points for each answer

Certainly! Here are point-wise answers (minimum 10 points each) for each question from your
image:

1. Describe uniform search strategies with an example.

1. Uniform search strategies are uninformed search algorithms that do not use domain-specific
knowledge.
2. The most common uniform search strategy is Uniform Cost Search (UCS).
3. UCS expands the node with the lowest cumulative path cost from the root.
4. It uses a priority queue (min-heap) to keep track of nodes based on path cost.
5. The algorithm guarantees the shortest path in graphs with varying edge costs.
6. UCS is complete, meaning it will find a solution if one exists.
7. It is optimal, as it always finds the least-cost path to the goal.
8. UCS is similar to Dijkstra’s algorithm used in graph theory.
9. Example: In a map of cities with different road distances, UCS finds the shortest route
between two cities.
10. The algorithm continues expanding nodes until the goal node is reached with the minimum
cost.
11. UCS can be slow for large graphs due to high memory usage.
12. It is widely used in AI applications like route planning and robotics.

2. Describe bidirectional search with example.

1. Bidirectional search runs two simultaneous searches: one forward from the start and one
backward from the goal.
2. Each search explores the state space until the two searches meet.
3. The main advantage is the significant reduction in search space and time.
4. It is most effective when the branching factor is high, and the goal state is known.
5. The algorithm requires the ability to generate predecessor states from the goal.
6. It is commonly used in puzzles and pathfinding problems.
7. Example: In a word ladder puzzle, one search starts from the initial word, and the other from
the target word.
 8. When both searches meet at a common word, the solution path is constructed.
9. Bidirectional search is complete and can be optimal if both searches use uniform cost.
10. It can be challenging to implement when the goal state is not explicitly known.
11. Requires efficient data structures to detect when the two searches intersect.
12. Used in applications like navigation systems and puzzle solvers.

3. Explain adversarial search algorithm.

1. Adversarial search is used in competitive environments like games.
2. The most common algorithm is the Minimax algorithm.
3. Minimax assumes two players: one maximizes the score, the other minimizes it.
4. The game is represented as a tree of possible moves (game tree).
5. Each node in the tree represents a game state.
6. The algorithm recursively evaluates the value of each node.
7. Terminal nodes are assigned utility values based on win, lose, or draw.
8. Alpha-beta pruning optimizes Minimax by skipping branches that cannot affect the
outcome.
9. Adversarial search is used in chess, tic-tac-toe, and other two-player games.
10. The algorithm assumes both players play optimally.
11. It can be extended to games with more than two players or chance elements.
12. Adversarial search helps AI agents make strategic decisions in uncertain environments.

4. Compare Model-based agents with utility-based agents with the help of

suitable block diagrams.
1. Model-based agents maintain an internal model of the world/environment.
2. They use this model to keep track of unobservable aspects of the environment.

8. Block diagram for Utility-based agent: Sensor → Model → Utility Function → Decision-
making → Actuator.
9. Utility-based agents are more flexible and sophisticated.
10. Model-based agents focus on updating knowledge, while utility-based agents focus on
maximizing performance.
11. Utility-based agents can adapt to changing goals and preferences.
12. Model-based agents are simpler but less adaptive than utility-based agents.

5. Explore the role of control strategy in the architecture of production systems.

1. Control strategy determines the order in which rules are applied in a production system.
2. It resolves conflicts when multiple rules are applicable.
3. Ensures the system progresses efficiently toward its goal.
4. Prevents infinite loops and redundant rule applications.
5. Common strategies include forward chaining (data-driven) and backward chaining (goal-
driven).
6. Forward chaining starts from known facts and applies rules to infer new facts.
7. Backward chaining starts from the goal and works backward to find supporting facts.
8. Control strategy impacts the efficiency and effectiveness of the system.
9. Helps prioritize relevant rules based on the current state.
10. Enables intelligent decision-making in expert systems.
11. Can incorporate heuristics to improve performance.
12. Essential for simulating human-like reasoning in AI systems.

Heuristic Values h(n):

Given:

●​ h(S) = 15​

●​ h(A) = 14​

●​ h(B) = 10​

●​ h(C) = 8​

●​ h(D) = 12​

●​ h(E) = 10​

●​ h(F) = 10​

●​ h(G) = 0​

A* Search Algorithm:

The A* algorithm uses:

●​ g(n): cost from start node to current node​

●​ h(n): estimated cost from current node to goal​

●​ f(n) = g(n) + h(n)​

We start from node S.

Step-by-step Traversal:

Step 1: Start at S
 ●​ g(S) = 0​

●​ f(S) = g(S) + h(S) = 0 + 15 = 15​

Expand S → [A (3), D (4)]

●​ f(A) = g(A)=3, h(A)=14 → f=17​

●​ f(D) = g(D)=4, h(D)=12 → f=16​

Frontier: A(17), D(16)

Step 2: Pick D (f=16, lowest)

Expand D → [E (2)]

●​ g(E) = 4 (g(D)) + 2 = 6​

●​ f(E) = 6 + h(E)=10 = 16​

Frontier: A(17), E(16)

Step 3: Pick E (f=16)

Expand E → [B (5), F (4)]

●​ g(B) = 6 + 5 = 11 → f(B)=11 + 10 = 21​

●​ g(F) = 6 + 4 = 10 → f(F)=10 + 10 = 20​

Frontier: A(17), B(21), F(20)

Step 4: Pick A (f=17)

Expand A → [B (4)]
 ●​ g(B) = 3 + 4 = 7 → f=7 + 10 = 17 (Better than previous g(B)=11 → update B)​

Frontier: B(17), F(20), B(21-old)

Step 5: Pick B (f=17)

Expand B → [C (4), E (5)]

●​ g(C) = 7 + 4 = 11 → f=11 + 8 = 19​

●​ g(E) = 7 + 5 = 12 → f=12 + 10 = 22 (not better than existing g(E)=6)​

Frontier: C(19), F(20)

Step 6: Pick C (f=19)

Expand C → [G (3.4)]

●​ g(G) = 11 + 3.4 = 14.4​

●​ f(G) = 14.4 + 0 = 14.4​

Frontier: G(14.4), F(20)

Step 7: Pick G (Goal reached!)

✅ Solution Path:
S→A→B→C→G

●​ Cost: 3 (S→A) + 4 (A→B) + 4 (B→C) + 3.4 (C→G)​

●​ Total Cost = 14.4​

✅ Final Answer:
●​ Path: S → A → B → C → G​

●​ Cost: 14.4​

Let's address both parts of the question in detail.

Part 1: Compare BFS and DFS (Effectiveness in AI)

Criteria Breadth-First Search (BFS) Depth-First Search (DFS)

Completeness Complete (finds solution if it exists) Not complete (may get stuck in an
infinite path)
 Time O(b^d) where b = branching factor, d O(b^m) where m = maximum
Complexity = depth of solution depth

Space O(b^d) (stores all nodes at current O(bm) (uses a stack and stores
Complexity level) path only)

Optimality Yes, if all step costs are equal No, may find suboptimal path

Use Case Shortest path, routing, game theory Puzzle solving, backtracking,
decision trees

Justification & Examples

●​ BFS is suitable for applications requiring guaranteed shortest paths like:​

○​ GPS Navigation​

○​ Network routing algorithms​

○​ Social networks (e.g., finding shortest connection between people)​

●​ DFS is suitable for problems where the solution is deep and memory is constrained:​

○​ Puzzle solvers (e.g., Sudoku, maze)​

○​ Compilers (syntax trees)​

○​ AI decision trees (e.g., game tree pruning)​

Part 2: A Algorithm and Most Cost-Effective Path from A to J*

A Algorithm Overview*

A* is a best-first search algorithm that uses both:

●​ g(n) = actual cost from start node to current node n​

●​ h(n) = heuristic estimate from n to the goal node​

●​ f(n) = g(n) + h(n) = estimated total cost of path through n​

A Pseudocode Implementation*

1.​ Initialize OPEN with start node.​

2.​ Set g(start) = 0, calculate f(start) = h(start)​

3.​ Loop until OPEN is empty:​

○​ Pick node n from OPEN with lowest f(n)​

○​ If n is goal, return path​

○​ For each neighbor m:​

■​ Calculate g(m), h(m), f(m)​

■​ If m not in OPEN or has better f, add/update it in OPEN​

○​ Move n to CLOSED​

h(A) = 10, h(B) = 8, h(C) = 5, h(D) = 7, h(E) = 3, h(F) = 6,
h(G) = 5, h(H) = 3, h(I) = 1, h(J) = 0

Step-by-step using A*

We'll expand based on f(n) = g(n) + h(n)

Step 1: Start at A
 ●​ g(A) = 0, h(A) = 10 → f(A) = 10​

●​ Neighbors of A: B(6), C(3), G(6)​

Step 2: Choose next with min f(n)​

From A:

●​ B: g = 6, h = 8 → f = 14​

●​ C: g = 3, h = 5 → f = 8 ✅​
●​ G: g = 6, h = 5 → f = 11​

Step 3: Expand C (f = 8)​

From C → F (5), D (7)

●​ F: g = 3+5 = 8, h = 6 → f = 14​

●​ D: g = 3+7 = 10, h = 7 → f = 17​

Add: F(14), D(17), B(14), G(11)

Step 4: Choose G (f = 11)​

From G → H (7)

●​ g = 6+7 = 13, h = 3 → f = 16​

Add: H(16)

Step 5: Choose B (f = 14)​

✅
From B → D (2)​
g(D) = 6+2 = 8, h = 7 → f = 15 (better than 17 earlier)

Step 6: Choose F (f = 14)​

From F → H(1), I(2), E(5)

●​ H: g = 8+1 = 9, h = 3 → f = 12 ✅​
●​ I: g = 8+2 = 10, h = 1 → f = 11 ✅​

●​ E: g = 8+5 = 13, h = 3 → f = 16​

Add: H(12), I(11), E(16)

Step 7: Choose I (f = 11)​

From I → J(2)

●​ g = 10+2 = 12, h = 0 → f = 12 ✅ (Goal reached)​

✅ Final Path: A → C → F → I → J
●​ Cost: A→C (3) + C→F (5) + F→I (2) + I→J (2) = 12​

Summary

●​ BFS vs DFS: BFS is optimal but memory-heavy, DFS is memory-efficient but may miss
best path.​

●​ A Algorithm* is a balance of both: considers actual cost and heuristic, making it both
optimal and efficient.​

●​ Best Path (A to J) using A*: A → C → F → I → J, total cost = 12​

Here is a detailed explanation of the State Space Representation for the 8-Puzzle Problem
using the given initial and goal states.

✅ 8-Puzzle Problem – Overview

The 8-puzzle is a classic problem in AI that consists of a 3×3 grid with 8 numbered tiles and one
blank space (-). The objective is to move the tiles by sliding them into the blank space to reach
a goal state from a given initial configuration.

🔹 Initial State (Given)

CopyEdit
1 2 3
4 8 -
7 6 5

Here, the blank tile (-) is at position (2,3).

🔹 Goal State (Given)

CopyEdit
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 -

Here, the blank tile (-) is at position (3,3), and the numbers are arranged in order.

🧠 State Space Representation

The state space is the set of all possible configurations (states) that can be reached from the
initial state by applying a series of legal moves (up, down, left, right).

🔄 Components of State Space

Component Description

States Each 3×3 configuration of tiles (including blank) is a unique state.

Initial State [[1,2,3],[4,8,-],[7,6,5]]

Goal State [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,-]]

Operators Legal tile moves: Up, Down, Left, Right depending on blank's position

Transition Applying an operator transforms one state to another

Path Cost Each move typically has a uniform cost (usually 1 per move)

Search Nodes represent states; edges represent moves leading from one to
Tree another
🔁 Possible Moves from Initial State
Initial position of blank (-) = (2,3)

From here, the legal moves are:

●​ Left → Swap with 8 → [[1,2,3],[4,-,8],[7,6,5]]​

●​ Down → Swap with 5 → [[1,2,3],[4,8,5],[7,6,-]]​

●​ (Right and Up not possible as the blank is on rightmost and middle row)​

🌳 Partial State Space Tree (First few moves)

Initial State:

→ Move Left:
1 2 3
4 - 8
7 6 5

→ Move Down:
1 2 3
4 8 5
7 6 -

From each resulting state, the blank moves again, generating a tree of states. The goal is to
traverse this tree using a search algorithm (like A*, BFS, DFS) to reach the goal state.

🧩 Heuristic for A* (if applied):

A common heuristic used is Manhattan Distance:
 ●​ Sum of the distances (in tiles) each number is from its correct position.​

✅ Conclusion
The state space representation of the 8-puzzle problem defines:

●​ The set of all legal configurations,​

●​ The legal transitions (via blank moves),​

●​ And allows search algorithms to find the optimal path from the initial state to the goal
state.
