Assignment – 1
1. Define the term “Artificial Intelligence”. Explain how AI techniques
improve real-world problem solving. 2. What is the significance of the “Turing Test” in AI? Explain how it is performed. Enlist and discuss the major task domains of Artificial Intelligence. 3. Explain what is meant by “Production System” with respect to AI. Discuss the components of a Production System. 4. Explain how a problem can be analyzed based on its characteristics. Analyze the game of “8-Puzzle” based on these characteristics. 5. Consider the Water Jug problem stated below: Water Jug Problem: “You are given two jugs, a 4-gallon one and a 3-gallon one. Neither have any measuring markers on it. There is a pump that can be used to fill the jugs with water. How can you get exactly 2 gallons of water into the 4-gallon jug? ” Explain how this problem can be solved using State Space Search. Also, give the Production Rules to solve this problem and derive ONE feasible solution using the same. 6. Differentiate between Breadth First Search and Best First Search. 7. Explain the MiniMax search procedure for Game Playing using suitable example. What is the significance of Alpha and Beta cut- offs? 8. Explain the algorithm for Steepest-Ascent Hill Climbing. Briefly describe the situations in which hill climbing may fail to find a solution. 9. What is a heuristic? What care should you take while designing a heuristic function? 10. Differentiate between Forward Reasoning and Backward Reasoning. 11. Explain the algorithm of resolution in propositional logic. 12. Explain the different approaches to knowledge representation. 13. Explain Probability and Bay’s Theorem. 14. Discuss the concept of goal stack planning. 15. Explain following terms with reference to Prolog programming language. i) Clauses ii) Predicates iii) Domains
