Mrs.H.ARIFUNISHA ASST.PROFESSOR/CSE
QUESTION BANK III - CSE

35. Define the problem solving agent.(A.U APR/MAY 2010)


A Problem solving agent is a goal-based agent . It decide what to do by finding sequence of
actions that lead to desirable states. The agent can adopt a goal and aim at satisfying it.
Goal formulation is the first step in problem solving.
36. Write a function for the table driven agent.(A.U APR/ MAY2011)

37. What are utility basedagents?


Goals alone are not really enough to generate high-quality behavior in most environments. For
example, there are many action sequences that will get the taxi to its destination (thereby achieving the
goal) but some are quicker, safer, more reliable, or cheaper than others. A utility function maps a state
(or a sequence of states) onto a real number, which describes the associated degree of happiness.
38. Define the problem solving agent.(A.U APR/MAY 2010)
A Problem solving agent is a goal-based agent . It decide what to do by finding sequence of
actions that lead to desirable states. The agent can adopt a goal and aim at satisfying it.
Goal formulation is the first step in problem solving.
39. Define the terms goal formulation and problem formulation(A.U APR/MAY 2013).
Goal formulation,based on the current situation and the agents performance measure,is the
first step in problem solving.
The agents task is to find out which sequence of actions will get to a goal state.
Problem formulation is the process of deciding what actions and states to consider given a
goal
40. List the steps involved in simple problem solving agent.
Goal formulation
Problem formulation
Search
Search Algorithm
Execution phase
41. Define search and search algorithm.
The process of looking for sequences actions from the current state to reach the goal state is
called search.
The search algorithm takes a problem as input and returns a solution in the form of
action sequence. Once a solution is found,the execution phase consists of carrying out the
recommended action..
42. What are the components of well-defined problems?

Mrs.H.ARIFUNISHA ASST.PROFESSOR/CSE
QUESTION BANK III - CSE

The initial state that the agent starts in . The initial state for our agent of example
problem is described by In(Arad)
A Successor Function returns the possible actions available to the agent. Given a
state x,SUCCESSOR-FN(x) returns a set of {action,successor} ordered pairs where each action
is one of the legal actions in state x,and each successor is a state that can be reached from x by
applying the action.
For example,from the state In(Arad),the successor function for the Romania
problem would return
{ [Go(Sibiu),In(Sibiu)],[Go(Timisoara),In(Timisoara)],[Go(Zerind),In(Zerind)] }
Thr goal test determines whether the given state is a goal state.
A path cost function assigns numeric cost to each action. For the Romania problem
the cost of path might be its length in kilometers.
43. Differentiate toy problems and real world problems.

80. Define Syntax? (A.U. MAY/JUNE ,2010)
Syntax is the arrangement of words. Syntax of a knowledge describes the possible
configurations that can constitute sentences. Syntax of the language describes how to make
sentences.
81. Define Semantics
The semantics of the language defines the truth of each sentence with respect to each
possible world. With this semantics, when a particular configuration exists with in an agent, the
agent believes the corresponding sentence.
82. What is entailment
The relation between sentences is called entailment. The formal definition of is also is true,
if and only if in every model in which entailment is this: is must also be true. Informally
the truth of is true then true or if contained in the truth of.
83. Define Interpretation
Interpretation specifies exactly which objects, relations and functions are reffered to by the
constant predicate, and function symbols.
84. What is propositional logic?(A.U APR/MAY 2010)
It is a way of representing knowledge.
In logic and mathematics, a propositional calculus or logic is a formal system in which
formulae representing propositions can be formed by combining atomic propositions using
logical connectives
Sentences considered in propositional logic are not arbitrary sentences but are the ones that are
either true or false, but not both. This kind of sentences are called propositions.
Example
Some facts in propositional logic:
It is raning. - RAINING
It is sunny - SUNNY
It is windy - WINDY
If it is raining ,then it is not sunny - RAINING -> SUNNY
85. What are the elements of propositional logic? (A.U. MAY/JUNE ,2012)
Simple sentences which are true or false are basic propositions. Larger and more complex
sentences are constructed from basic propositions by combining them with connectives. Thus
propositions and connectives are the basic elements of propositional logic. Though there are

Mrs.H.ARIFUNISHA ASST.PROFESSOR/CSE
QUESTION BANK III - CSE

many connectives, we are going to use the following five basic connectives here:
NOT, AND, OR, IF_THEN (or IMPLY), IF_AND_ONLY_IF.
They are also denoted by the symbols:
, , , , , respectively.
86. What is inference?
Inference is deriving new sentences from old.
87. What are modus pones?
There are standard patterns of inference that can be applied to derive chains of
conclusions that lead to the desired goal. These patterns of inference are called inference
rules. The best-known rule is called Modus Pones and is written as follows:

88. What is entailment?


Propositions tell about the notion of truth and it can be applied to logical reasoning.
We can have logical entailment between sentences. This is known as entailment where a
sentence follows logically from another sentence. In mathematical notation we write :

89. Define First order Logic? (A.U APR/ MAY2011)


Whereas propositional logic assumes the world contains facts, first-order logic (like
natural language) assumes the world contains
Objects: people, houses, numbers, colors, baseball games, wars,
Relations: red, round, prime, brother of, bigger than, part of, comes between,
Functions: father of, best friend, one more than, plus,
90. Compare different knowledge representation languages.

91. What are the syntactic elements of First Order Logic? (A.U APR/MAY 2013)
The basic syntactic elements of first-order logic are the symbols that stand for
objects,
relations, and functions. The symbols,come in three kinds:
a) constant symbols, which stand for objects;

Mrs.H.ARIFUNISHA ASST.PROFESSOR/CSE
QUESTION BANK III - CSE

b) predicate symbols, which stand for relations;


c) and function symbols, which stand for functions.
We adopt the convention that these symbols will begin with uppercase letters.
Example:
Constant symbols :
Richard and John;
predicate symbols :
Brother, OnHead, Person, King, and Crown;
function symbol :
LeftLeg.
92. What are quantifiers? (A.U. MAY/JUNE ,2012)
There is need to express properties of entire collections of objects,instead of
enumerating the objects by name. Quantifiers let us do this.
FOL contains two standard quantifiers called
a) Universal () and
b) Existential ()
Universal quantification
(x) P(x) : means that P holds for all values of x in the domain associated with that
variable
E.g., (x) dolphin(x) => mammal(x)
Existential quantification
( x)P(x) means that P holds for some value of x in the domain associated with that variable
E.g., ( x) mammal(x) ^ lays-eggs(x)
Permits one to make a statement about some object without naming it
93. Explain Existential quantifiers with an example.
Universal quantification makes statements about every object.
It is possible to make a statement about some object in the universe without naming it,by
using an existential quantifier.
Example
King John has a crown on his head
x Crown(x) ^ OnHead(x,John)
x is pronounced There exists an x such that .. or For some x ..
94. What are nested quantifiers?

Example-2
Everybody loves somebody means that
for every person,there is someone that person loves
x y Loves(x,y)
95. Explain the connection between and

there is no one who does not like ice cream
This can be expressed as :
x Likes(x,IceCream) is equivalent to
Likes(x,IceCream)
96. What is Ontological Engineering?(A.U APR/MAY 2010), (A.U NOV/DEC 2010), (A.U
NOV/DEC 2011)
Ontology refers to organizing every thing in the world into hierarch of categories.
Representing the abastract concepts such as Actions,Time,Physical Objects,and Beliefs is
called Ontological Engineering.

97. How categories are useful in Knowledge representation? (A.U APR/MAY 2013)
CATEGORIES AND OBJECTS
The organization of objects into categories is a vital part of knowledge representation.
Although
interaction with the world takes place at the level of individual objects, much reasoning
takes place at the level of categories.
98. What is taxonomy? (A.U APR/ MAY2011)
Subclass relations organize categories into a taxonomy, or taxonomic
hierarchy.Taxonomies have been used explicitly for centuries in technical fields. For
example, systematicbiology aims to provide a taxonomy of all living and extinct species;
library science has developed a taxonomy of all fields of knowledge, encoded as the Dewey
Decimal system; and tax authorities and other government departments have developed
extensive taxoriornies of occupations and commercial products. Taxonomies are also an
important aspect of general commonsense knowledge.
First-order logic makes it easy to state facts about categories, either by relating objects to
categories or by quantifying over their members:

99. What is physical composition?

100. What are quantifiers? (A.U.NOV/DEC 2009)


There is need to express properties of entire collections of objects, instead of
enumerating the objects by name. Quantifiers let us do this.
FOL contains two standard quantifiers called
c) Universal () and
d) Existential ()
Universal quantification
(x) P(x) : means that P holds for all values of x in the domain associated with that
variable
E.g., (x) dolphin(x) => mammal(x)
Existential quantification
( x)P(x) means that P holds for some value of x in the domain associated with that
variable
E.g., ( x) mammal(x) ^ lays-eggs(x)
Permits one to make a statement about some object without naming it

208. What is machine learning? (A.U.MAY/JUN 2009)
Machine learning
Like human learning from past experiences, a computer does not have
experiences.
A computer system learns from data, which represent some past experiences of an
application domain.
Objective of machine learning: learn a target function that can be used to predict the
values of a discrete class attribute, e.g., approve or not-approved, and high-risk or
low risk.
The task is commonly called: Supervised learning, classification, or inductive
learning
209. Define the term utility? (A.U.NOV/DEC 2009)
The term utility is used in the sense of "the quality of being useful. utility of a state is relative
to the agents, whose preferences the utility function is supposed to represent.
210. What is the need for probability theory in uncertainty? (A.U.MAY/JUNE 2009)
Probability provides the way of summarizing the uncertainty that comes from our laziness and
ignorance. Probability statements do not have quite the same kind of semantics known as
evidences.
211. What is the need for utility theory in uncertainty? (A.U.MAY/JUN 2009)
Utility theory says that every state has a degree of usefulness, or utility to in agent, and that
the agent will prefer states with higher utility. The use utility theory to represent and reason
with preferences.
212. Define conditional probability?
Once the agents has obtained some evidence concerning the previously unknown
propositions making up the domain conditional or posterior probabilities with the notation
p(A/B) is used. This is important that p(A/B) can only be used when all be is known.
213. Define probability distribution: (A.U. MAY/JUNE ,2012)

Mrs.H.ARIFUNISHA ASST.PROFESSOR/CSE
QUESTION BANK III - CSE

If we want to have probabilities of all the possible values of a random variable probability
distribution is used.
Eg.
P(weather) = (0.7,0.2,0.08,0.02). This type of notations simplifies many equations.
214. Define joint probability distribution
This completely specifies an agent's probability assignments to all propositions in the
domain.The joint probability distribution p(x1,x2,--------xn) assigns probabilities to all possible
atomic events;where X1,X2------Xn =variables.
215. Give the Baye's rule equation(A.U APR/ MAY2011)
W.K.T P(A ^ B) = P(A/B) P(B) -------------------------- 1
P(A ^ B) = P(B/A) P(A) -------------------------- 2
DIVIDING BYE P(A) ; WE GET
P(B/A) = P(A/B) P(B)
-------------------- P(A)
216. Define Supervised learning .
Supervised learning is a machine learning technique for learning a function from training
data. The training data consist of pairs of input objects (typically vectors), and desired
outputs. The output of the function can be a continuous value (called regression), or can
predict a class label of the input object (called classification). The task of the supervised
learner is to predict the value of the function for any valid input object after having seen a
number of training examples (i.e. pairs of input and target output). To achieve this, the learner
has to generalize from the presented data to unseen situations in a "reasonable" way.
Another term for supervised learning is classification. Classifier performance depend greatly
on the characteristics of the data to be classified. There is no single classifier that works best
on all given problems. Determining a suitable classifier for a given problem is however still
more an art than a science. The most widely used classifiers are the Neural Network (Multi-
layer Perceptron), Support Vector Machines, k-Nearest Neighbors, Gaussian Mixture
Model, Gaussian, Naive Bayes, Decision Tree and RBF classifiers.
217. Compare Supervised learning and unsupervised learning..
Supervised vs. unsupervised Learning
Supervised learning:
classification is seen as supervised learning from examples.
o Supervision: The data (observations, measurements, etc.) are labeled with pre-
defined classes. It is like that a teacher gives the classes (supervision).
o Test data are classified into these classes too.
Unsupervised learning (clustering)
o Class labels of the data are unknown
o Given a set of data, the task is to establish the existence of classes or clusters
o in the data
Explain the steps in Supervised learning process.
Supervised learning process: two steps
Learning (training): Learn a model using the training data
Testing: Test the model using unseen test data to assess the model accuracy
Number of correct classifica tions
Accuracy ,
Total number of test cases

218. What is a decision tree? (A.U. MAY/JUNE ,2012)


A decision tree takes as input an object or situation described by a set of attributes
and returns a decision the predicted output value for the input.
A decision tree reaches its decision by performing a sequence of tests.
Example : HOW TO manuals (for car repair)
219. Give an example of decision tree induction from examples. (A.U APR/MAY 2013)
An example for a Boolean decision tree consists of a vector of' input attributes, X,
and a single Boolean output value y. A set of examples (X1,Y1) . . . , (X2, y2) is
shown in Figure 18.3. The positive examples are the ones in which the goal Will
Wait is true (XI, X3, . . .); the negative examples are the ones in which it is false
(X2, X5, . . .). The complete set of examples is called the training set.

220. How the performance of learning algorithm is assessed?


Assessing the performance of the learning algorithm
A learning algorithm is good if it produces hypotheses that do a good job of
predicting the classifications of unseen examples.
Obviously, a prediction is good if it turns out to be true, so we can assess the
quality of a
hypothesis by checking its predictions against the correct classification once we
know it. We
do this on a set of examples known as the test set. If we train on all our available
examples, then we will have to go out and get some more to test on, so often it is
more convenient to adopt the following methodology:

Mrs.H.ARIFUNISHA ASST.PROFESSOR/CSE
QUESTION BANK III - CSE

1. Collect a large set of examples.


2. Divide it into two disjoint sets: the training set and the test set.
3. Apply the learning algorithm to the training set, generating a hypothesis h.
4. Measure the percentage of examples in the test set that are correctly classified by
h.
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for different sizes of training sets and different randomly
selected training sets of each size.
The result of this procedure is a set of data that can be processed to give the average
prediction quality as a function of the size of the training set. This function can be
plotted on a graph, giving what is called the learning curve for the algorithm on the
particular domain.
221. What are learning curves?

.The average predicting quality of an algorithm can be plotted as a function of the size of
the training set as shown in Fig 18.7. This is called a learning curve.
It can be noticed that, as the training set grows, the prediction quality increases. (For this
reason, such curves are also called happy graphs.) This is a good sign that there is indeed
some pattern in the data and the learning algorithm is picking it up.
222. What is Ensemble Learning? (A.U APR/ MAY2011), (A.U APR/MAY 2013)
Ensemble means a group producing a single effect.
Ensemble learning is the process by which multiple models, such as classifiers or experts,
are strategically generated and combined to solve a particular computational intelligence
problem. Ensemble learning is primarily used to improve the (classification, prediction,
function approximation, etc.) performance of a model, or reduce the likelihood of an
unfortunate selection of a poor one.
Recently in the area of machine learning the concept of combining classifiers is proposed as a
new direction for the improvement of the performance of individual classifiers. These
classifiers could be based on a variety of classification methodologies, and could achieve
different rate of correctly classified individuals. The goal of classification result integration
algorithms is to generate more certain, precise and accurate system results.
Ensemble Classification
Aggregation of predictions of multiple classifiers with the goal of improving accuracy.
223. What is Explanation based Learning?(A.U APR/MAY 2010), (A.U NOV/DEC 2010)
Explanation based learning is a method for extracting general rules from individual
observations. The basic idea behind EBL is first construct an explanation of the observation
using prior knowledge.
EXAMPLE A caveman toasting a lizard on the end of a pointed stick:

Mrs.H.ARIFUNISHA ASST.PROFESSOR/CSE
QUESTION BANK III - CSE

In the case of lizard toasting,the cavemen generalize by explaining the success of the
pointed stick : It supports the lizard while keeping the hands away from the fire. From this
explanation,they infer a general rule : that any long,rigid,sharp object can be used to toast
small,soft-bodies edibles.
The general rules follows logically from the background knowledge possessed by the
cavemen.
224. What is Relevance Based Learning? (A.U. MAY/JUNE ,2012)
Relevance-based learning (RBL) uses prior knowledge in the form of determinations
to identify the relevant attributes, thereby generating a reduced hypothesis space and speeding
up learning. RBL also allows deductive generalizations from single examples.
EXAMPLE
Consider the case of the traveler to Brazil meeting her first Brazilian. On hearing him speak
Portugese,she immediately conclude that Brazilians speak Portugese. The inferen ce was
based on her Background Knowledge,namely,that people in a given country speak the same
language. The same is expressed in First Order Predicate Logic as follows :

-
(A)
"If x and y have the same nationality n and x speaks language 1, then y also speaks it."
Sentences such as (A) express a strict form of relevance: given nationality, language is fully
determined. (Put another way: language is a function of nationality.) These sentences are
called functional dependencies or determinations. They occur so commonly in certain kind
of applications (e.g., defining database designs)
225. Explain with a diagram the Cumulative Learning Process.
The use of prior knowledge in learning leads to a picture of cumulative learning, in which
learning agents improve their learning ability as they acquire more knowledge.

The modem approach is to design agents that already know something and are trying to learn
some more The general idea is shown schematically in Figure 19.6.
226. What is inductive logic programming?(A.U APR/MAY 2010)
Inductive Logic Programming(ILP) combines inductive methods with the power of
First Order Representation. The object of Inductive learning program is to come up with a
set of sentences for the Hypotheses such that entailment constraint is satisfied.

227. What is Bayesian Learning?


Bayesian learning simply calculates the probability of each hypothesis,given the data,and
makes predictions on that basis. That is,the predictions are made by using all the
hypotheses,weighted by their probabilities,rather than using just ahigh best hypothesis. In
this way learning is reduced to probabilistic inference.
228. What is reinforcement learning? (A.U NOV/DEC 2011)
Reinforcement learning refers to a class of problems in machine learning which postulate an
agent exploring an environment in which the agent perceives its current state and takes
actions. The environment, in return, provide a a reward (which can be positive or negative).
Reinforcement learning algorithms attempt to find a policy for maximising cumulative reward
for the agent over the curse of the problem (Wikipedia).
Examples
Playing chess:
Reward comes at end of game
Ping-pong:
Reward on each point scored
Animals:
Hunger and pain - negative reward
food intake positive reward
229. What is passive reinforcement learning? (A.U NOV/DEC 2011)
Passive Reinforcement Learning
Assume fully observable environment.
Passive learning:
o Policy is fixed (behavior does not change).
o The agent learns how good each state is.
Similar to policy evaluation, but:
o Transition function and reward function or unknown.
Why is it useful?
o For future policy revisions.
230. What is active reinforcement learning? (A.U NOV/DEC 2011)
Active Reinforcement Learning

Mrs.H.ARIFUNISHA ASST.PROFESSOR/CSE
