  1. Problem Solving and Search in AI Part II

  2. Search Strategies • Uninformed (blind, exhaustive) strategies use only the information available in the problem definition • Breadth-first search • Depth-first search • Uniform-cost search • Heuristic strategies use “rules of thumb” based on the knowledge of domain to pick between alternatives at each step Graph Searching Applet: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/labs/lci/CIspace/Version4/search/index.html

  3. Basic Search Procedure • 1. Start with the start node (root of the search tree) and place in on the queue • 2. Remove the front node in the queue and • If the node is a goal node, then we are done; stop. • Otherwise expand the node  generate its children using the successor function (other states that can be reached with one move) • 3. Place the children on the queue according to the search strategy • 4. Go back to step 2.

  4. Search Strategies • Search strategies differ based on the order in which new successor nodes are added to the queue • Breadth-first  add nodes to the end of the queue • Depth-first  add nodes to the front • Uniform cost  sort the nodes on the queue based on the cost of reaching the node from start node

  34. Exercise: Breadth-First A G B D L C E K H B E F I D O I I J M • Order of node expansion: A, B, D, G, C, E, K, L, B, E, F, I, O, D, H, I, I, J, M Solution Found: A  D  E  I  M (optimal)

  35. Exercise: Breadth-First(with duplicate detection) A G B D L C E K F I O H J M • Order of node expansion: A, B, D, G, C, E, K, L, F, I, O, H, J, M

  37. Example: The 8-Puzzle • States? integer location of tiles • Operators? move blank left, right, up, down • Goal Test? = goal state (given) • Path Cost? One per move

  38. Example: 8-Puzzle – Depth First Search We will assume that we can do repeated state checking (i.e., we will not generate nodes that have been previously expanded)

A 1 10 S B G 5 5 C 15 5 C 15 G G 10 11 Uniform-Cost Search • Each move has some cost • The cost of the path to each node N is g(N) = sum of the move costs • The goal is to generate a solution path of minimal cost • The queue is sorted in increasing cost order • So, lower cost nodes go to the front S 0 1 A B 5

  47. Uniform-Cost Search

  48. Uniform-Cost Search • Always expand the least-cost unexpanded node • Queue = insert in order of increasing path cost Arad 75 118 140 Zerind Sibiu Timisoara <== Zerind, Timisoara, Sibiu <==
