Notes on IntroAIFall08 ( 24 Nov 2008)

Reference: Pg (page number) in AI textbook

  • Refer Pg 321 (Fig 10.1) -> Belief System: Object-oriented view in the universe which is opposite to AI beliefs.

  • Ontology works really well with physical objects.Example: Physics (What is light? Is it physical object (its both wave & particle and in some case not both), sound -> Is wave not a object)

  • Time as an object??? So when it comes to sound,time,air etc modeling it as an object is difficult. Example: Sound is auto-correlated.

  • Time in terms of events works well. So refer Event Calculus at Pg 328.

  • "All activities of the house, is based on the house itself, not the creation of its community"

  • Modeling and Benefiits of modeling -> are both very different

  • Limitation -> expressed as an object (including action). Representation like formal languages of Agents,etc.

  • So the question is: "When you do what?"

  • In Agile Artifacts -> Everything is goal-oriented. Its true for humans,cats,ants etc...then it should be true for the system we build too!

  • Why??? -> Physical objects are regarded as generalized events -> Strange!!!

  • Refer chart 10.1 -> it does not make sense why FOL (First Order Logic) falls apart; its misunderstanding how people process the information without appropriate data collecting & investigating.

  • Example: people prefer analog clock than digital clock. As most people are based on abstraction (depends on grammar)

  • A sentence is true only when its grammar (set of rules) is true/correct.

  • Refer liquid events -> Pg 337 & fluent calculus -> Pg 333

  • Fluent calculus: is used for restricted domain area -> cannot apply for generalized objects.

  • Mental Events & Mental Objects: (Pg 341) is about the belief.

  • Ability of agents (in wumpus world) works on a belief system. Read formal theory of beliefs on Pg 341.

  • "Turning a proposition into an object is called reification" -> Example: Clock & Superman (Refer Pg 341)

  • In AI -> Separate in your head -> the real world and the model.

  • Refer Pg 342 -> Opaque -> using 2 approaches: one complicated and the other representing as strings. Example this._____ in Java (which does not have other reference system)

  • Reasoning (Pg 349 -> 10.6) -> even refer Fig 10.9 on Pg 351
