Module 1: Introduction to AI and Problem Solving

Paradigms

1. Define Artificial Intelligence and explain the four approaches to understanding AI:
thinking humanly, acting humanly, thinking rationally, and acting rationally.
2. Discuss the interdisciplinary foundations of AI by highlighting contributions from
at least five different fields.
3. Describe the major categories of AI tasks and give examples for any four types of
problems that AI aims to solve.
4. Explain the Physical Symbol System Hypothesis and discuss its relevance in the
development of symbolic AI.
5. What are the characteristics of an AI technique? Explain how they help in solving
real-world problems.
6. Compare Artificial Intelligence with Natural Intelligence in terms of origin, speed,
accuracy, memory, creativity, and consciousness.
7. List any five application areas of AI and describe how AI technologies are utilized
in each.
8. Define a state space. With the help of an example, describe the components of a
state space search problem.
9. What is a production system? Explain its key components with suitable examples.
10. Differentiate between ignorable, recoverable, and irreversible solution steps in
problem-solving. Give examples for each.
11. Explain the terms decomposable problems and non-decomposable problems
with appropriate examples.
12. Describe the characteristics of production systems: monotonicity, commutativity,
and determinism. How do these affect system behavior?
13. What are the key issues involved in designing efficient search programs in AI?
14. Compare Breadth-First Search (BFS) and Depth-First Search (DFS) with respect
to strategy, completeness, optimality, memory, and time complexity.
15. What is a heuristic function? Explain the properties of admissibility and
consistency with examples.
16. Describe two commonly used heuristic functions in the 8-puzzle problem. Which
one is more efficient and why?
17. What is hill climbing in heuristic search? Discuss its types and the limitations it
faces such as local maxima and plateaus.
18. Explain the working of the A* algorithm. How does it ensure both completeness
and optimality in search?
19. What is a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP)? Describe how backtracking and
constraint propagation are used to solve CSPs.
20. Define Means-Ends Analysis. Explain the step-by-step procedure and give an
example to illustrate how it works in problem-solving.
