    Study Notes

    Problem Definition

    • Problem definition is the process of converting a typical problem statement into a formal representation suitable for computer usage.
    • This involves specifying the following:
      • Initial state
      • Goal state
      • Rules

    Water Jug Problem

    • In the Water Jug Problem, we are presented with two jugs: a 4-gallon jug and a 3-gallon jug.
    • The objective is to obtain exactly 2 gallons of water in the 4-gallon jug.

    Water Jug Problem Definition

    • Assumptions:
      • 'x' represents the number of gallons in the 4-gallon jug.
      • 'y' represents the number of gallons in the 3-gallon jug.
    • Initial State:
      • Both jugs are empty, represented as (0,0).
    • Goal State:
      • 2 gallons of water in the 4-gallon jug, represented as (2,y).

    Water Jug Problem Rules - Part 1

    • Rule 1: If the 4-gallon jug has less than 4 gallons, the 4-gallon jug is filled, resulting in (4,y).
    • Rule 2: If the 3-gallon jug has less than 3 gallons, the 3-gallon jug is filled, resulting in (x,3).
    • Rule 3: If the 4-gallon jug has water, water is poured out, resulting in (x-d,y), where d is the amount of water poured out.
    • Rule 4: If the 3-gallon jug has water, water is poured out, resulting in (x,y-d), where d is the amount of water poured out.
    • Rule 5: If the 4-gallon jug has water, it is emptied onto the ground, resulting in (0,y).

    Introduction to the Yemeni Cities Road Map

    • The text presents a simplified road map for certain Yemeni cities, denoted as Fig.(SR1).

    Goal of Navigating the Road Map

    • The aim is to find the road from Sanaa to Taiz using the simplified road map.
    • We begin from the initial state, which is Sanaa.
    • The next step is to expand Sanaa's state, identifying all its successors: Amran, Mahweet, Mareb, Dahmar, and Bajel. This is illustrated in Fig.(SR2).
    • The selection of the next state to expand depends on the search strategy employed by the agent.

    Search Strategy

    • A search strategy is required to find a solution within a reasonable time, and this strategy must possess the following characteristics:
      • It should cause motion.
      • It should be systematic.
    • Search refers to a step-by-step method used to solve a search problem within a defined search space.
    • Search is a collection of techniques for systematically discovering or constructing solutions to problems.
    • The steps of search generally involve:
      • Generating a possible solution.
      • Testing the solution.
      • If a solution is found, the process is complete. Otherwise, return to step 1.

    Human Experts and Expert Systems

    • Human experts can develop new and more efficient algorithms to address existing problems.
    • For an expert system to remain valuable, it must be consistently maintained by a human expert.

    Areas of Expert Systems

    • Interpretation: Infers situation descriptions from observations, such as speech understanding and signal interpretation.
    • Prediction: Infers likely consequences from given information, such as weather forecasting and traffic prediction.
    • Diagnosis: Infers system characteristics from systems, such as medical diagnosis.
    • Design: Purpose configuration under constraints, such as electric circuit design and building structural design.
    • Control: Governing the overall behavior of a system, such as production process control, air traffic control, and mission control.

    Expertise in Each Area of Application

    • Each area of application requires specific study to understand its characteristics.

    Design Problem

    • Design problems aim to develop configurations of objects that satisfy constraints.
    • The design process can be broken down into three sub-goals:
      • Proposing a design.
      • Criticizing the design.
      • Modifying the design.
    • These sub-goals can be further subdivided based on the specific design problem.
    • Selecting and connecting components are essential steps in the design process.
    • Once a design is developed, it is analyzed to verify its compliance with constraints.
    • Components that fail to meet specifications are reconsidered.

    Design Problem Definition

    • Goal: To create a design that meets specified constraints and specifications.
    • Known:
      • System specifications.
      • Standard component specifications.
      • Potential relationships between components.

    Knowledge Representation Schemes

    • Knowledge representation schemes facilitate storing and using knowledge within an expert system. Several major schemes exist:
      • Rules: A rule establishes a conclusion that is known to be true if one or more conditions or facts are true. Production rules are the simplest and most widely used knowledge representation. They take the form: "IF THEN "

    Rules Example

    • Example: "IF a person likes a car and the car is for sale, THEN the person will buy the car."
    • When the conditions of a rule are true, the rule is considered "fired," and the conclusion is drawn.

    Semantic Networks

    • Semantic networks represent knowledge diagrammatically. Items are depicted as nodes, connected by arcs labeled with the specific relationship linking those nodes.

    Frames

    • A frame represents an object or situation by describing the collection of attributes it possesses.
    • This is done through a list of typical case attributes, with a slot dedicated to each attribute.

    Expert System Building Tools

    • High-level languages: LISP (LISt Processing) and PROLOG (PROgraming in LOGic) are commonly used in expert systems.
    • Decision factors for language selection:
      • Hardware.
      • Knowledge representation scheme (rules, frames, etc.).
      • Inference strategy suitable for the problem.
    • PROLOG: Suited for goal-driven problems with knowledge represented as rules and frames.
    • LISP: Better for data-driven problems and complex frame-based knowledge representation.
    • PROLOG advantages over LISP:
      • Lower cost.
      • Easier to learn.
      • Built-in backward chaining facility for time savings.

    Programming Environments

    • Programming environments offer ready-made functions in languages like LISP and PROLOG.
    • They provide different knowledge representation methods and inference strategies (backward and forward chaining).
    • Examples of programming environments: KEE and ART. These are suitable for large and complex systems but are expensive.

    Expert System Shells

    • Expert system shells are created by generalizing an existing expert system.
    • An example is EMYCIN, derived from MYCIN.
    • Each shell is specifically designed to address problems similar to the original expert system.

    Criteria for Tool Selection

    • 1. Fit of the tool to the problem:
      • Knowledge representation method:
        • Rule-based system
        • Form-based system
        • Hybrid system
      • Inference method:
        • Forward chaining
        • Backward chaining
        • Hybrid
    • 2. Effectiveness of the developer interface:
      • Documentation, online help, tutorials.
      • Knowledge entry and command functions.
      • Editor.
      • Menus.
      • Visualization of knowledge structure.
      • Uncertainty handling.
