draw conclusions from them.
- Planning: getting computers to plan sequences of actions to accomplish goals.
- Expert Systems: getting computers to offer advice based on complicated rules for various situations.
- Vision: getting computers to look through cameras and see what's there.
- Robotics: getting computers to move themselves and objects.
Turing Test
- Measures the performance of an allegedly intelligent machine against that of a human being.
- Interrogator distinguishes the computer from the human on the basis of their answers.
This quiz explores the concept of rational thinking and formal logic, including the contributions of Aristotle and the importance of cognitive science in understanding human reasoning.
