2 Note on Graph Search Repeated-state checking: When the search state is a graph strategies like DFS can get stuck in loops. lgorithms need to keep a list (LOSED) of already visited nodes. In DFS: If we want to avoid repeating states completely, we need to keep LL the visited states in memory (in the LOSED list) If we just want to avoid loops, we only need to remember the current branch (linear memory as a function of m )

3 Evaluation Functions Idea: represent the information we have about the domain as an evaluation function h Evaluation function (heuristic): Given a state s h(s) it estimates how close or how far it is from the goal Example: In a maze solving problem: Euclidean distance to the goal

4 * t each cycle, * expands the node with the lowest f(n): f(n) = g(n) + h(n) * implementations assume repeated state checking (i.e. assume search space is a graph): OPEN: list of nodes that need to be expanded LOSED: list of nodes that have already been expanded

5 Example: * OPEN = [] LOSED = [] Heuristic used: Manhattan Distance

6 Example: * 3 OPEN = [] LOSED = [] ssigns an estimated cost, f, to each node: f(n) = g(n) + h(n) Heuristic Real cost from to n Heuristic used: Manhattan Distance

7 Example: * 3 OPEN = [,,] LOSED = [] 3 h = 2 Expands the node with the lowest Estimated cost first

41 Implementation Notes Remember the distinction between state and node State: The configuration of the problem (e.g. coordinates of a robot, positions of the pieces in the 8-puzzle, etc.) Node: state plus: current cost (g), current heuristic (h), parent node, action that got us here form the parent node It is important to remember who was the parent, and which action, so that once the solution is found, we can reconstruct the path

42 * Intuition The heuristic biases the search of the algorithm towards the goal: readth First Search No bias

43 * Intuition The heuristic biases the search of the algorithm towards the goal: * readth First Search No bias iased towards the goal

44 dmissible Heuristics To ensure optimality, * requires the heuristic to be admissible: h(n) h * (n) ctual cost to the goal In other words: the heuristic underestimates the actual remaining cost to the goal.

45 * Optimality Proof Suppose some suboptimal goal G 2 has been generated and is in the queue. Let n be an unexpanded node on a shortest path to an optimal goal G 1. n G G 2 f(g 2 ) = g(g 2 ) since h(g 2 ) = 0 > g(g 1 ) since G 2 is suboptimal f(n) since h is admissible Since f(g 2 ) > f(n), will never select G 2 for expansion

46 Heuristic Dominance If h 2 (n) h 1 (n) for all n (both admissible) then h 2 dominates h 1 and is better for search Typical search costs: d = 14 IDS = 3,473,941 nodes (h 1 ) = 39 nodes (h 2 ) = 113 nodes d = 24 IDS 4,000,000,000 nodes (h 1 ) = 39,13 nodes (h 2 ) = 1,641 nodes Given any admissible heuristics h a, h b, h(n) = max(h a (n), h b (n)) is also admissible and dominates h a, h b

47 onsistent Heuristics heuristic is consistent if h(n) c(n, a, n ) + h(n ) If h is consistent, we have f(n ) = g(n ) + h(n ) = g(n) + c(n, a, n ) + h(n ) g(n) + h(n) = f(n) I.e., f(n) is nondecreasing along any path. n c(n,a,n ) n h(n ) h(n) G onsistent heuristics ensure * will not try to expand a node more than once (i.e., they make it more efficient). ut regardless of whether the heuristic is consistent or not, * is still guaranteed to find the optimal path if the heuristic is admissible.

48 onstructing Heuristics by Relaxation h 1 (n) = number of tiles out of place. h 2 (n) = Manhattan distance of tiles to proper locations. dmissible heuristics can be derived from the exact solution cost of a relaxed version of the problem If the rules of the 8-puzzle are relaxed so that a tile can move anywhere, then h 1 (n) gives the shortest solution If the rules are relaxed so that a tile can move to any adjacent square, then h 2 (n) gives the shortest solution Key point: the optimal solution cost of a relaxed problem is no greater than the optimal solution cost of the real problem

49 * everywhere Even for videogame playing:

50 Variations of * SM*: * with bounded memory usage T*: * for real-time domains where we have a bounded time before producing an action LRT*: another real-time version of * (very simple, and the basis of a whole family of algorithms) D*: * for dynamic domains (problem configuration can change) etc.
