Artificial Intelligence
• Artificial intelligence is the science of making machines
that can think like humans. It can do things that are
considered "smart."
• AI technology can process large amounts of data in
ways, unlike humans.
• The goal for AI is to be able to do things such as
recognize patterns, make decisions, and judge like
humans.
Artificial Intelligence - Examples
Data Structures in AI
• Data structures are ways of organizing and storing data in a computer
memory,
• Some popular data structures for AI include arrays, lists, stacks, queues, trees,
and graphs.
• Arrays are fixed-size collections of elements of the same type, useful for
storing sequential data.
• Lists are dynamic collections that can contain different types, perfect for
data that needs to grow or shrink.
• Stacks use the last-in, first-out (LIFO) principle and are suitable for
processing data in reverse order.
• Queues utilize the first-in, first-out (FIFO) principle and are ideal for
handling data that needs to be processed in order.
• Trees are hierarchical collections of nodes with parent-child relationships
and work well with data that has a natural structure.
• Graphs are collections of nodes connected by edges and can represent
complex relationships such as networks or maps.
Stacks
• Stack - Last In First Out (LIFO) lists
 An ordered list; a sequence of items, piled one on top of the other.

 The insertions and deletions are made at one end only, called Top.

 If Stack S = (a[1], a[2],…….a[n]) then a[1] is bottom most element

 Any intermediate element (a[i]) is on top of element a[i-1], 1 < i <= n.


 In Stack all operation take place on Top.

• The Pop operation removes item from top of the stack.

• The Push operation adds an item on top of the stack.


Stack - Example
Queue
• Queue - First In First Out (FIFO) lists
• An ordered list; a sequence of items; there are restrictions about how items can
be added to and removed from the list.
• A queue has two ends.
• All insertions (enqueue ) take place at one end, called Rear or Back
• All deletions (dequeue) take place at other end, called Front.
• If Queue has a[n] as rear element then a[i+1] is behind a[i] , 1 < i <= n.
• All operation takes place at one end of queue or the other.
• The Dequeue operation removes the item at Front of the queue.
• The Enqueue operation adds an item to the Rear of the queue.
Queue - Example
Tree
• Tree is a way of organizing objects, related in a hierarchical fashion.
• Tree is a type of data structure in which each element is
attached to one or more elements directly beneath it.
• The connections between elements are called branches.
• Tree is often called inverted trees because it is drawn with the
root at the top.
• The elements that have no elements below them are called
leaves.
• A binary tree is a special type: each element has only two
branches below it.
Tree - Properties
• Tree is a special case of a graph.
• The topmost node in a tree is called the root node. At root node all operations on
the tree begin.
• A node has at most one parent.
• The topmost node (root node) has no parents.
• Each node has zero or more child nodes, which are below it .
• The nodes at the bottommost level of the tree are called leaf nodes.
Since leaf nodes are at the bottom most level, they do not have
children.
• A node that has a child is called the child’s parent node.
• The depth of a node n is the length of the path from the root to the
node.The root node is at depth zero.
Trees - Example
Graph
• A tree is a graph in which any two vertices are connected by exactly
one path. Alternatively, any connected graph with no cycles is a tree.
• Graphs are collections of nodes connected by edges
and can represent complex relationships such as
networks or maps.
Algorithms for AI
• Algorithms are sets of instructions that tell a computer how to
solve a problem or perform a task.
• The right algorithm for an AI problem can dramatically improve the
speed, accuracy, and scalability of code.
• For example, sorting algorithms such as bubble sort, insertion sort,
merge sort, quick sort, and heap sort are useful for organizing and
comparing data
• Search algorithms like linear search, binary search, breadth-first
search, depth-first search, and A* search can be used to locate and
retrieve data.
• Optimization algorithms like gradient descent, genetic algorithm,
simulated annealing, and particle swarm optimization can help find
the best solution to a problem.
• Finally, machine learning algorithms like linear regression, logistic
regression, k-means clustering, support vector machine, and neural
How to use data structures and algorithms in AI

• To use data structures and algorithms in AI, the user need to understand the nature
and requirements of your problem and the characteristics and trade-offs of the
options.
• To help the user to choose and apply data structures and algorithms in AI, it's
important to first define your problem, analyze your data, select a data structure,
select an algorithm, and then evaluate your solution.
• Defining the problem means outlining the goal of your AI system, the inputs and
outputs, as well as the constraints and assumptions.
• Analyzing the data requires understanding its type, size, distribution, how it is
stored/accessed/processed/manipulated.
• Selecting a data structure involves considering its suitability for data
type/size/operations, advantages/disadvantages, implementation/testing.
• The same goes for selecting an algorithm - it should be suitable for problem
goal/data structure/performance criteria with advantages/disadvantages that are
implemented and tested.
• Finally, evaluating the solution means assessing how well it solves the problem,
its speed/accuracy/scalability, and how it can be improved.
Examples of data structures and algorithms in
AI
• For example, image recognition involves identifying and
labeling objects in an image, which can be solved using an array
to store the image pixels, a tree to store the image features,
and a neural network to classify the image.
• Pathfinding is the problem of finding the shortest or cheapest
path between two points on a map, which can be solved by using a
graph to store the map nodes and edges, a queue to store the
frontier nodes, and A* search to find the optimal path.
• The traveling salesman problem is solving for the shortest or
cheapest route that visits a set of cities and returns to the
starting point; this can be done by using a list to store the city
names and distances, a stack to store the current route, and a
genetic algorithm to find the optimal route.
Benefits of data structures and algorithms in AI
• Using data structures and algorithms in AI can bring many
benefits to your system and your development process, such as
efficiency, accuracy, and creativity.
• Data structures and algorithms can help optimize the use of
computer resources, reduce time and space complexity,
and improve performance and scalability.
• Additionally, they can help improve the quality and reliability
of your system by handling errors, uncertainties, and outliers in
your data.
• Moreover, data structures and algorithms can help explore
new possibilities for your problem by modeling complex and
dynamic data and creating innovative and adaptive systems.
