My Guide to Intelligent Systems Viva




Chapter 1: Types of Agents

We outline four basic kinds of agent program that embody the principles underlying almost all intelligent systems:
1. Simple Reflex Agent
2. Model Based Agent
3. Goal-Based Agent
4. Utility-Based Agent
We will try to understand each of these taking the help of some real world and well acquainted set of examples.



Eg 1) Simple Reflex Examiner:
Examiner: What is the algorithm used for finding solution to 8-puzzle problem?
You: I think...
Examiner: Wrong!

Simple Reflex Agent gives a predefined action for a given percept.



Eg 2) Model Based Examiner:
Examiner: What is the algorithm used for finding solution to 8-puzzle problem?
You: I think we can use the hill-climbing algorithm.
Examiner: How?
You: First we find the heuristic value for initial stage...
Examiner: Stop! I knew you would start off babbling whatever you have mugged up when I ask this question. Tell me any other real world example for hill-climbing algorithm.
You: (stare into space)
Examiner: I knew you students do not bother to learn but only see through classes notes for viva.................

Model Based Agent knows how the world evolves and reacts to the agent's actions.
