| Final Examination |
|
CSE 415: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence The University of Washington, Seattle, Autumn 2012 |
| Date: Tuesday, December 11 (2:30-4:30PM) |
| Format: The first part of the final exam will be similar in format to the midterm exam. The second part of the final exam will consist of a small number of questions to which you will write out the answers. The topics covered will be drawn from the following, which includes some topics from the first part of the course and some from the second. |
Topics:
The Turing Test
Python Data Structures
Dictionaries (hashes):
creating, accessing, iterating over
Lists:
creating, accessing (including slices), copying,
deep vs shallow copying
State-space search
States, state spaces, operators, preconditions, moves,
Heuristic evaluation functions,
Iterative depth-first search, recursive depth-first search,
Breadth-first search, best-first search, uniform-cost search,
Iterative deepening, A* search.
Admissibility of A*.
Minimax search for 2-player, zero-sum games
Static evaluation functions
Backed up values
Alpha-beta pruning
Zobrist hashing
Predicate logic
Interpretations, satisfiability, consistency, models
Resolution
(Note that predicate logic includes the propositional calculus)
Probabilistic reasoning
Bayes' rule
Odds and conversion between odds and probability
Neccessity and sufficiency factors (lambda and lambda prime)
The joint probability distribution
Marginal probabilities
Bayes nets
Perceptrons
How to compute AND, OR, and NOT.
Simple pattern recognition (e.g., 5 x 5 binary image
inputs for optical character recognition)
Training sets, training sequences, and the perceptron
training algorithm.
Linear separability and the perceptron training theorem.
ID3 Decision Tree Learning
Training sets, attributes, values, classes (categories)
Entropy corresponding to a bag of elements
Greedy construction of the tree
Natural Language Understanding
Grammars, nonterminals, terminals, productions
Sentential forms, derivations, the language specified by a grammar
Case frames
Controlled language, semantic grammar
Image Understanding
Illusions: subjective contour, apophenia, pareidolia
