5 What is Search? Search finds a solution to a problem Landscape of solutions Some are good Lots (and lots and lots) are bad ow do we find the good ones? 5

6 What is Search? Landscape can continuous or discrete (We will only deal with discrete) Landscape can be (approximated by?) a tree Landscape can be (approximated by?) a graph 6

7 What is Search? X + 2 * Y < 3, X [0,5] Y [1,5] 7

8 What is Search? X=2 Y=5 X=3 Y=5 X + 2 * Y < 3, X [0,5] Y [1,5] X=2 Y=3 X=0 Y=0 X=5 Y=5 X=5 Y=1 X=0 Y=1 X=3 Y=1 X=4 Y=5 X=1 Y=2 X=0 Y=2 X=0 Y=3 X=5 Y=2 X=0 Y=1 X=3 Y=2 X=2 Y=2 X=5 Y=3 X=3 Y=3 X=4 Y=3 X=1 Y=1 X=3 Y=4 X=2 Y=1 X=0 Y=4 X=5 Y=4 X=0 Y=5 X=4 Y=4 X=4 Y=2 X=1 Y=5 X=1 Y=4 X=1 Y=3 X=2 Y=4 8 X=4 Y=1

9 What is Search? X + 2 * Y < 3, X [0,5] Y [1,5] X=0 X=1 X=2 X=3 X=4 X=5 Y=1 Y=2 Y=3 Y=4 Y=5 9

10 What is Search? X + 2 * Y < 3, X [0,5] Y [1,5] Y=1 Y=2 Y=3 Y=4 Y=5 X=0 X=1 X=2 X=3 X=4 X=5 10

11 What is Search? X + 2 * Y < 3, X [0,5] Y [1,5] X>0 X=0 Y>1 Y=1 11

12 What is Search? ifferent flavours ind a solution (Satisfaction/ecision) ind the best solution (ombinatorial Optimisation) ecision problems: Search variant: ind a solution (or show none exists) ecision variant: oes a solution exist? 12

13 What is Search onstructive Search ind a solution by construction Local Search iven a solution, explore the neighbourhood of that solution to find other (possibly better) solutions 13

14 What is Search? nytime algorithm (for optimisation prob): fter a (short) startup time, an answer is available The longer the alg is run, the better the solution Quality guarantee may be available (e.g. solution is within 5% of optimal) One-shot algorithm nswer only available at completion 14

15 What is Search? problem is defined by nitial state Successor function (an action leading from one state to another) oal test Path cost solution is a sequence of actions leading from the start state to a goal state 15

16 xample: Romania 16

17 Problem formulation problem is defined by four items: initial state e.g., at rad successor function S(x) set of action state pairs e.g., S(rad) = {<rad Zerind, at Zerind>,...} goal test e.g., x = at ucharest can be implicit, e.g., asirport(x) path cost (additive) e.g. sum of distances, number of actions executed, etc. c(x, a, y) is the step cost, assumed to be 0 17

18 Tree Search function Tree-Search (problem, fringe) returns a solution, or failure fringe nsert (Make-Node (nitial-state (problem)), fringe) loop do if s-mpty (fringe) then return failure node Remove-ront (fringe) if oal-test (problem, State[node]) then return node fringe nsertll (xpand (node, problem), fringe) function xpand (node, problem) returns a set of nodes successors the empty set for each (action, result) in Successor-n (problem, State[node]) do s a new Node Parent-Node[s] node; ction[s] action; State[s] result Path-ost[s] Path-ost[node] + Step-ost(State[node], action, result) epth[s] epth[node] + 1 successors nsert (s) return successors 18

75 Uniform cost search xpand in order of cost dentical to readth-irst Search if all step costs are equal Number of nodes expanded depends on ε > 0 the smallest cost action cost. (f ε = 0, uniform-ost search may infinite-loop) 75

76 i-directional Search xtend S from Start and oal states simultaneously b d/2 d/2 + b d/2 << b d 76

77 i-directional Search Restrictions: an only use if 1 (or a few) known goal nodes an only use if actions are reversible i.e. if we can efficiently calculate Pred(s (s) (for state s) where a Pred( s) = { r : a r s} 77

78 Summary riterion omplete S Yes S No S Yes Uniform ost Yes i-direc direc- tional Yes Time O(b d+1 ) O(b m ) O(b d ) O(b */ */ε ) O(b d/2 ) Space O(b d+1 ) O(bm) O(bd) O(b */ */ε ) O(b d/2 ) Optimal Yes, for unit cost No Yes, for unit cost Yes Yes, for unit cost b = branching factor ; m = max depth of tree ; d = depth of goal node * = cost of goal ; ε = min action cost 78

79 Repeated State etection Test for previously-seen seen states ssentially, search graph mimics state graph 79

80 Repeated State etection an make exponential improvement in time an make S complete S now has potentially exponential space requirement ave to be careful to guarantee optimality n practice, almost always use repeated state detection 80

81 * Search dea: avoid expanding paths that are already expensive valuation function f(n) = g(n) + h(n) g(n) = cost so far to reach n h(n) = estimated cost from n to the closest goal f(n) = estimated total cost of path through n to goal search uses an admissible heuristic i.e., h(n) h (n) where h (n) is the true cost from n. (lso require h(n) 0, so h() = 0 for any goal.).g., h SL (n) never overestimates the actual road distance When h(n) is admissible, f(n) never overestimates the total cost of the shortest path through n to the goal Theorem: search is optimal 81

95 * Search Optimal No other optimal algorithm expands fewer nodes (modulo order of expansion of nodes with same cost) xponential space requirement 95

96 reedy Search Use (always admissible) h(n) = 0 in f(n) = g(n) + h(n) i.e. always use the cheapest found so far 96

97 Variants of * Search Many variants of * developed Weighted *: f(n) = g(n) + W h(n) Not exact aster nswer is within W of optimal 97

100 Variants of * Search terative eepening * (*) ncrementally increase max depth Memory-bounded * mpose bound on memory iscard nodes with largest f(x) if necessary Others to come in seminars 100

101 Limited iscrepancy Search Requires a heuristic to order choices (e.g. admissible heuristic, but don t t require underestimate) f heuristic was right, we could always take the choice given by the heuristic LS allows the heuristic to make mistakes: k-ls allows k mistakes. 101
